Systems and methods for beacon detection infrastructures

A communication system, comprising:

• an earth station configured to receive a downlink transmission from a satellite and transmit an uplink transmission to the satellite;
• a server in operable communication with the earth station, wherein the server is configured to implement (i) a measurement-based protection scheme with respect to at least one of the downlink transmission and the uplink transmission, and (ii) a protection zone layering scheme about the earth station;
• a beacon infrastructure having a plurality of beacon transmitters and a plurality of beacon detectors in operable communication with the server;
• an access point in proximity to at least one beacon transmitter of the plurality of beacon transmitters, and configured to operate within a first protection zone layer of the protection zone layering scheme;
• a first user equipment within the first protection zone and configured to transmit, according to instructions from the server, at a first power level;
• and
• a second user equipment outside of the first protection zone and configured to transmit, according to instructions from the server, at a second power level different from the first power level.
