SIST-TS ETSI/TS 101 671 V2.11.1:2005 is the Slovenian version of ETSI TS 101 671 V2.11.1, published by SIST. It specifies the Handover Interface for Lawful Interception (LI), including how a Network Operator, Access Provider or Service Provider (NWO/AP/SvP) hands over administrative information, Intercept Related Information (IRI) and Content of Communication (CC) to Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs). The document is intended for LI implementations in telecommunication networks and services, with both generic rules and network-specific handling.
What does SIST-TS ETSI/TS 101 671 V2.11.1:2005 specify?
SIST-TS ETSI/TS 101 671 V2.11.1:2005 specifies the generic flow of LI information, the procedures and information elements used on the Handover Interface, and the network/service-specific protocols used to deliver LI data. Clause 1 sets the scope as step 3 of the ETSI LI approach, building on the LEA requirements in TS 101 331 and the network-function model in ES 201 158.
The document is organized into clauses 1 to 12, followed by annexes A to H. Clause 4 sets the general, legal and functional requirements; clauses 5 to 11 describe the three-port Handover Interface, identifiers, timing, quality and security; clause 12 points to quantitative aspects in ES 201 158.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex A | Circuit switched network handover |
| Annex B | Packet switched network handover |
| Annex C | HI2 delivery mechanisms and procedures |
| Annex D | Structure of data at the Handover Interface |
| Annex E | Use of sub-address and calling party number to carry correlation information |
| Annex F | GPRS HI3 Interface |
| Annex G | LEMF requirements for handling unrecognized fields and parameters |
| Annex H | Latest ASN.1 module versions |
What are the key requirements of SIST-TS ETSI/TS 101 671 V2.11.1:2005?
SIST-TS ETSI/TS 101 671 V2.11.1:2005 separates LI into three logical ports - HI1, HI2 and HI3 - so administrative control, signalling data and communication content are handled differently. That separation matters in practice because it reduces confusion between orders, metadata and content, and it keeps direct control of switching functions with the NWO/AP/SvP.
Handover is split into three logical ports
Clause 5 defines HI1 for administrative information, HI2 for IRI and HI3 for CC. HI1 can be manual or electronic, while HI2 and HI3 carry the operational LI data from the network side to the LEMF.
Clause 5 also states that the Handover Interface is extensible. In practice, this means the base model can be applied to different network technologies without redesigning the whole LI architecture.
HI1 carries the LI order and management information
Clause 7 says HI1 is used to send activation, deactivation and modification requests, together with the corresponding notifications. The LEA provides the target identity, the agreed LIID, the start and end or duration, the kind of interception required, the HI2 and HI3 destination addresses, other network-dependent parameters and an authorization reference.
This is the operational entry point for LI. In practice, the operator needs enough information to create the interception measure correctly and route the results to the right LEA destination.
Clause 7.2 requires LI notifications to the LEMF after activation, deactivation, modification and certain exceptional situations. That gives the LEA a trace of state changes and fault conditions.
HI2 carries IRI as soon as it is available
Clause 8 says HI2 transports IRI, including signalling information, timestamps and, where available, supplementary service and location information. The standard says the network should use only information already available in standard signalling procedures, which keeps implementation aligned with the underlying network behaviour.
Clause 8.1 allows ROSE or FTP for data delivery, with BER coding at the presentation layer. In practice, the implementer must choose a delivery method that matches the network and operational environment, and the LEMF must be able to decode the agreed encoding.
Clause 8.2 defines four IRI record types: IRI-BEGIN, IRI-END, IRI-CONTINUE and IRI-REPORT. BEGIN, END and CONTINUE track one communication attempt through setup, active and release phases, while REPORT is used for non-communication events such as subscriber-controlled actions or some unsuccessful attempts.
HI3 carries CC as a transparent copy
Clause 9 states that HI3 transports the CC of the intercepted service to the LEMF as a transparent en-clair copy of the communication flow. The standard describes HI3 separately in the relevant annexes because the exact form depends on the service and technology being intercepted.
Clause A.4 explains that a target call has two directions, so two communication channels to the LEMF are needed for stereo transmission. The network does not record or store the CC, which is important for implementers who need to deliver the content without creating an internal archive.
LI correlation depends on shared identifiers
Clause 6 introduces the LIID and the CID. The LIID is assigned by the authorized NWO/AP/SvP for each target identity and is used throughout HI2 and HI3. The CID distinguishes one activity from another and is used to correlate IRI records with CC connections.
Clause 6 says the CID is made up of the NID and optional CIN. In practice, this is what lets the mediation and delivery functions keep multiple activities for one target separated and matched correctly.
Annex A adds the CCLID for circuit switched networks, and Annex B defines a packet switched Correlation Number that is unique per PDP context. That technology-specific correlation is what allows IRI and CC to be matched in real network traffic.
Performance, quality and security are part of the design
Clause 10 says buffered IRI should stay buffered for as short a time as possible, and the quality of service for the result of interception should be at least equal to the QoS of the original CC. For implementers, that means interception data must not lag unnecessarily, and voice or data quality must remain usable.
Clause 11 lists the security properties of confidentiality, integrity, authentication and availability, and describes common mechanisms such as encryption, hashing and cryptographic authentication. This matters because LI transport may carry sensitive or evidential data.
Annexes give the technology-specific rules
Annex A covers circuit switched networks, including basic call information, supplementary services, CC links and access verification checks such as CLIP and COLP. Annex B covers packet switched networks and GPRS-specific correlation and delivery. Annex C gives the two HI2 delivery methods, ROSE and FTP, and Annex F adds a GPRS HI3 delivery model with a GPRS LI Correlation (GLIC) header and UDP/TCP or FTP/TCP delivery.
What terms does SIST-TS ETSI/TS 101 671 V2.11.1:2005 define?
- Lawful Interception IDentifier (LIID) - The identifier agreed between the LEA and the NWO/AP/SvP for a specific target identity, used for identification and correlation across the Handover Interfaces.
- Communication IDentifier (CID) - The identifier for one target activity, made up of the Network IDentifier (NID) and optional Communication Identity Number (CIN).
- Network IDentifier (NID) - The part of the CID that identifies the network side associated with the intercepted activity.
- Communication Identity Number (CIN) - The optional part of the CID that further distinguishes one communication from another for the same target.
- Intercept Related Information (IRI) - Information or data associated with communication services involving the target identity, including communication-related, service-related and location information.
- Content of Communication (CC) - The actual communication content delivered to the LEMF as a transparent copy.
- Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) - The authority that receives LI results under lawful authorization.
- NWO/AP/SvP - The network operator, access provider or service provider responsible for implementing the interception measure.
Who uses SIST-TS ETSI/TS 101 671 V2.11.1:2005?
SIST-TS ETSI/TS 101 671 V2.11.1:2005 is used by NWO/AP/SvP teams that design, implement and operate LI functions, especially mediation functions, delivery functions and network elements that generate IRI or CC. It is also used by LEA-facing operational teams that need to agree on identifiers, destination addresses, notification behaviour and delivery methods.
It is relevant for engineers working on circuit switched, packet switched and GPRS LI implementations, and for security or compliance teams that need the transport, correlation and security rules. It also helps integrators and equipment vendors because the annexes specify the ASN.1 structures and protocol handling expected by the interface.

1 Scope
The present document is step 3 of a three-step approach to describe a generic Handover Interface for the provision of
lawful interception from a Network Operator, an Access Provider or a Service Provider (NWO/AP/SvP) to the Law
Enforcement Agencies (LEAs). The provision of lawful interception is a requirement of national law, which is usually
mandatory for the operation of any telecommunication service.
Step 1 contains the requirements for lawful interception from a users (LEAs) point of view and is published in
TS 101 331 [1].
Step 2 describes the derived network functions and the general architecture (or functional model) and is published in
ES 201 158 [2].
The present document specifies:
• the generic flow of information as well as the procedures and information elements, which are applicable to
any future telecommunication network or service;
• the network/service specific protocols relating to the provision of lawful interception at the Handover
Interface, for the following networks/services:
- switched circuit; and
