METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THE OPERATION OF MOVABLE WIRELESS NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A movable wireless network comprising one or more wireless communication devices, the movable wireless network further comprising:
- a memory for storing other wireless network data including a coverage area of each of a plurality of other wireless networks and related network data; and
a controller that changes an operational state of the movable wireless network responsive to a network event so that the movable wireless network operates with another wireless network according to said other wireless network data stored in the memory, the changed operational state corresponding to one of a mobile country code or of a mobile network code and its associated mobile country code.

Abstract
The invention can provide a movable wireless network that is capable of operating in a multiple network environment. The movable wireless network has a coverage area and includes a detector that detects a network event when the coverage area of the movable wireless network overlaps with a coverage area of another wireless network. The invention can further include a controller that changes an operational state of the movable wireless network when the detector detects the network event so that the movable wireless network is able to operate within the coverage area of the other wireless network.

22. A method for withdrawing a movable wireless network comprising one or more wireless communication devices from a stationary wireless network, comprising:
-
storing position data including a coverage area and related network data of each of a plurality of stationary and moveable wireless networks in a memory of the movable wireless network and withdrawing the movable wireless network from at least one of said stationary wireless and movable networks upon detection of a network event of overlapping network coverage areas by changing an operational state of the movable wireless network such that said movable and said one of said stationary and other movable wireless network continue to operate separately from one another.

23. A movable wireless network, comprising:
-
a memory for storing other wireless network position data and related network data including operational state information of a plurality of other wireless networks currently being operated, said other wireless network position data comprising coverage area and physical position, said operational state information comprising frequencies and power of each said other wireless networks; and
a controller that changes an operational state of the movable wireless network based on a network event caused by proximity of the moveable wireless network to another wireless network having stored position data and related network data such that, when the network event occurs, the movable wireless network operates with the other wireless network according to the related network data stored in the memory, the operational state of said movable wireless network changing based on the related network data stored in the memory. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25)
