GPS-based addressing and routing

In the near future GPS will be widely used, thus allowing a broad variety of location dependent services such as direction giving, navigation, etc. In this document we propose a family of protocols and addressing methods to integrate GPS into the Internet Protocol to enable the creation of location dependent services. The solutions which we present are flexible (scalable) in terms of the target accuracy of the GPS. The main challenge is to integrate the concept of physical location into the current design of the Internet which relies on logical addressing. Two solutions are presented in this draft and a third solution is sketched.Technical report lcsr-tr-26
