Abstract
A wireless network environment includes communication management hardware such as disposed in customer premises equipment. The communication management hardware detects a request communication from a mobile communication device, the request communication transmitted from the mobile communication device to a wireless base station. In response to detecting the request communication, the customer premises equipment monitors for reply communication from the wireless base station. The communication management hardware detects failure of the wireless base station to respond to the request communication. In response to detecting the failure, the communication management hardware operates in a relay mode to provide the mobile communication device connectivity with the wireless base station.
