    Abstract: Systems and method for wireless roaming include operating, via a wireless communication device, a first communication link between the wireless communication device and a first access point using a first media access control (MAC) layer of the wireless communication device; initiating, using a second MAC layer of the wireless communication device, a roaming handover with a second access point while the first communication link remains configured for transmitting and receiving application and/or IP layer communication packets; ceasing transmission and reception of the application and/or IP layer communication packets via the first communication link after the roaming handover has been initiated; and resuming transmission and reception of the application and/or IP layer communication packets with a second communication link between the wireless communication device and the second access point upon completion of the roaming handover.
