In this paper, we propose a self-stabilizing Kclock protocol for unidirectional rings with odd size, where K = 2 m and m is any positive integer. Besides the variable for maintaining the clock, the proposed protocol only requires one additional bit. The worst-case stabilizing time is O(K•n 2 ), where n is the ring size.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
