Self-stabilizing 2(m)-clock for unidirectional rings of odd size

In this paper, we propose a self-stabilizing K-clock protocol for unidirect ional rings with odd size, where K = 2(m) and m is any positive integer. Be sides the variable for maintaining the clock, the proposed protocol only re quires one additional bit. The worst-case stabilizing time is O(K.n(2)), wh ere n is the ring size.
