代理資訊於IEEE 802.11s無線網狀網路之資料傳輸中扮演著非常重要的角色。正確的代理資訊可促進無線網狀網路訊框傳遞之效率。有鑒於IEEE 802.11s標準中僅定義代理協定之管理訊框格式，對於代理協定中有關代理資訊建置與維護之具體方法並未規範，因此在先前的研究中我們已提出一簡單有效之代理資訊建置與維護機制名為SimYES。由於SimYes之設計並未考慮無線工作站之移動管理，在本論文中我們乃將SimYES加以延伸並據以提出簡單、低成本、並可支援各種移動場景之代理資訊建置與維護機制。研究結果顯示，相較於其他方法，所提機制具低控制成本以及全面適用於各移動場景之優勢。

Proxy information plays a very important role on facilitating efficient frame transmission in IEEE 802.11s wireless mesh networks. While the mechanism for maintaining proxy information is beyond the scope of the standard, in our previous work, we have proposed a simple yet effective scheme, named SimYES, for the maintenance of proxy information in IEEE 802.11s wireless mesh networks. As the design of SimYes did not consider mobility management of mobile stations, in this paper, we propose mobility support extensions to SimYES. Numerical results show that, compared to existing methods, the proposed mechanisms achieve lower control overhead and provide comprehensive solution for a variety of mobile scenarios.
