  • Abstract
    In this paper, a new handover technique for OFDM-based mobile mesh networks (MMNs) is proposed to reduce the handover overhead by distinguishing an inter-cluster handover event from an intra-cluster handover event using a hierarchical design concept of a preamble. The proposed handover procedure can simplify scanning procedure and skip/simplify network entry procedure, resulting in a significant reduction of handover overhead.
