Patent ID: 8346281

Claim:
A method for detecting a transmission facility within a set area comprising: detecting a transmission signal associated with said transmission facility by a least one transmission detection facility; receiving identification information associated with said transmission facility; matching said transmission facility with said detected transmission signal based on said received identification information; determining a location of said transmission facility based on reception of said transmission signal associated with said received identification information from of said at least one transmission detection facility, wherein said location is determined using a non-iterative algorithm utilizing information from at least four non-co-linear, non-co-planar sensors detecting said transmission signal, wherein the information is associated with a time of reception of the detected transmission signal at a corresponding one of said non-co-linear, non-co-planar sensors; and determining an allowability of said transmission facility to receive and transmit within at least one area within said set area based on said determined location and said identification information; and providing an indication of said allowability to at least one action facility, and responsive to said indication said at least one action facility operates to control transmission of said transmission facility.
