Topic: 
------
An overview of Location-Aware Routing Protocols and Location-Aware Services in Ad Hoc Wireless Mobile Network



Major Goals:
------------

* Discuss different Location-Aware Routing Protocols used in manet.

	* Locating-aided routing
	* Gedir
	* Grid

* Discuss potential location-awareness services in manet

	* Navigation and direction-giving
	* Geographic Messaging
	* Geographic Advertising
	* Neighbor-and-service discovery
	* Source-position indentification 

Scope:
------

	"Networks composed of dynamically repositioning mobile hosts require loaction awareness to provide new geogprahic
services and to maximize routing efficiency and quality of services."

The scope to this paper to study "location-awareness in Ad hoc networks", its protocols and what types of geographical
servives it can provide us.
