METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING RE-ASSOCIATION DUE TO HANDOVER IN A WLAN MESH NETWORK

摘要

A method and system for performing re-association in a WLAN mesh network are provided. A mobile node transmits authentication request information to an old node via a new node along with a mesh re-association request message for re-association of the mesh network. Upon receiving the mesh re-association request message, the old node performs re-association and authentication according to the mesh re-association request message, and transmits a mesh re-association reply message to the mobile node via the new node.
