Abstract
A method (700), and apparatus (100-600) provide for the establishment of a wireless network connection between a remote unit (110) and a wireless network (130) through a communication unit (120) acting as a relay. In one embodiment an ad-hoc connection (101) is established between the remote unit (110) and the communication unit (120). An identifier (119) associated with the remote unit (110) is adopted by the communication unit (120) for the purpose of authenticating the establishment of a wireless network connection (102) with the wireless network (130), such that a session may be established between the remote unit (110) and the wireless network (130).
