1. A method for detecting a transmission device within a set area, said method operable in a processor, causing said processor to execute steps comprising:

  • transmitting a signal at a desired power level;

    detecting a transmission signal associated with said transmission device by at least one transmission detection facility;

    determining a location of said-transmission device based on said detection of said transmission signal by said at least one transmission detection facility;

    determining an allowability of said transmission device to receive and transmit signals within at least one area within said set area based on said determined location;

    based on the determined allowability performing one of;

    reducing said desired power level to a second known level when said allowability is indicated to be allowed, the reduced desired power enabling the transmission device to connect, and remain connected, to a base station controlling the set area, anddirecting said transmission device to a hold channel to deny service to said transmission device when said allowability is indicated to not be allowed; and

    displaying information associated with the transmission device, said information providing an indication of the determined allowability.
