    Use Bluetooth instead, it stays connected until you turn it off.

    And it's much easier on the battery

    There's probably a better way to do it, but this how I connect a bluetooth hotspot.

    First of all switch wifi off on your phone, turn bluetooth on. Open the personal hotspot and when you turn it on it'll ask if you want to use wifi. Press Bluetooth and usb. Keep your phone on on the hotspot menu and on your iPad go to the Bluetooth settings and find your phone. thats it really.
