After the great deployment and success of the Wireless Local Area Networks based on access points, which communicate by using wired links, the wireless world saw the birth of new technologies like, Ad Hoc networks and Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN), which permit the flexibility, easy deployment and low cost. The first objective of these networks is to offer a seamless connectivity to mobile users. Nevertheless, wired mobility management protocols perform poorly with these new technologies. In fact, traditional protocols do not permit to have a realistic snap-shot of the network; moreover we need to propose new approaches to detect clients' movements. In this paper, we investigate mobility problems in WMN and propose a new efficient solution with high performances. Specifically, we present a new mobility management scheme for WMNs, 3-layer mobilIty management scheme. It utilizes some WMN's features and uses IP Prefix in mobility management to reduce the signaling cost as well as to shorten the handoff latency. Our analysis shows that significant benefits can be achieved from this scheme. We provide the following contributions. First, we talk about some routing protocols at layer 3. After that we propose a 3- layer mobility management scheme in order to reduce the signaling cost and shorten the handoff latency. We focus on our experiment in using IP Prefix in detecting client movement.
