Abstract:
A method for associating and authenticating a station (STA) with a coordinated access point (AP) group may include generating a pairwise master key (PMK) between the STA and a coordinator of the coordinated AP group, and maintaining an association and authentication state between the STA and the coordinated AP group based on the PMK. The method may further include generating one or more temporal keys between the STA and the coordinator based on the PMK. The method may further include distributing the PMK from the coordinator to a first member AP and a second member AP of the coordinated AP group. The method may further include generating a first temporal key between the STA and the first member AP, and generating a second temporal key between the STA and the second member AP.
