Abstract
A method of wireless link (316) reestablishment between a remote device (302, 402) and a client device (304, 404) in a wireless personal area network (102, 202) includes establishing a wireless link (316) between remote device (302, 402) and client device (304, 404) where client device (304, 404) maintains connection data (318). The wireless link (316) is subsequently terminated. Client device (304, 404) determines the type of termination by differentiating between a link loss termination and a non-link loss termination. If loss is due to a link loss termination, client device (304, 404) reestablishes the wireless link (316) to remote device (302, 402) utilizing connection data (318).
