Systems and Methods for Detecting and Controlling Transmission Systems

Abstract

Disclosed is a system for managing wireless transmitting devices in which a wireless transmission from a transmission device is detected within or about a set area and an allowability of the transmission device to continue transmitting is based on an identification information, of the device, a location of the device and a number being called by the device.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A managed access system for managing wireless devices in a restricted area, wherein the restricted area is within a coverage area of a commercial carrier base station, the system comprising:
 a plurality of antennas; and   a transceiving system, in communication with at least one of said plurality of antennas, comprising:
 a transmitter; and 
 a receiver, said transceiving system configured to:
 provide, through said at least one antenna, line-of-sight signal detection coverage of a designated area within the restricted area, said designated area being located within a building; and 
 generate, through said at least one antenna, a signal at a power received within the designated area greater than a power of a signal generated by the commercial carrier received within the designated area. 
 
   
     
     
         2 . The managed access system of  claim 1 , wherein said transceiving system is attached to a mast arm attached to the building. 
     
     
         3 . The managed access system of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one antenna is aligned with at least one opening in said building.
