Mesh-based geocast routing protocols in an ad hoc network

This paper concerns the development and performance evaluation of protocols that provide geocast communication in an ad hoc netw ork. The goal of a geocasting protocol is to deliver pac kets to a group of nodes that are within a speci ed geographical area, i.e., the geocast region. The geocast group consists of the nodes within this region at a given time. We present three di erent approaches for delivering packets to the geocast group and then evaluate these approaches via simulation. In addition, we consider the e ect the random waypoint mobility model has on the performance evaluation of an ad hoc netw ork protocol in general.
