    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11r-2008

    IEEE 802.11r-2008 or fast BSS transition (FT), is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard to permit continuous connectivity aboard wireless devices in motion, with fast and secure client transitions from one Basic Service Set (abbreviated BSS, and also known as a base station or more colloquially, an access point) to another performed in a nearly seamless manner.

  3. IEEE 802.11k-2008 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11k-2008

    IEEE 802.11k and 802.11r are industry standards that enable seamless Basic Service Set (BSS) transitions in the WLAN environment. The 802.11k standard provides information to discover the best available access point.

    Action frames extend management frames to control a certain action. Some of the action categories are QoS, Block Ack, Public, Radio Measurement, Fast BSS Transition, Mesh Peering Management, etc. These frames are sent by a station when it needs to tell its peer for a certain action to be taken.

    This notebook computer is connected to a wireless access point using a PC Card wireless card. An example of a Wi-Fi network. A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a wireless computer network that links two or more devices using wireless communication to form a local area network (LAN) within a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, campus, or office building.

  7. Beacon frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beacon_frame

    802.11 Beacon frame. A beacon frame is a type of management frame in IEEE 802.11 WLANs. It contains information about the network. Beacon frames are transmitted periodically; they serve to announce the presence of a wireless LAN and to provide a timing signal to synchronise communications with the devices using the network (the members of a service set).

  8. IEEE 802.11ai - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11ai

    IEEE 802.11ai is a Wireless LAN standard from IEEE that since June 2017 [1] provides fast initial link setup (FILS) methods that enable a wireless LAN client to achieve a secure link setup within 100ms, designed to improve dense environments. [1] FILS provides fast roaming without 802.11r. [2]

  9. Network switching subsystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switching_subsystem

    The mobile switching center server is a soft-switch variant (therefore it may be referred to as mobile soft switch, MSS) of the mobile switching center, which provides circuit-switched calling mobility management, and GSM services to the mobile phones roaming within the area that it serves. The functionality enables split control between ...
