  Abstract

Wireless mesh networks have been studied as the next generation technology to solve problems of conventional wireless networks. Particularly, mobile WiMAX based wireless mesh networks are noticed due to many advantages. In this paper, we propose a layer-2 handover scheme for mobile WiMAX based wireless mesh networks. A layer-2 handover scheme based on mobile WiMAX causes many handover failures over mobile WiMAX based wireless mesh networks because it does not consider the characteristics of wireless mesh networks. The proposed scheme does not bring about packet losses achieving lower handover latency than a conventional handover scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves loss-free and low handover latency during the layer-2 handover.
