Abstract: A method comprises receiving, from a sensor, data indicative of an object (e.g. a location of the object) within a coverage area of an access point’s (AP) transmitter; Determining, from the data, that the object is an illegitimate user (e.g. a UAV) and causing a modification of the AP such that the object cannot successfully receive a transmission from the first transmitter. The modification may include reducing the transmission signal strength at the object’s location to below a signal strength threshold representing a minimum signal strength required to successfully receive the transmission. The modification may include implementing an encryption technique or switching to a more secure encryption technique for the transmission. The AP may continue to serve a legitimate UE and the modification may be such that value of the signal strength of the first transmitter at the legitimate UE’s location is above the threshold for successfully receiving the transmission (e.g. by changing the shape angle of the transmitter beam).
