Priority Based Hybrid Mutual Exclusion Algorithm with Starvation Avoidance for MANET

摘要

abstract_textpMobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) consists of a collection of highly mobile nodes and stationary system and components which interact with each other closely and communicate to achieve the required network functionality. Since MANET is a distributed network and has no centralized controlling unit to handle the overall network operation, it is necessary to ensure that all the operations are performed in a synchronised manner. This is due to the fact that in MANET, several process share the network resource and if two or more process try to access a shared resource at the same time instant, then it may result in distributed mutual exclusion issue. To overcome this issue, it is necessary to ensure that all the processes work in synchronization with the other. In this paper, we propose to develop a Priority based Hybrid Mutual Exclusion Algorithm with Starvation Avoidance for MANET. In this technique, the process operations which use the shared resource are prioritized in an efficient manner to allow usage of the shared resource by one process at a time, and also by avoiding the starvation issue usually seen in MANET./p/abstract_text
