1. A method for routing communications to a plurality of mobile nodes in a wireless mesh network, comprising:

  • querying, by a mesh access point corresponding to a source mobile node, in a location query server for a mesh access point corresponding to a destination mobile node; and

    performing, by the mesh access point corresponding to the source mobile node, routing according to a network topology structure of the wireless mesh network, if the source mobile node needs to transmit data,wherein the location query server is one of the mesh access points and stores the corresponding relations between all of the mobile nodes and the mesh access points serving the mobile nodes in the wireless mesh network to form a location table, andwherein querying, by a mesh access point corresponding to a source mobile node in a location query server for a mesh access point corresponding to a destination mobile node comprises;

    if the mesh access point corresponding to a source mobile node finds that the MAC address of the destination mobile node is not within its access range, the mesh access point corresponding to a source mobile node performs a query in the location query server for the mesh access point corresponding to a destination mobile node;

    wherein the mesh access point corresponding to a source mobile node stores the MAC address of the mesh access point serving as the location query server.
