Method for achieving re-association of handover in a wireless local area network mesh network

A method for achieving a re-association of handover in a wireless LAN(Local Area Network) mesh network is provided to minimize a service delay and an overhead due to a moving of a node, particularly a mesh point, of the wireless LAN mesh network. A method for achieving a re-association of handover in a wireless LAN mesh network includes the steps of: transmitting a mesh re-association request message for the re-association of the mesh network by including authentication request information(311,313); and receiving a re-association reply message including an authentication reply for the authentication request, corresponding to the mesh re-association request message and performing a re-association(315,317).
