Systems and methods for short-range wireless pairing and connectivity

1. A method comprising:

establishing, by a fixed wireless access (FWA) device in a customer premises equipment (CPE) network, a communication channel with a user device, wherein the FWA device connects the CPE network to a wireless station for accessing data networks;

dynamically generating, by the FWA device, a first one-time personal identification number (PIN);

sharing, by the FWA device, the first one-time PIN with the user device;

pairing, by the FWA device and based on activation of the first one-time PIN, the user device via a first short-range connection;

performing, by the FWA device using the first short-range connection and a control application executing on the user device, at least one of setup or installation procedures of one or more devices in the CPE network, wherein the first short-range connection is disabled upon a period of inactivity and without completion of the at least one of setup or installation procedures;

dynamically generating, by the FWA device responsive to the disabling, a second one-time PIN that differs from the first one-time PIN;

sharing, by the FWA device, the second one-time PIN with the user device;

pairing, by the FWA device and based on activation of the second one-time PIN, the user device via a second short-range connection; and

completing, by the FWA device using the second short-range connection and the control application, the at least one of setup or installation procedures for the one or more devices.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first short-range connection comprises at least one of a Bluetooth® connection, an Insteon® connection, an Infrared Data Association connection, a wireless universal serial bus connection, a Z-Wave® connection or a Zigbee connection.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the at least one of the setup or the installation procedures comprises determining a location, of the one or more devices, which meets a service level agreement associated with a service provided to the one or more devices.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein dynamically generating the first one-time PIN comprises generating a visual activation code.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein sharing the first one-time PIN comprises displaying the visual activation code via a display associated with the FWA device.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein activation of the first one-time PIN comprises scanning of the visual activation code by the user device.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein sharing of the first one-time PIN comprises transfer of the first one-time PIN via near field communication (NFC).

8. A network device comprising:

a communication interface;

a memory for storing instructions; and

a processor configured to execute the instructions to:

establish a communication channel with a user device;

dynamically generate a first one-time personal identification number (PIN);

share the first one-time PIN with the user device;

pair, based on activation of the first one-time PIN, with the user device via a first short-range connection;

perform, via the short-range connection and a control application executing on the user device, at least one of setup or installation procedures of one or more devices in a customer premises equipment (CPE) network, wherein the first short-range connection is disabled upon a period of inactivity and without completion of the at least one of setup or installation procedures;

dynamically generate, responsive to the disabling, a second one-time PIN that differs from the first one-time PIN;

share the second one-time PIN with the user device;

pair, based on activation of the second one-time PIN, the user device via a second short-range connection; and

complete, using the second short-range connection and the control application, the at least one of setup or installation procedures for the one or more devices.

9. The network device of claim 8 , wherein the first short-range connection comprises at least one of a Bluetooth® connection, an Insteon® connection, an Infrared Data Association connection, a wireless universal serial bus connection, a Z-Wave® connection or a Zigbee connection.

10. The network device of claim 8 , wherein to perform the at least one of the setup or the installation procedures the processor further executes the instructions to determine a location, of the one or more devices, which meets a service level agreement associated with a service provided to the one or more devices.

11. The network device of claim 8 , wherein to dynamically generate the first one-time PIN, the processor further executes the instructions to generate a visual activation code.

12. The network device of claim 11 , wherein to share the first one-time PIN, the processor further executes the instructions to display the visual activation code via the communication interface.

13. The network device of claim 12 , wherein activation of the first one-time PIN comprises scanning of the visual activation code by the user device.

14. The network device of claim 8 , wherein to share the first one-time PIN, the processor further executes the instructions to transfer the first one-time PIN via near field communication (NFC).

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor of a network device, cause the network device to:

establish a communication channel with a user device;

dynamically generate a first one-time personal identification number (PIN);

share the first one-time PIN with the user device;

pair, based on activation of the first one-time PIN, with the user device via a first short-range connection; and

perform, via the first short-range connection, at least one of setup or installation procedures of one or more devices in a customer premises equipment (CPE) network, wherein the first short-range connection is disabled upon a period of inactivity and without completion of the at least one of setup or installation procedures;

dynamically generate, responsive to the disabling, a second one-time PIN that differs from the first one-time PIN;

share the second one-time PIN with the user device;

pair, based on activation of the second one-time PIN, the user device via a second short-range connection; and

complete, using the second short-range connection and the control application, the at least one of setup or installation procedures for the one or more devices.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , further including instructions that, when executed by the processor cause the network device to:

determine a location, of the one or more devices, which meets a service level agreement associated with a service provided to the one or more devices.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein to dynamically generate the first one-time PIN, the instructions further cause the network device to generate a visual activation code.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein to share the first one-time PIN, the instructions further cause the network device to display the visual activation code via a display.
