Abstract

In expanded service area of wireless mesh network to support mobility of the mobile station research is recognized as an important issue. The wireless body area networks promise to revolutionize health monitoring. Due to the mobile station move frequently to changing the path, data loss and network performance degradation are often occur, such as the service broken. In the existing research of support mobility, the layer 3 or mobility is required, but it may cause the backup server overhead. This paper is based the 802.11s, the proposed scheme supports station mobility without any additional elements by using layer 2.
