System and method for detecting and controlling transmission devices
First Claim
1. A device for determining operation of each of a plurality of wireless transmission devices, said device comprising:
- a processor configured to;
receive, from at least one base station covering an area, information regarding each of said plurality of wireless transmission devices within said area;
establish a schedule based on a number of said plurality of wireless transmission devices, with respect to an interrogation signal, wherein each of the plurality of wireless transmission devices is assigned a response time window a known time after said interrogation signal;
provide said interrogation signal to each of said plurality of wireless transmission devices;
receive transmissions from each of the plurality of wireless transmission devices receiving said interrogation signal during a response time window assigned to a corresponding one of the plurality of wireless transmission devices;
determine an allowability of a corresponding one of the plurality of wireless transmission devices based at least on an identification of said corresponding one of said plurality of wireless transmission device, said allowability being one of authorized and unauthorized;
identify corresponding ones of said plurality of wireless transmission devices as being unauthorized; and
cause said corresponding ones of said wireless transmission devices identified as being unauthorized to be denied further communication.

Abstract
A method of detecting, controlling and managing transmission of a transmitting device within a facility is disclosed. The method involves transmitting information to the transmission device, detecting a response transmission from the transmission device by a least one transmission detection facility, extracting identification information associated with the transmission device in response to the transmitted information; and determining a location of the transmission device based on the response transmission received by the at least one received transmission detection facility, wherein the response transmissions are sorted by the identification information, determining an allowability of the located transmission device with the set area and interacting and manipulating transmission of the detected transmitting device.
