Gestion avance?e de la mobilite? dans les re?seaux maille?s sans fil
· 2008
Abstract
Despite considerable efforts, mobility management in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) remains an open issue. Several high performance solutions can be found in the literature, however, they all have the same requirement that refrains them from being widely adopted: they need either modifications or additional modules into the protocol stack of users’ equipment. In this paper, we investigate the mobility problem in WMNs and propose a new efficient solution named Enhanced Mobility Management (EMM), which does not rely on any modification or additional software on the client side, thus being totally transparent for end-users. EMM takes advantage of the existing Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) cache to keep a track of the last client association and uses this information to trigger an update in order to re-route packets. The measurements we performed show how EMM is able to greatly improve performances.
