Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for the automatic enforcement of wireless-enabled device usage policies within a predetermined environment. A wireless usage policy manager enforces predetermined usage policies by automatically disabling or limiting the operation of wireless-enabled devices as they enter the predetermined boundaries of the wireless policy management environment. Information elements of existing wireless communications protocols are appended or extended and then communicated to subject wireless devices, and then implemented at the time of handover to limit their behavior. Similar information elements are communicated and implemented when the wireless-enabled devices exit the predetermined boundaries of the wireless policy management environment to automatically restore their prior operational state without user actions.
