Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. A station (STA) with a host processor and a radio processor may communicate with a first access point (AP) in a first subnet. The STA may store network information for the first subnet in memory of the STA. The STA may identify a second access point and determine, by the radio processor without communication with the host processor, whether the second access point is in the first subnet or a second subnet. The determination may be based at least in part on the network information stored in memory.

Inter-subnet and intra-subnet roaming

Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. In one method, a first node of an independent basic service set (IBSS) may receive a beacon from a second node of the IBSS. The beacon may include a token. Based at least in part on the token, the first node may determine that the second node has disconnected from and rejoined the IBSS. In another method, a token may be generated at a node. The token may indicate that the node has disconnected from and rejoined an IBSS. A beacon including the token may be transmitted to the IBSS responsive to the node rejoining the IBSS.
