PROTOCOL FOR SYNCHRONIZING PARALLEL PROCESSORS IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

A method or protocol for synchronizing parallel processors in a mobile communication system is disclosed, whereby a sync engine associated with one processor retrieves the current value of a change counter for a database associated with the second processor, stores the current value of the change counter, retrieves all data entries from the database associated with the second processor, and performs a synchronization procedure for a database associated with the first processor based on of all of the data entries retrieved. By examining the change counter, the sync engine can determine whether a user modified a database while the synchronization was in process.
