Locating Group Members in a Mobile Environment

Abstract The Internet Engineering Task Force lists multicasting as a desired service for our future mobile computing environment. To provide this service, location management of a group of users involved in a multicasting application needs to be addressed. In this paper, we propose two protocols that can be used by a group of mobile hosts to share their current location with other group members efficiently.
