Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 12:
13. A system for controlling access to wireless communications, comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) front end, comprising:
an RF antenna,
RF distribution equipment, and
an RF amplifier, the RF front end receiving first transmissions from wireless devices in a vicinity of the RF front end;

a base station coupled to the RF front end, the base station receiving signals data from the received transmissions; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising machine instructions and a processor, wherein the processor executes the machine instructions to:
control the RF front end to generate an overlay to a portion of an existing wireless network, the portion comprising a defined geographical area having an area boundary as the overlay;
receive an indication of wireless devices within the area, the indication including positions of the wireless devices within the area;
establish identities for the wireless devices having indicated positions within the area boundary, the identities selected from a group consisting of allowed, unknown, and restricted based on established identities and indicated positions for the wireless devices within the area boundary;
generate a private network encompassing the area boundary;
for wireless devices having established identities of one of unknown and restricted, lock and maintain locked the unknown and restricted wireless devices, while within the area boundary, to the processor, wherein the locking prevents wireless communication access by the unknown and restricted wireless devices to the private network; and
direct allowed wireless devices within the area boundary to access the private network for wireless communications within the area boundary.
