Abstract

Mutual exclusion that applied on existing systems was designed for static distributed systems. but now computing environments are going to mobile computing environments. Therefore a mutual exclusion algorithm in static distributed environments should be designed for new computing environments. So this paper proposes a mobile mutual exclusion algorithm to support the mutual exclusion of shared resources in mobile computer environments. Mobile computing resources as wireless hosts cause new issues because of their mobility and weakness and made mutual exclusion problem more complex than stationary distributed environments. So we proposed a new mobile token mutual exclusion algorithm with deadlock-free and starvation-free in mobile computing environments based on spanning tree topology and extend for mobile computing environments. The proposed algorithm minimizes message complexity in case of free hopping in cellular networks.

기존의 시스템에 적용되었던 상호배제 문제는 정적인 분산 컴퓨팅 환경에 적합하도록 설계되어 있다. 하지만 현재는 모바일 컴퓨팅환경이 진행되고 있으므로 정적 분산 환경에서의 상호배제 문제가 새로운 컴퓨팅 환경에 적용할 수 있도록 설계되어야 한다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 모바일 컴퓨팅환경 에 맞는 알고리즘을 연구하였다. 모바일 컴퓨팅환경이라는 새로운 환경에 알맞은 상호배제문제는 기존의 정적인 분산컴퓨팅환경의 상호배제보다 단말 이동성 빛 차원 취약성 때문에 더 복잡한 시스템 구성을 보 인다. 본 논문은 정적 분산 환경에서의 상호배제를 모바일 컴퓨팅 환경으로 확장 할 수 있는 새로운 상호배제 알고리즘을 제안한다. 모바일 분산시스템 노드들의 상호관계를 트리 구조로 나타내고 이동 호스트들 사이의 토큰 전달을 통해서 Deadlock과 Starvation으로부터 자유로운 상호배제를 지원하는 모바일 상호배제 알고리즘을 제안한다
