1. A method, comprising:
- obtaining information with a receiver in a mobile communications network, concerning one or more characteristics of one or more monitored radio frequency (RF) signals transmitted across a geographic area from a transmitter in the mobile communications network; and
detecting a presence of an object in the geographic area according to a variation of the one or more characteristics of one or more of the monitored RF signals, the variation caused by the object intersecting one or more of the monitored RF signals.

Abstract
A method, apparatus or tangible computer medium (which stores computer executable code or program code) performs or facilitates obtaining information concerning one or more characteristics of one or more monitored wireless signals or links, such as radio frequency (RF) signals, transmitted across a geographic area; and detecting a presence of an object in the geographic area according to a variation of a characteristic of one or more of the RF signals reflecting interference of the RF signal(s) by the object.
