[0022] In order to realize the fast switching of the mobile station, the best way is to be able to do no pre-authentication or re-authentication when reassociation. For RSN (Robust Security Network, robust security network) network, the best way is that the mobile station can continue to use the previous encryption material after reassociation, especially the master key, so that the new AP can share the master key of the old AP .
[0023] But for the mobile station, when reassociation from one AP to another AP, the encryption material related to the original AP may have been deleted, and the assumption of master key sharing on the network side cannot guarantee compatibility with the mobile station. The root cause is:
[0024] (1) An AP and its associated mobile stations form a BSS (Basic Service Set), identified by a BSS-ID, which is an IEEE 802 MAC address.
[0025] (2) The AP generally uses the BSS-ID to identify its corresponding wireless interface in implementation. Whe...
