This paper presents a two-tier coordinated checkpointing algorithm which can reduce the number of messages by being composed of two levels in mobile computing. Thus r mobile devices have a high mobility and are lack of resources (e.g., storage, bandwidth, and battery power), traditional distributed algorithms like coordinated checkpointing algorithms could not he applied properly in mobile environment. In our proposed two-tier coordinated checkpointing algorithm, the messages to he transferred are requested by the mobile hosts and are handled by the appropriate MSS's (Mobile Support Stations). And the broadcast messages are handled by MSS instead of relaying the messages to all the mobile hosts directly as with the previous algorithms. This can reduce the communication cost and maintain the overall system consistency. In wireless cellular network, mobile computing based on a two-tier coordinated checkpointing algorithm reduces the number of synchronization messages. We perform performance comparisons by parametric analysis to show that a two-tier coordinated checkpointing algorithm can reduce communication cost compared to the previous algorithms in which the messages are directly sent to the mobile hosts.
