%0 Journal Article %T Geocasting and Multicasting Routing Operation in Mobile Ad Hoc Network %A R.Kruthika %J American Journal of Engineering Research %D 2013 %I American Journal of Engineering Research %X The paper considers, the different multicasting routing protocols in wireless mobile Ad hoc network (MANET).An Ad hoc network is composed of mobile nodes without the presence of a wired support infrastructure .In this environment routing/multicasting protocols are faced with the challenge of producing multihop router under host mobility and band constraints. Various approaches and routing protocol have been proposed to address Ad hoc networking problems and multiple standardization effort within the Internet Engineering Task Force, along with academic and industrial research projects.In recent year, a number of new multicast protocols of different styles have been proposed for Ad hoc networks. Geocast Adaptive Mesh Environment for Routing [GAMER] is one which provides geocast communication in an Ad hoc network and it adapts to the correct network environment by dynamically changing the density of the mesh. Forwarding Group Multicast Protocol [FGMP] is based on the forward group concept and it dynamically refreshes the forward group member using a procedure to On-Demand routing.The relative strengths, weakness and applicability of each multicast protocol to diverse situations have considered and analyzed.
