A method ( 300 ) and an apparatus ( 800 ) for determining duration of authorized usage time period are disclosed. A wireless mobile communication device ( 112 ) receives ( 304 ) a signal, measures ( 306 ) signal strength of the signal, determines ( 308 ) the duration of authorized usage time period based upon the measured signal strength, and requests ( 310 ) registration for the duration of authorized usage time period. A method ( 900 ) and a system ( 1300 ) for registering a wireless mobile communication device ( 112 ) in a wireless local area network ( 102 ) for a variable duration based upon wireless signal strength information are also disclosed. The wireless local area network ( 102 ) receives ( 902 ) a signal ( 116 ) including a registration request and an identification of the wireless mobile communication device ( 112 ), measures ( 906 ) signal strength of the signal, registers ( 908 ) the identification of the source of the signal, determines ( 910 ) duration of the authorized usage time period based upon the signal strength, assigns ( 912 ) the duration of authorized usage time period to the identification of the source of the signal, and un-registers ( 914 ) the identification of the source of the signal from the registration upon expiration of the duration of authorized usage time period.
