The present document provides details of the internal and external interfaces required for a network operator, access provider and/or service provider to provide the necessary information to a Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) required to meet LI requirements. LI requirements for 3GPP networks and services are given in TS 33.126.
The high-level architecture that defines the necessary interfaces is specified in TS 33.127. The generic high-level interception architecture is as follows:
This clause lists the internal interfaces shown in clause 4.1, indicates the protocol used to realise each interface, and gives a reference to the relevant clauses of the present document that specify how the protocol is to be used for the given interface.
This clause lists the external handover interfaces shown in clause 4.1, indicates the protocol used to realise each interface, and gives a reference to the relevant clauses of the present document that specify how the protocol is to be used for the given interface.
When multiple service types are applicable to a target, the MDF2/MDF3 shall be able to deliver interception product for each CSP service type independently to different destinations when required.
When no service type is provisioned, the POIs shall generate and deliver applicable interception product for all services specified for the NF where the POI is located.
When no service type is provisioned, the MDF2/MDF3 shall deliver all interception product it receives from the POIs.
The LIPF shall be able to provision the POI, TF and the MDF2/MDF3 according the delivery type(s) applicable to a warrant.
When different delivery types are applicable to a target due to multiple warrants, the MDF2/MDF3 shall be able to deliver IRI/CC to each LEMF based on the delivery type(s) of the respective warrant.
The LIPF shall be able to provision the POIs and MDF2 according to the requirements of the warrant with the following location reporting types:
Report location only at the beginning and end of a session.
Do not report location.
When no location reporting type is provisioned, the POIs and MDF2/MDF3 shall report location every time the target location information is received at the POI (including location update with no physical change of location).
When different location reporting types are applicable to a target due to multiple warrants, then POI may be provisioned as if the reporting of all location information occurrences at the POI is required, with MDF2 restricting the delivery of location to the LEMF as per the provisioned information for a warrant.
This option is used to activate the LALS triggered location service (clause 7.3.3.3 of TS 33.127) for the target.
The LIPF shall be able to provision the LTF associated with a POI or MDF2 with the LALS triggered location service parameters provided in the warrant or use a default set of parameters.
