COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM CONFIGURED TO CORRECT AN ASSOCIATION MISMATCH AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

A communications system (10) includes a service provider device (12), a mobile wireless communications device (20), and a plurality of communication infrastructure nodes (14a...14n). The plurality of communication infrastructure nodes are configured to generate an association mismatch (15a) communications path between the service provider device and the mobile wireless communications device, the association mismatch communications path including at least two communication infrastructure nodes (14a, 14b) in series. The plurality of communications infrastructure nodes are also configured to generate a corrected association communications path (15b) between the service provider device and the mobile wireless communications device from the mismatch communications path, the corrected association communications path including just a single communication infrastructure node (14a) from the at least two communication infrastructure nodes.
