Single Phase Reliable Timeout Based Commit Protocol

The enormous progress in applications of distributeddatabase systems necessitates formulation of an efficient atomiccommitment protocol. The efficiency of these protocols is vitalwhen higher transaction throughput is to be supported. Theexisting blocking commit protocols affect over the capacity ofsystem resources, which worsens in distributed database system.This paper proposes the Non Blocking Single Phase ReliableTimeout Based Commit Protocol (SPRTBCP), an extension to theModified Reliable Timeout Based Commit Protocol (MRTBCP ),maintains the atomicity and supports off -line executions anddisconnections during commitment; it decreases the cost ofwireless communication by reducing it to a single phasecommitment operation and does not maintain log agent. Hence itreduces message complexity and average commit time . It alsosupports disconnections and handoff in mobile environment
