Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a STA. The STA communicating with a first AP based on a key. The STA receives an identifier broadcasted from a second AP. The STA determines whether the key can be used with the second AP based on the received identifier. The STA selects the second AP upon determining the key can be used with the second AP. The STA requests a transfer of association context information from the first AP to the second AP. The key may be a PTK. The PTK may be a function of the identifier. The identifier may be a zone identifier identifying a set of APs that belong to a security domain in which the association context information of the STA can be transferred from one AP to another AP.
