1. A base station, comprising:
a processor;
a memory coupled to the processor;
a base station access radio coupled to the processor;
a user equipment module, coupled to the processor, for providing a backhaul link for the base station; and
a sniffer circuit coupled to the processor, wherein the sniffer circuit further comprises:
a PHY processing layer for receiving in-phase and quadrature samples from a radio receive chain;
at least two radio access technology (RAT)-specific layer 1/physical layer (L1/PHY) processing modules supporting at least two of 2G, 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, WiMax, or 5G radio access technologies, for receiving the in-phase and quadrature samples from the PHY processing layer and for performing RAT-specific processing on the received samples; and
wherein the base station is a mobile base station providing access in a moving vehicle, the base station being configured to detect nearby radio frequency sources using the sniffer circuit, the base station being configured to turn itself on and off to avoid interference with other base stations in proximity of the vehicle and wherein the sniffer circuit is turned off or on based on a vehicle ignition status.
