Abstract:Mutual Exclusion (ME) problem involves a group of processes, each of which intermittently requires access to the only resource present in the environment. Handling ME problem becomes difficult due to the dynamic nature of the ad hoc environment. This paper presents a token-based solution to ME problem in the mobile ad hoc environment. The proposed token based algorithm is sensitive to link forming and link breaking and thus is suitable for MANET. The algorithm uses the concept of dynamic request set (DRS). As … Show more
