Abstract:

Provided is a method for determining access permission for a beamforming computing device communicating with a beamforming transceiver. The method includes obtaining, at a central control system, location information from an inter-zone sensor, wherein the inter-zone sensor is configured to monitor and determine a location for the beamforming computing device as the beamforming computing device nears a boundary between a first access zone and a second access zone; accessing, by a storage device of the central control system, a rule to determine whether the beamforming computing device is permitted to operate in the second access zone; determining whether the beamforming computing device is permitted to operate in the second access zone based on the rule; and executing, by a rules engine of the central control system, a first command to the inter-zone sensor to instruct a beamforming transceiver in the second zone to initiate communication with the beamforming computing device.
