    You could implement a balanced binary tree like a Red-Black Tree

    A Red-Black tree has O(log(n)) time complexity for search, insertion and deletion.

    You will have to make some modification to return the smallest element that is greater or equal to a given key. But the basic behavior is provided by this data structure I guess.
