Abstract: In this paper, we propose a mobility management scheme and a location service for spontaneous wireless mesh networks. Our mobility scheme builds upon separation between a persistent node identifier and its current address. We propose to use addresses coupled with geographical locations of nodes and maintain the mapping between identifiers and addresses in a distributed Virtual Home Region Multi-Hash Location Service. The paper presents the architecture for geographically based mobility and the design of the location scheme.
