Hierarchical cellular networks with mobile routers were proposed in our previous work to migrate the hierarchical feature from stationary cellular networks into totally mobile wireless networks. In this paper we will briefly cover the basic idea of the proposed architecture and its channel planning issues. Then we will introduce a fault recovery protocol using backup routers. Simulation results will be presented for evaluation purposes. In addition, the steadystate performance of the recovery protocol will be analyzed with stochastic models.
