Methods and systems are described for generating and utilizing a pattern of association. The pattern of association can comprise information that indicates to which of a plurality of network devices one or more mobile devices are likely to connect. The pattern of association can comprise information that indicates an order of association. The pattern of association can be associated with one or more factors which can be any information that provides insight into the pattern of association. The pattern of association can be used to identify a next network device that a mobile device will transition to, based on which network device the mobile device is currently connected to. Data, such as authentication information, can be pushed to the identified next network device to reduce network connectivity issues that may occur by transitioning between network devices.
