A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a complex distributed system with unpredictable node movements, which results in frequent node disconnectivity. In a MANET, each node works independently, using the resources based on individual need. The main problem with this arises during the movement of the nodes and random utilization of network resources. This work attempts to solve the mobility maintenance issues using three mesh structures; (i) mesh tree (M-T), (ii) mesh backbone (M-B) and (iii) mesh cluster (M-C). The mobility maintenance architectures are formed based on a localized connectivity analysis and the node degree as a key parameter for network construction. The performance of the proposed work is analysed through mathematical models and simulation results.
