Abstract
The antenna enclosure includes a control bus that is capable of detecting the installation of a new antenna module. When a new antenna module is discovered by the control bus, a communication policy and a data set is determined for the new antenna module. The data set indicates an internal set of internal antenna modules previously detected in the antenna enclosure, an external set of external antenna modules previously detected in other antenna enclosures and geographic locations of the antenna enclosure and the other antenna enclosures. The antenna enclosure is configured to receive and process module-to-module communications from among antenna modules. Module-to-module communications are filtered based on the communication policy.
