A mesh network has a plurality of mesh nodes, including a moving mesh node. A serving mesh node initially associates with the moving mesh node at the request of the moving mesh node, transmits context information due to the initial association to at least one neighbor mesh node, and transmits information on the at least one neighbor mesh node to the moving mesh node. The at least one neighbor mesh node stores the context information received from the serving mesh node, and re-associates with the moving mesh node using the context information at the request of the moving mesh node.
