Abstract
A method and system for determining whether to allow a base station to carry out at least one particular base station function and for configuring the system, based on the determination, to allow the base station to carry out the at least one particular base station function or to prevent the base station from carrying out the at least one particular base station function. The determination may be carried out at the base station or at a base station controller (BSC). The determination may be based, at least in part, on whether data provided to the BSC from the base station comprises spoofed GPS data. Configuring the system may include setting at the base station or at the BSC at least one parameter to either allow the base station to carry out the base station function(s) or to prevent the base station from carrying out the base station function(s).
