Although data broadcast has been shown to be an efficient method for disseminating data items in a mobile computing system with large number of clients, the issue on how to ensure the data consistency observed by mobile transactions, which are generated by mobile clients, has been largely ignored by researchers in the area. While data items are being broadcast, update transactions may install new values for the data items. If the executions of update and broadcast of data items are interleaved without any control, the mobile transactions may observe inconsistent data values. In this paper, we propose a serialization checking method (SCM) for concurrency control between read-only mobile transactions and update transactions. SCM is based on the framework of an earlier algorithm, Update First with Ordering (UFO), but improves on that algorithm by reducing re-broadcast overhead when the probability of data conflict between updates and data broadcast is high. Simulation experiments have been performed to investigate the performance characteristics of the proposed method.
