The UB-tree as proposed by
Insertion, deletion, and point query are done as with ordinary B+ trees. To perform range searches in multidimensional point data, however, an algorithm must be provided for calculating, from a point encountered in the data base, the next Z-value which is in the multidimensional search range.
The original algorithm to solve this key problem was exponential with the dimensionality and thus not feasible[1] ("GetNextZ-address"). A solution to this "crucial part of the UB-tree range query" has been described later.[2] This method has already been described in an older paper[3] where using Z-order with search trees has first been proposed.
