CONTEXT ACQUISITION FOR SEAMLESS ROAMING

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250088914 titled 'CONTEXT ACQUISITION FOR SEAMLESS ROAMING

Original Abstract Submitted

this disclosure provides methods, components, devices, and systems that support context acquisition for seamless roaming. some aspects more specifically relate to segmenting a packet number (pn) space into subsets that are dynamically assigned to access points (aps) associated with a station (sta). in some implementations, a first wireless device (such as a sta) may communicate with a second wireless device (such as a serving ap) using a first subset of user data context parameters (such as a group or segment of pns) that correspond to a first index assigned to the second wireless device. if, for example, the first wireless device decides to roam to a third wireless device (such as a target ap), the first wireless device may transmit one or more packets to the third wireless device using a second subset of the user data context parameters assigned to the third wireless device.
