1. A method for controlling communications in a macro wireless communications network (WCN), the macro WCN comprising a processor that controls operation of radio frequency (RF) equipment of the macro WCN, the method, comprising:
the processor determining locations of wireless devices within the macro WCN;
the processor identifying a wireless device within the macro WCN as one of an unknown wireless device, a known, restricted wireless device, and a known wireless device;
for the unknown wireless device, the processor controlling the RF equipment to lock the unknown wireless device to the processor to prevent wireless communication over the macro WCN, comprising:
determining the unknown wireless devices is within a restricted volume of the macro WCN, and
the processor maintaining the unknown wireless device locked to the processor;
for a known, restricted wireless device, the processor controlling the RF equipment to lock the known, restricted wireless device to the processor to prevent wireless communication over the macro WCN, comprising:
determining the known, restricted wireless device is within the restricted volume of the macro WCN, and
the processor maintaining the known, restricted wireless device locked to the processor; and
for a known wireless device, the processor allowing wireless communications over the macro WCN.
