Abstract

In this paper, we propose a self-stabilizing mutual exclusion algorithm using tokens for mobile ad hoc networks. Our algorithm is based on dynamic virtual rings formed by circulating tokens. We require the topology to be static while the algorithm is converging. But after it has converged, under a restricted mobility assumption, it guarantees both the safety and liveness properties of mutual exclusion; under arbitrary mobility, it cannot guarantee the liveness property, but it does guarantee the safety property.
