Abstract
A persistent host identifier value is used during the automatic detection (e.g., enumeration) of a wireless peripheral device by a host computer system following a power-up or reset operation of the host. Use of the persistent host identifier may allow the rapid establishment of a communication channel between the host computer system and wireless peripheral device. Once a wireless peripheral device has been enumerated, an identifier value associated with the peripheral device may also be retained, and used, during subsequent enumeration and/or binding operations.
