Abstract: In one embodiment, a mobile system receives a group identifier for wireless access points associated with a pathway via which the mobile system is to travel. The mobile system receives, during travel of the mobile system along the pathway, beacons from a plurality of wireless access points. Each of the plurality of wireless access points indicates its group identifier in its beacon. The mobile system selects, based on the beacons, a particular access point from among the plurality of wireless access points for roaming, in part by giving preference to any access points in the plurality of wireless access points having a group identifier that matches the group identifier associated with the pathway. The mobile system wirelessly roams to the particular access point.
