Abstract
The subject matter discloses an apparatus, comprises a managed access unit for regulating wireless communication in a facility by providing communication services to devices located in the facility according to a predefined usage policy pertaining to devices transmitting from the facility; a wireless signal monitoring system for detecting wireless communication transmitted from devices in the facility; a bypass detector for comparing the data received from the wireless signal monitoring system with expected wireless signals based on the predefined usage policy and activity of the managed access unit to determine whether there is a bypass of the managed access unit.
Claims23
An apparatus for managing transmissions of wireless communication devices, comprising:
- a managed access unit for regulating wireless communication in a facility by providing communication services to devices located in the facility according to a predefined usage policy pertaining to devices transmitting from the facility, said managed access unit comprising a managed base station;
- a wireless signal monitoring system for detecting wireless communication signals transmitted from devices located within the facility;
- a bypass detector for comparing the wireless signals detected by the wireless signal monitoring system with expected wireless signals based on the predefined usage policy, to determine whether there is a bypass of the managed access unit, wherein said bypass includes a transmission of a wireless signal by a device in the facility to a non-managed base station;
- and,
- an alert generator configured to generate an alert when a bypass of the managed access unit is determined.
The apparatus of claim I. wherein the bypass detector receives a plurality of parameters associated with wireless signals transmitted from the facility from the wireless signal monitoring system and uses the plurality of parameters to determine bypass of the managed access unit.
