check at each level if the node exist or not and traverse completely.

private boolean sameStructure(TreeNode ref, TreeNode otherRef) 
{
    if (otherRef == null && ref != null)
        return false;
    if (otherRef != null && ref == null)
        return false;
    if (otherRef == null && ref == null)
        return true;

    return sameStructureHelp(ref.left, otherRef.left) && 
           sameStructureHelp(ref.right, otherRef.right);
}
