Supporting range query over Peer-to-Peer systems has attracted many research efforts in recent years. In this paper, we propose a new multidimensional indexing structure for P2P systems called Distributed Hilbert R-trees (DHRtrees). DHR-trees enables multidimensional range query to be executed similarly as in overlapping regions tree in P2P systems. Its distributed structure makes it fault-tolerant and scalable to dynamic network environment with a large number of peers as well. Our experiments shows that it performs well on multidimensional range query while the maintenance cost is reasonably low.
