1. A cellular apparatus, comprising:
- an antenna; and
control logic configured to monitor cellular signals detected by said antenna, said cellular signals transmitted from cellular devices and identifying said cellular devices, said control logic further configured to receive a request to transmit to a remote cellular device and to make a determination, in response to said request, as to whether said remote cellular device is identified by one of said cellular signals detected by said antenna, said control logic further configured to transmit a cellular signal based on said determination.

Abstract
A cellular communication apparatus utilizes an antenna and control logic. The control logic is configured to monitor cellular signals detected by the antenna. The cellular signals are transmitted from cellular devices and identify the cellular devices. The control logic is further configured to receive a request to transmit to a remote cellular device and to make a determination, in response to the request, as to whether the remote cellular device is identified by one of the cellular signals detected by the antenna. The control logic is further configured to transmit a cellular signal based on the determination.

16. A cellular transmission method, comprising the steps of:
-
monitoring cellular signals received by a cellular communication apparatus;
identifying a plurality of remote cellular communication devices based on said cellular signals monitored in said monitoring step;
detecting a transmission request at said cellular communication apparatus;
determining, in response to said detecting step, whether a remote cellular communication device identified by said transmission request has been identified in said identifying step; and
transmitting, based on said determining step, a cellular signal from said cellular communication apparatus to said remote cellular communication device identified by said transmission request. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
