SMALL CELL SERVICE DELIVERY PLATFORM USAGE COMPLIANCE
First Claim
1. A method executed by a cellular monitoring system for managing cellular usage in a controlled area, the method comprising:
- identify a cellular device within signal range of one or more small cells placed in a controlled area, wherein a size of the controlled area is configurable by varying the signal strengths associated with the one or more small cells;
determining whether the cellular device is an authorized device within the controlled area; and
alerting security personnel in response to determination that the cellular device is not an authorized device within the controlled area.
