Abstract :
It is known that multicasting is an efficient method of supporting group communication as it allows the transmission of packets to multiple destinations using fewer network resources. Thus, service providers are increasingly interested in supporting multicast communications over wireless networks and in particular over UMTS. Multicasting is a more efficient method of supporting group communication than unicasting or broadcasting, as it allows transmission and routing of packets to multiple destinations using fewer network resources. In this paper the three above mentioned methods of supporting group communication are analyzed in terms of their performance
