Abstract

In many mobile computing systems, most of the transactions are read-only. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to process read-only transactions in broadcast environments such that the serializability of transactions is maintained. The serializability of transactions is a crucial issue in applications such as stock trading. However, in broadcast environments, the upstream communication capacity from mobile clients to the server is very limited. Therefore, conventional concurrency control protocols, which require equal bandwidth of communication on both sides of mobile clients and the server, become handicapped in this environment. In our algorithm, read-only transactions can be completed locally and autonomously at the mobile clients without upstream communication, which is a highly desirable feature for the scalability of applications running in broadcast environments. The simulation results show that our proposed algorithm performs well in a wide range of settings.
