Abstract
A technique for synchronization of mobile device information in a wireless communication network includes associatinga mobile device (MD) to a first access point (AP). A next step includes transmittinga roam notification message from the first AP to all APs in network. A next step includes associatingthe MD to a second AP. A next step includes establishingthat the first and second APs are roaming neighbors. A next step includes buildinga 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 determiningthat the MD is currently associated with an AP. A next step includes preemptively pushinginformation about the MD to those APs in the list of the determined AP for synchronization.
