Abstract
In a wireless communication system, a first wireless device transfers an authorization request to an authorization server, and the authorization server authorizes the first wireless device to access a wireless communication network under a user service account. The first wireless device and the server store data indicating the first device identifier and an event time for a communication event that occurs for the first wireless device. The wireless device transfers data indicating a first device identifier and the event time to a second wireless device. The second wireless device transfers an authorization request to the authorization server that indicates a second device identifier, the first device identifier, and the event time. The authorization server determines that the event times match, and in response, authorizes the second wireless device to access the wireless communication network under the user service account.
