Recent advances in wireless communication technology and popularity of portable computers have rendered the mobile computing environments that users access the information via wireless channel, regardless of the situation or the location. In this environments, a mobile host have a cache to avoid the bandwidth usage and improve the response time of transactions. However, the cache mechanism does not guarantee the serializable execution of mobile transactions. In this paper, we propose the BGI-MT
