Patent ID: 8224233

Claim:
A system, comprising: at least one memory storing computer-executable instructions; at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory that facilitates execution of the computer-executable instructions to at least: scan, within a predetermined area, for a wireless resource, wherein the wireless resource comprises a control channel transmitted by a base station configured to serve a region external to the predetermined area; block, within the predetermined area, reception of a first instance of the control channel, wherein to block the reception, the at least one processor further facilitates the execution of the computer-executable instructions to at least: adjust a frequency of at least one blocking signal to overlap an identified frequency of the first instance of the control channel; and transmit the at least one blocking signal with a transmit power with a magnitude to block the first instance of the control channel; generate a second instance of the control channel based on the first instance of the control channel; forward the second instance of the control channel to an access point, wherein the access point has a unique location area code and is associated with a plurality of antennas, wherein the plurality of antennas facilitate communication of the second instance of the control channel in the predetermined area; and identify a location of a mobile device in the predetermined area that attempts to access the second instance of the control channel based on a location of a first antenna in the plurality of antennas via which the mobile device attempts to access the second instance of the control channel.
