Abstract

In this paper, we address the geocasting problem for cellular mobile networks. The crucial components to support geocasting services are, the geolocation mechanism, dispersion of the geolocation information, and geocast message routing and delivery. We present a cellular architecture to support geocasting with minimal overhead signaling, subject to the quality of service requirements of the particular geocast applications.
