Introduction
The objective of the present document is to form the basis for a standardized handover interface for use by both
telecommunications service providers and network operators, including Internet Service Providers that will deliver the
interception information required by Law Enforcement Authorities under various European treaties and national
regulations.
The present document describes how to handover intercepted information via IP-based networks from a CSP to an
LEMF. The present document covers the transportation of traffic, but does not specify functionality within CSPs or
LEMF (see clause 4.1). The present document handles the transportation of intercepted Content of Communication
(CC), Intercept-Related Information (IRI), Transport Related Information (TRI) and HI1 notification information. The
tasking and management of Lawful Interception via the HI1 interface is outside the scope of the present document.
The present document is intended to be general enough to be used in a variety of situations: it is not focused on a
particular IP-based service. The present document therefore provides information that is not dependent on the type of
service being intercepted. In particular the present document describes delivery mechanisms (clause 6), and the
structure and header details (clause 5) for both HI2 and HI3 information.
References within the main body of the present document are made if applicable to the 3GPP specification number with
in square brackets the reference number as listed in clause 2. In clause 2 "References" the corresponding ETSI
specification number is indicated with a reference to the 3GPP specification number. 3GPP specifications are available
faster than the equivalent ETSI specifications.
