    Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically initiating a long-range wireless connection between two or more communication devices is described herein. According to the present invention, an initiating communication device enters a connection request mode responsive to a connection request input. Once in the connection request mode, the initiating communication device searches for candidate communication devices operating in the connection request mode. Information is collected from the initiating and candidate communication devices. A long-range wireless connection is automatically initiated between the initiating communication device and one of the candidate communication devices based on the exchanged information. In one exemplary embodiment, a correlator compares discriminators associated with the connection request modes of the initiating and candidate communication devices to determine one or more correlation metrics.
