Abstract

Communication protocols and services are being adapted intrinsic characteristics of mobile computing. This paper identifies the main features which have to be considered when providing a multicast service for mobile computing. It then introduces the idea of group view with host status and presents four possible multicast service types with a description of how they work. By supporting some level of flexibility for disconnection and asynchronous message passing, the service will provide a good basis for building applications for mobile computing.
