Abstract
Embodiments include methods performed by a network node in a wireless communication network. The node is part of a first BSS that is one of a plurality of BSS in a Mobility Domain (MD) that supports a Fast BSS Transition procedure. Such methods include transmitting one or more Fast Initial Link Setup Discovery (FD) frames. Each FD frame includes an identifier of the first MD, which enables receiving devices to determine, without receiving any non-FD frames from the network node, whether to associate with the network node via the Fast BSS Transition procedure. Such methods include associating with a first device through the Fast BSS procedure, wherein the first wireless communication device was previously associated with one of the BSS in the MD. Other embodiments include complementary methods performed by devices, as well as network nodes and devices configured to perform such methods.
