Intelligent network access control system
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented two-way access control method for discriminating among wireless devices in a wireless communications network, comprising:
- establishing, using an intelligent network access controller, a targeted coverage area overlaying a portion of the wireless communications network;
determining a location of the wireless devices relative to the targeted coverage area;
compelling the wireless devices to initially register with the intelligent network access controller when the wireless devices are located in or near the targeted coverage area;
determining an access category for each of the wireless devices;
preventing two-way wireless communications access for a first category wireless device; and
allowing unlimited two-way wireless communications access for a second category wireless device, wherein the intelligent network access controller directs the second category wireless device to register with the wireless communications network.

Abstract
A method for controlling wireless communication access by wireless devices to wireless communications networks includes establishing, using an intelligent network access controller, one or more targeted coverage areas overlaying portions of a wireless communications network; determining a location of a wireless device relative to a targeted coverage area; locking the wireless device to the intelligent network access controller when the wireless device is located in or near the targeted coverage area; determining an access category for the wireless device; preventing wireless communication access for a first category of wireless devices by maintaining the first category wireless devices locked to the intelligent network access controller; and allowing unlimited wireless communications for a second category of wireless devices, wherein the intelligent network access controller directs the second category wireless devices to attempt registration with the wireless communications.

10. A method implemented through an intelligent network access controller for two-way access control to a wireless communications network, comprising:
-
the intelligent network access controller establishing a targeted coverage area overlaying a portion of the wireless communications network; the intelligent network access controller directing the broadcast of a signal that compels a wireless device within the targeted coverage area to register with the intelligent network access controller; the intelligent network access controller assigning the wireless device to a channel of the intelligent network access controller thereby preventing access of the wireless device to the wireless communications network; the intelligent network access controller determining an access category for the wireless device is one of a first category and a second category; and the intelligent network access controller detecting a communication attempt from the wireless device to the wireless communications network, wherein; when the wireless device is a first category wireless device, the intelligent network access controller allows the first category wireless device to tune to the wireless communications network, and when the wireless device is a second category wireless device, the intelligent network access controller maintains the second category wireless device on the assigned channel of the intelligent network access controller. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system for two-way communications access control in a wireless communications network, comprising:
-
a processor; and a computer-readable storage medium having encoded thereon a program of instructions for controlling two-way wireless communications that when executed, cause the processor to; establish a targeted coverage area overlaying a portion of the wireless communications network; determine a location of the wireless devices relative to the targeted coverage area; compel the wireless devices to initially register with the system when the wireless devices are located in or near the targeted coverage area; determine an access category for each of the wireless devices; prevent two-way wireless communications access for a first category wireless device; and allow unlimited two-way wireless communications access for a second category wireless device, wherein the processor directs the second category wireless device to register with the wireless communications network. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
