Abstract
Techniques for wireless device roaming are disclosed. These techniques include identifying a wireless client entity for roaming from a first infrastructure entity to a second infrastructure entity. The techniques further include agreeing, between the client entity and the first infrastructure entity, on one or more roaming conditions defined using transition parameters for transition of a first data flow for the client entity from the first infrastructure entity to the second infrastructure entity, the one or more transition parameters including a sequence number relating to the dataflow. The techniques further include determining that a first condition defined in terms of a transition parameter of the agreed one or more roaming conditions is met, and, based on the determining, transitioning from providing the first dataflow from the first infrastructure entity to the client entity to providing the first data flow from the second infrastructure entity to the client entity.
