Patent ID: 8626195

Claim:
A method, operable in a transceiving system, for capturing a transmission facility within a set area, said method comprising the steps of: receiving a reference signal from a base station; determining a distance to the base station based on a power of the received reference signal; determining an expected received power of the reference signal at said transmission facility, said transmission facility being at a known distance from said base station; transmitting: an interfering signal, the interfering signal being transmitted with sufficient power to interfere with communications between the reference signal and the transmission facility, said interfering signal causing said transmission facility to attempt to re-establish communications with the base station, and a simulated reference signal, the simulated reference signal having same characteristics as the reference signal at an expected received power at said transmission facility greater than the determined expected received power of the reference signal at the transmission facility; establishing communication with the transmission facility; and receiving transmission from the transmission facility within the set area.
