Abstract

The IEEE802.16e supporting mobility on fixed Wireless-MAN is supposed to be a promising solution for mobile broad-band wireless access (BWA). By integrating HMIPv6 with IEEE802.16e the performance of the system can be enhanced greatly. The meshed topology in IEEE802.16 standard provides wide market coverage as well as low investments of the facility. In this paper, the cost and delay of traditional location management schemes in wireless Mesh networks are analyzed theoretically and compared with that of the typical cellular networks. The result shows that a more effective location management scheme which is suitable for WiMAX Mesh topology should be proposed so that it can better support the mobility and application of different services.
