Abstract: A method and apparatus for re-associating a station (STA) to an access point (AP). The STA sends a re-association request to the AP to initiate a re-association process with the AP. The re-association request indicates that a handshake operation is to be bypassed during the re-association process. The STA receives a re-association response from the AP in response to the re-association request and, upon receiving the re-association response, enables data communications with the AP using a set of preexisting cryptographic keys. For example, the set of preexisting cryptographic keys may be negotiated with the AP during at least one of a prior association process or a prior re-association process.

Abstract translation: 一种用于将站（STA）重新关联到接入点（AP）的方法和装置。 STA向AP发送重新关联请求，以发起与AP的重新关联过程。 重新关联请求指示在重新关联过程期间绕过握手操作。 STA响应于重新关联请求从AP接收重新关联响应，并且在接收到重新关联响应时，使得能够使用一组预先存在的加密密钥与AP进行数据通信。 例如，在先前的关联过程或先前的重新关联过程中的至少一个中，可以与AP协商一组预先存在的加密密钥。
