1. A server for a communication network including an operating cellular node of a mobile cell proximate a communication link of the server, the server comprising:
a processor in operable communication with the server; and
a memory device (i) in operable communication with the processor, and (ii) including computer-executable instructions stored therein, which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
(i) detect a wireless broadcast signal from the cellular node within a target frequency band, the wireless broadcast signal including at least one primary synchronization signal (PSS) receivable by a mobile communications device in communication with the cellular node;
(ii) determine, from the detected wireless broadcast signal, the presence of the at least one PSS; and
(iii) instruct the cellular node, based on the determined presence of the at least one PSS within the captured wireless broadcast signal, to (i) operate at full power, (ii) operate at a second power level lower than full power, or (iii) cease operation.
