Abstract
A primary user device may receive a termination command from an over-the-air (OTA) platform of a wireless carrier network to terminate a short-range wireless communication link with a companion user device. The primary user device may terminate a short-range wireless communication with the companion user device in response to the termination command to trigger the companion user device to establish a cellular communication link with the wireless carrier network. The primary user device may initiate a countdown of a predetermined time period for the companion user device to receive an OTA update from the OTA platform via the cellular communication link. When the countdown indicates that the predetermined time period has elapsed, the primary user device may reestablish the short-range wireless communication link with the companion user device to trigger the companion user device to terminate the cellular communication link.
