Location-based Spatial Queries

Summary: Introduces location-based validity regions for previous spatial queries (NN and window) to reuse results as mobile users move. Defines region construction, processing algorithms, and analytical models for expected region size, yielding significant query-rate reduction with minimal overhead.
