Patent ID: 8400963

Claim:
A method for wireless communication, comprising: at a base station, providing access to a network to a preferred endpoint during a first communication session, where the first communication session is a wireless communication with the base station; at the base station, determining to treat the preferred endpoint as preferred, where a preferred endpoint is treated as preferred over other non-preferred endpoints for access to the network via the base station; at the base station, causing at least one parameter regarding the preferred endpoint used to establish the first communication session to be stored in response to determining to treat the preferred endpoint as preferred; at the base station, receiving a request for a second communication session after the first communication session has ended, where the second communication session is a wireless communication with the base station; at the base station, determining that the request for the second communication session was sent by the preferred endpoint; at the base station, retrieving the stored at least one parameter in response to determining that the preferred endpoint sent the request for the second communication session; at the base station, utilizing the retrieved at least one parameter to establish the second communication session with the preferred endpoint; and at the base station, providing access to the network to the preferred endpoint during the second communication session.
