The research presented in this dissertation deals with the following performance issues in mobile wireless networks: recovery, location management and routing. The mobile wireless environment poses challenging fault-tolerant data management problems due to the mobility of the users, limited bandwidth on the wireless link, and power restrictions on the mobile hosts. Thus, traditional fault-tolerance schemes cannot be directly applied to these systems. To this effect, extensions to existing traditional recovery schemes are presented which suit this environment. Analytical models are built to analyze the performance of these schemes to determine those environments where a particular recovery scheme is best suited. The trade-off parameters to evaluate the r...
