Radio frequency barrier in a wireless communication network
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for a secure radio frequency barrier for a space within a structure in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
- defining a radio frequency barrier for protecting a space within the wireless communication network, the barrier including a set of directional antennas built into at least walls of the structure; and
disrupting, by the antennas within the walls, all radio frequency communications impinging on the walls by transmitting interfering radio frequency signals directed substantially parallel to a surface of the walls to interfere with the impinging radio frequency communications, wherein the disrupting includes preventing radio signals within the space from leaking outside the space and radio signals outside the space are prevented from gaining access inside the space.

Abstract
A method and system for a radio frequency barrier in a wireless communication network include a barrier defined for protecting a space within the wireless communication network. A plurality of antennas is located along the barrier. A radio provides radio frequency signals to transmit from the antennas to interfere with radio frequency communications impinging on the barrier. The interfering radio frequency signals can provide same channel and adjacent channel interference.

9. A system for providing a secure radio frequency barrier for a space within a structure in a wireless communication network, the system comprising:
-
a radio frequency barrier built into at least walls of the structure and defined for protecting a space within the wireless communication network; at least one radio operable to provide interfering radio frequency signals for interfering with any radio frequency communications impinging on the walls; a plurality of directional antennas coupled to the at least one radio and being located within the walls, the antennas operable to transmit the interfering radio frequency signals from the at least one radio directed substantially parallel to a surface of the walls to interfere, within the walls, with the radio frequency communications impinging on the walls such that radio signals within the space are prevented from leaking outside the space and radio signals outside the space are prevented from gaining access inside the space. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
