networks. The references are as follows

The goal is to eliminate the handoff time of Layer3 and application layer if a MN enters into another
subnet. Assuming the following
1) Each mesh node has two interfaces and with multichannels.
2) All mesh nodes will be divided into M multicast groups.
3) Each multicast group will share one IP address which controls one subnet
