In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a first access point within a wireless network. The first access point is configured to identify a communication device within a radio frequency (RF) range of the first access point. The first access point is also configured to request a session key associated with the communication device from a first network controller associated with the first access point in response to the communication device being identified. The first access point is further configured to receive the session key associated with the communication device from a second network controller associated with a second access point having an RF range partially overlapping the RF range of the first access point.

1. An apparatus, comprising: a first access point within a wireless network, the first access point configured to identify a communication device within a radio communications area of the first access point, the first access point configured to request a session key associated with the communication
1. An apparatus, comprising: a first access point within a wireless network, the first access point configured to identify a communication device within a radio communications area of the first access point, the first access point configured to request a session key associated with the communication device from a first network controller associated with the first access point in response to the communication device being identified, the first access point configured to receive the session key associated with the communication device from a second network controller associated with a second access point having a radio communications area partially overlapping the radio communications area of the first access point. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first access point is configured to receive the session key associated with the device from the second network controller via the first network controller. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first access point is configured to receive the session key associated with the communication device from the second network controller via the first network controller over a wired network connection. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first access point is an access point within a wireless local area network. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first access point is configured to identify the communication device by receiving a unique identifier from the device sent to the first access point in response to the first access point broadcasting an identifier packet. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first access point is configured to request the session key associated with the communication device within a time period within which the second access point connects the communication device to a network. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first access point is configured to request the session key associated with the device when the device is at a first location and connected by the second access point to a network, the first access point is configured to connect the communication device to the network when the device is at a second location. 8. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to cause a processor to: broadcast an identification packet within a radio communications area of a first access point of a network;receive, in response to the broadcast of the identification packet, a signal having a unique identifier of a device;request, in response to the signal, a session key associated with the device from a first network controller associated with the first access point; andreceive the session key from a second network controller via the first network controller, the second network controller associated with a second access point that connects the device to the network when the device is within a radio communications area of the second access point. 9.

The non-transitory processor-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the device is a first device, the signal is a first signal, the session key is a first session key, the non-transitory processor-readable medium further comprising code representing instructions to cause the processor to: receive, in response to broadcast of the identification packet, a second signal having a unique identifier of a second device; andretain a session key associated with the second device based on the second signal. 15. A system, comprising: a first network controller configured to manage a first access point within a network, the first network controller configured to maintain a session key for a device such that the first access point provides the device with connectivity to the network when the device is at a first location and a second location, the first location being within a radio communications area of the first access point but not a second access point; anda second network controller configured to manage the second access point within the network, the second network controller configured to request, from the first network controller, the session key for the device in response to the device moving from the first location to the second location within the radio communications area of the first access point, the second location being within a radio communications area of the second access point. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein the second access point is configured to send a broadcast signal to the device such that the device responds to the broadcast signal when the device is at the second location. 17. The system of claim 15, wherein the second access point is configured to provide the device with connectivity to the network when the device is at a third location such that the third location is within the radio communications area of the second access point but not within the radio communications area of the first access point such that connectivity to the network is maintained as the device moves from the first location to the third location. 18. The system of claim 15, wherein the second network controller is configured to receive the session key from the first network controller, the second network controller configured to cache the session key when the device is at the second location, the second network controller configured to activate the session key when the device is at a third location. 19. The system of claim 15, wherein the network is a wireless local area network. 20. The system of claim 15, wherein the second network controller is configured to request the session key from the first network controller in response to the second access point identifying the device within the radio communications area of the second access point.
