Revisit Byzantine Agreement in Hybrid Fallible Virtual Subnet Network

Abstract

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) may suffer from various types of processor failure. In order to enhance the fault-tolerance and reliability of the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks, the Byzantine Agreement problem in the virtual subnet network of MANET is revisited in this paper. The proposed protocol is called Hybrid Agreement Protocol for processor (HAPp) which can make each correct mobile processor reach an agreement value to cope with the faulty component in the virtual subnet network.
