Abstract: A method for restricting one or more wireless devices from engaging in wireless communication within a selected local geographic region. The method includes receiving an indication comprising at least identity information. Preferably, the indication is associated with a selected wireless device, which is associated with an undesirable wireless communication within the selected local geographic region. The method includes selecting one or more processes directed to restrict the selected wireless device from engaging in wireless communication and performing a prioritized access to a wireless medium using at least one of one or more sniffer devices, which are spatially disposed within a vicinity of the selected local geographic region. The method transmits one or more packets from the at least one of one or more sniffer devices. Preferably, the one or more packets are directed to perform said one or more processes to restrict the selected wireless device.

Abstract: A method for arbitrating use of wireless medium for transmission of wireless signals within a selected local geographic region. The selected local geographic region comprises a first set of a plurality of devices to be allowed to transmit wireless signals and a second set of one or more devices to be substantially restricted from transmitting wireless signals. The method includes providing identity information associated with the first set of wireless devices. The method includes transmitting over a wireless medium at least one packet for each of the wireless devices in the first set. The at least one packet for each of the wireless devices includes an identity information, including an address, associated with that wireless device. That wireless device is a recipient of the one packet on the wireless medium. The at least one packet also has a selected value in a duration field of at least the one packet.

Abstract: A method for disrupting undesirable wireless communication in wireless network is provided. The method includes providing one or more sniffer devices to monitor wireless communications in a wireless network and detecting a wireless connection established between an access point device and a client device using the one or more sniffer devices. Preferably, the wireless connection is configured for not being disconnected upon receiving a spoofed disconnection request transmitted from a wireless device other than the access point device and the client device. The method also includes disrupting the wireless connection established between the access point device and the client device by transmitting one or more spoofed connection requests from at least one of the one or more sniffer devices.
