Hi everyone,
Today, I want to introduce you 802.11r fast roaming.
The 802.11r protocol uses the Fast BSS Transition (FT) function to reduce the number of information exchanges between users in the same mobile domain (MD) and does not require 802.1x authentication or key negotiation during STA roaming. Users are unaware of service interruption and experience low-latency data services during roaming, so their online experience is improved.
802.11r fast roaming supports the following two modes:
Over-the-Air: STAs communicate directly with the FAP for FT authentication.
Over-the-DS: STAs communicate with an AP for FT authentication through the HAP.
I hope it is of help to you! Thank you!
