英文摘要：

In this paper,a cluster-based location management scheme is introduced,which has fully considered the characteristic of mesh structure and then utilizes the similarity of signaling transmission path of cells within a cluster to distribute the signaling based on the quasi-multicast fashion to improve location management efficiency within wireless mesh networks.The numerical result reveals that the proposed scheme has significantly lessened the signaling cost.
