“…The basic idea of MinMax-threshold approach such as MINMAX [10] , the plane project parallel skyline query strategy [13] and the incremental maintenance of the skyline [13] , is to use a threshold to prune the dominated data at intermediate tree nodes. Data-related cluster architecture based on the pruning strategy [14] use the MINMAX algorithm to find the global pruning value, and then cluster heads can determine whether to send sensor data to the lower layer member nodes. In the MinMax-threshold approach, the threshold of each node is determined locally so that many locally resultant tuples are not the global skyline.…”
