Abstract	Wireless mesh network (WMN) is recently emerged network having robustness. It supports clients to communicate with different types of networks, Internet etc which provides a better service to next generation. It consists of mesh routers and mesh clients. These mesh routers are minimal mobile and mesh clients are totally mobile. The protocols of ad hoc network are used in WMN. These protocols assume that every node is mobile. But as the mesh routers are minimal mobile or not mobile, the protocols brings overhead for the mesh routers. Our task is to relieve mesh routers using ad hoc network protocol from the overhead and define a better protocol which will fit in WMN efficiently. To do so, we've found that the existing architecture of WMN is needed to be changed slightly. We have proposed a new architecture for wireless mesh network. In our proposal WMN is relieved from overhead being caused by using ad hoc network protocol. Our architecture use unicasting technique in lieu of broadcasting technique for route discovery as well as route maintenance. We first describe the overview of WMN, its existing architecture. Later we will go to our proposed architecture.
