Abstract

The system considered in this paper is a mobile wireless network, commonly known as an ad hoc network. Mobile nodes in this dynamic topology function both as processors and routers to provide communication between nodes which are not within wireless transmission range. We present a token based mutual exclusion algorithm designed for an ad hoc distributed system. This mutual exclusion algorithm modifies a logical tree structure when link failures occur or when the token moves, thereby adapting to node mobility.
