Mobile communication system identity pairing

A method of connecting a mobile communication device to a wireless communication network comprising:

• detecting and intercepting, by an access point, a request from a mobile communication device to access a wireless communication network and establish a wireless communication session via long-range connection;
• communicatively coupling, by the access point, to the mobile communication device to establish a short-range connection between the mobile communication device and the access point;
• before the mobile communication device independently accesses the wireless communication network via the long-range connection, requesting, by the access point, indicia of the mobile communication from the mobile communication device;
• receiving, by the access point, the indicia from the mobile communication device;
• assuming, by the access point via use of the indicia, the identity of the mobile communication device such that the access point completes the establishment of the wireless communication session instead of the mobile communication device;
• storing, by the access point in a temporary memory of the access point, the indicia of the mobile communication device while the mobile communication device is communicatively coupled to the access point;
• presenting, by the access point, to the wireless communication network the assumed identity of the mobile communication device;
• communicatively coupling, by the access point, to the wireless communication network under the assumed identity of the mobile communication device such that the long-range connection is established between the access point and the wireless communication network instead of directly with the mobile communication device;
• enabling, by the access point, the mobile communication device to conduct and complete the wireless communication session that includes one or more of a voice communication, a web browser session, or a text message communication, wherein a content of the wireless communication session is one of received by the access point transceiver from the mobile communication device via the short-range connection and transmitted by the access point transceiver via the long-range connection to the wireless communication network or received by the access point transceiver from the wireless communication network via the long-range connection and transmitted by the access point transceiver via the short-range connection to the mobile communication device for presentation by the mobile communication device, and wherein the assumed identity of the mobile communication device is used by the access point to establish the long-range connection and the use of the assumed identity masks the existence of the access point from the wireless communication network;
• terminating, by the access point, the assumption of the identity of the mobile communication device upon termination of the wireless communication session;
• and
• deleting, by the access point, the stored indicia of the mobile communication device from the temporary memory of the access point when the mobile communication device is no longer proximate to the access point.
