ABSTRACT
The Byzantine Agreement (BA) plays a key role in fault-tolerant distributed system design. More existing BA protocols are designed for wired networks. In practice, wireless and mobile computing are becoming increasingly popular; the topology of network is trending wireless and provides support for mobile computing. Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a kind of popular wireless network. The proposed protocol can make each fault-free mobile processor reach an agreement value to cope with the faulty component in the virtual subnet of MANET.
