Abstract
A method for managing a private wireless network includes a processor that generates the private wireless network within a part of a coverage area of a local wireless network, the local wireless network established as overlay to a part of an existing wireless network; detects wireless devices within the part of the coverage area; locks each of the detected wireless devices to the processor; establishes an identity of each locked wireless device; allows a first class of identified wireless devices access to the private wireless network; and denies a second class of identified wireless devices access to the private wireless network.
Claims19
A system for managing wireless communications, comprising:
- wireless communications hardware, comprising:
- one or more base stations,
- an amplifier connected to each of the one or more base stations,
- one or more radiofrequency distribution devices connected to the amplifier, and
- one or more antennas connected to each of the radiofrequency distribution devices;
- a controller connected to the wireless communications hardware;
- and
- a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium storing a program of machine instructions, wherein the controller executes the machine instructions to:
- generate a private wireless network within a part of a coverage area of a local wireless network,
- detect wireless devices within the coverage area,
- lock each of the detected wireless devices to the controller,
- establish an identity of each locked wireless device,
- allow a first class of identified wireless devices access to the private wireless network, and
- deny a second class of identified wireless devices access to the private wireless network.
A system that establishes a private wireless communications network as a section of an overlay to a part of an existing wireless network, the system comprising:
- wireless communications hardware comprising radiofrequency distribution equipment, an antenna, an amplifier, and a base station;
- and
- a controller connected to the base station, the controller, comprising:
- a processor, and
- a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium storing machine instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to generate and manage the private wireless communications network, comprising:
- computing a geographic boundary for the private wireless network, comprising x, y, and z coordinates, the boundary within a broadcast range of the wireless communications hardware;
- directing broadcast of attraction signals by the base station;
- receiving, through the base station, in response to an attraction signals, a registration request from a wireless device;
- locking the wireless device to the processor;
- identifying the locked wireless device as one of a known and an unknown wireless device;
- and
- accepting only known wireless devices for communication on the private wireless network.
A method for managing a private wireless network, comprising:
- a processor generates the private wireless network within a part of a coverage area of a local wireless network, the local wireless network established as overlay to a part of an existing wireless network;
- the processor detects wireless devices within the part of the coverage area;
- the processor locks each of the detected wireless devices to the processor;
- the establishes an identity of each locked wireless device;
- the processor allows a first class of identified wireless devices access to the private wireless network;
- and
- the processor denies a second class of identified wireless devices access to the private wireless network.
