In an embodiment of FIG. 15, the transmission detection, controlling, identification, and reporting system 1500 may also transmit the type, time, frequency of the wireless transmission facility of interest to a base station. The base station may then provide the system with the unique identifier of the detected transmission facility or the base station may detect a transmission facility at a specific frequency and the transmission detection, controlling, identification, and reporting system 1500 tunes to that frequency to determine the location and unique identifying information of the transmission device. The system 1500 may then compare the unique identifying information to a data base (not shown). The information and the parameters obtained from the data base may then be used to decide how to treat the transmission facility; what to do with the transmission facility depending on whether the transmission facility is considered friend or foe (i.e., allowed or disallowed).
In an embodiment of the transmission detection, controlling, identification, and reporting system 1500 where the transmission detection units includes a transmission decoding unit the system determines the location and the allowability of the transmission unit by comparing the transmission found with allowable or non-allowable transmission facility lists.
