SYNCHRONIZATION OF MOBILE DEVICE INFORMATION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

A technique for synchronization of mobile device information in a wireless communication network includes associating 300 a mobile device (MD) to a first access point (AP). A next step includes transmitting 302 a roam notification message from the first AP to all APs in network. A next step includes associating 304 the MD to a second AP. A next step includes establishing 306 that the first and second APs are roaming neighbors. A next step includes building 308 a roaming neighbor list in the associated first and second APs for the MD, wherein the list includes those neighboring APs where the MD has been associated. A next step includes determining 310 that the MD is currently associated with an AP. A next step includes preemptively pushing 312 information about the MD to those APs in the list of the determined AP for synchronization.
