PI and PIF based mobilizer

This paper introduces a novel method, called the mobilizer, of executing synchronous communication protocols in a cellular mobile environment. First, we present a distributed protocol, called mobile propagation of information (MPI), for broadcasting over a mobile environment. Then, we present the mobile propagation of information with feedback (MPIF) protocol, which can be used to implement this mobilizer, that is, enable synchronous protocols to run over distributed networks with mobile users. The additional message complexity overhead, induced due to the mobilizer, is linear with the number of users' movements.
