The USB cable is required for pairing the controller. There is no way around this. That's how it works on PS3 too.

To add to this, in case anyone was wondering if some smart programming wizardry is all that's needed, the issue is that the controller firmware itself will only accept new paring information through USB. Its simply a limitation of how Sony decided to make the controller work, the same issue presents itself even on PC
