Abstract
A wireless communication device, system and method. The device comprises a memory and processing circuitry coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry has logic to cause transmission of a first frame to a wireless access point (AP), the first frame including information regarding a location of the device, the information regarding a location of the device including information regarding a current location of the device or information regarding a target location to result from movement of the device. The processing circuitry is further to process a second frame from the AP, the second frame including a list of one or more roaming candidate APs, wherein the list is based on the information regarding the location of the device in the first frame. The processing circuitry is further to cause scanning of one or more channels corresponding to the one or more roaming candidate APs in response to the second frame, and transition to one of the one or more roaming candidate APs after causing scanning.
