Although wireless technology now provides the bandwidth and higher speeds to meet, there is still a lack of improvement in delivery performance. Several studies have shown that IEEE 802.11 scan lag phase, under pre-802.11i. However, when using the IEEE 802.11i authentication, link-layer based on Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) can result in significant delays.
There are four ways to reduceAuthentication delay during handover in IEEE 802.11.
IEEE 802.1X authentication first
IEEE 802.11 defines how a wireless station can cause pre-authentication over the network while still connected to their current access point. It is assumed that if the station can control the visits in advance, is less change in transit, and reducing the handoff latency required.
