Checkpointing is an efficient fault tolerance technique used in distributed systems. Due to the emerging challenges of the mobile distributed system as low bandwidth, mobility, lack of stable storage, frequent disconnections and limited battery life, the fault tolerance technique designed for distributed system can not directly implemented on mobile distributed systems(MDSs). This research paper presents an efficient low cost synchronous checkpointing algorithm which fit into the mobile environment.
