Abstract
The broadcast environment has asymmetric communication aspect that is typically much greater communication bandwidth available
from server to clients than that of the opposite direction. In addition, mobile computing systems generate mostly read-only
transactions from mobile clients for retrieving different types of information such as stock data, traffic information and
news updates. Since previous concurrency control protocols, however, do not consider such a particular characteristics, the
performance is degraded when previous schemes are applied to the broadcast environment. In this paper, we propose optimistic
concurrency control based on timestamp interval for broadcast environment. The following requirements are satisfied by adapting
weak consistency that is the most appropriate correctness criterion of read-only transactions: (1) the mutual consistency
of data maintained by the server and read by clients (2) the currency of data read by clients. We also adopt the Timestamp
Interval protocol to check the weak consistency efficiently. As a result, we improved a performance by reducing unnecessary
aborts and restarts of read-only transactions caused when global serializability was adopted.
