Description
Summary:	While traditional fixed-wired network protocols like 2-phase-commit guarantee atomicity, we cannot use them in mobile low bandwidth networks where network partitioning, node failure, and message loss may result in blocking. To deploy traditional database applications easily into a mobile environment, there is a demand for a protocol which guarantees an atomic commit of transactions. This paper introduces a protocol which can guarantee such atomic commitment in mobile environments using a combination of commit and consensus protocols. In addition, it takes advantage of mobile network sub-structures like single-hop environments to reduce message transfer costs.
