In a mobile computing environment, clients can access data irrespective of their physical location. Data is shared among multiple clients and can be updated by each client independently. This leads to inconsistency of the data. Due to limitations of mobile computing environment traditional techniques cannot be used. Several concurrency control techniques are proposed in literature to prevent data inconsistency. In this paper we first analyze the existing scheme of concurrency control without locking and justify its Performance limitations. A new scheme is proposed which adaptively set the validity period of the cached data items based on the number of data items required and current load of the database server. Experimental results show performance benefits and increase in commit rate of the transactions
