Continuous Donut-Pie $ k$ CNN Queries

In section [*], we presented our technique to continuously monitor the $ k$ CNN queries where the region is constrained by some angle range and in section [*] we discussed how we can use CircularTrip to answer continuous $ k$ CNN queries with the region constrained by some distance bound. In this section we discuss the $ k$ CNN queries in the region which is constrained by both the angle range and the distance.

The user specifies an angle range $ \langle \theta_1,\theta_2
\rangle$ and the distance range $ d_L$ and $ d_U$ where $ d_L$ is the lower bound and $ d_U$ is the upper bound. The query $ q$ is to continuously monitor the $ k$ NNs in the region bounded by the defined distance and angle range constraints. The constrained region is shown shaded in Fig. [*].
