Abstract
A method for monitoring use of a mobile hotspot function in a wireless device, comprising: storing a last access time for a client within a memory of the wireless device, the last access time being a time when the hotspot function last performed a network address translation for the client; determining whether a difference between a current time and the last access time exceeds a threshold; and, if the difference exceeds the threshold, generating an indication that the mobile hotspot function is not in use by the client.
