Summary:We address the problem of maintaining logical time in a distributed system operating over a wireless data network. In such a network a group of mobile nodes currently located in a specific area use services of a mobility service agent to communicate with each other and with the rest of the world. The graph model of the network is represented by fully-connected mesh of star-topology subgraphs. We discuss the complementary logical clocks for the wireline and wireless segment of the network and their integration into an isomorphic logical time system. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
