A strategy for mesh client mobility support in wireless mesh networks.

Mesh Client (MC) may be frequently move from the current SMAP to another SMAP in the Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN). The most of the present research papers on WMN assume that the MC is static or quasi static. However, MC may constantly move actually, which connection interruption and packet loss may occur. To solve these problems this paper presents a mobility support strategy for WMN, which consists of two parts: address assignment and mobility management. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
