Abstract

Mutual exclusion is a well-studied topic in distributed systems. A distributed system with the duplicate copy of resources can increase throughput by allowing many processes to call their critical sections simultaneously through parallel execution. Because of the ongoing development of wireless technologies and dynamic networks such as mobile ad hoc networks, they are becoming increasingly complicated and varied in today's world. Flying ad hoc network (FANET), as a special variant of mobile ad hoc network, has nodes in which the cooperation and collaboration are highly dynamic and unpredictable in nature. In FANET, resources are mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) which can operate remotely with a flying capacity in the air without any human personnel. Various protocols as distributed mutual exclusion algorithms have been proposed as a solution to the mutual exclusion problem in a distributed system. To the best of our knowledge, such algorithms in FANETs haven't been exposed much and moreover through this paper, we present a novel token-based k mutual exclusion algorithm as mutual exclusion algorithm for flying network-multi UAV with its correctness proof and fault handling capabilities. To improve overall throughput as compared to single-UAV FANET, our approach works in a multi resource occupied flying environment and allows k duplicated resources mounted on available UAVs that facilitate processes at most k to invoke their critical sections simultaneously. This solution is also fault-tolerant to UAV failure in the system, whereas in single-UAV FANET, this considers a failure of the entire system. We have also presented simulation results for our algorithm with range of 5–20 resource-equipped UAVs architecture support that indicate more efficient results for performance throughput metric.
