Original Abstract Submitted
A user device connected to a wireless network maintains session persistence through a MAC address change of a user device. The user device establishes a multi-path communication session including a first subflow associated with a first MAC address for the user device. When the user device changes from the first MAC address to a second MAC address. the user device establishes a second subflow of the multi-path communication session. The second subflow is associated with the second MAC address. After establishing the second subflow associated with the second MAC address, the user device ends the first subflow associated with the first MAC address.
