System for automatic configuration of a mobile communication system

A mobile communication system for use in a moving environment comprising:

• at least one receive antenna for receiving communication signals;
• processing circuitry for processing the received communication signals and repeating the signals for further transmission;
• at least one transmit antenna for transmitting the repeated signals;
• the processing circuitry configured for utilizing at least one configurable setting for controlling the operation of the mobile communication system, the configurable setting being adaptable for varying the operation of the mobile communication system;
• a plurality of selectable and defined configurations stored in a memory, the configurations each being associated with a plurality of configurable settings for controlling the operation of the processing circuitry of the mobile communication system;
• a plurality of defined cartographic boundaries stored in the memory, a respective plurality of configurable settings being associated with each respective cartographic boundary;
• the processing circuitry further operable for receiving at least one input regarding a current operating condition of the mobile communication system as it moves, wherein the at least one current operating condition input includes at least one input representing a current geographical location of the moving mobile communication system;
• the processing circuitry configured for evaluating the received operating condition inputs to determine if a current geographical location of the moving mobile communication system falls inside a specific cartographic boundary and further configured for selecting from the memory a specific associated plurality of configurable settings that are associated with the specific cartographic boundary and adapting the system to the associated plurality of configurable settings based upon the current operating conditions.
