The 06132v203_C01__ASN1.asn file is contained in archive en_301040v020101p0.zip which accompanies the present

This update to the present document has been prepared to address the following issues:

• Removal of hanging paragraphs from introduction of each clause (compliance with ETSI drafting rules).

In addition every effort has been made to make the terminology consistent with other interception domain

The present document describes the data content of a Lawful Interception interface in a TETRA system. It provides the

requirements and specification of the interface within a TETRA system for the purpose of providing data to Law

Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) in the area of Lawful Interception (LI) of communications.

The present document describes the internal LI interface of a TETRA network, and does not specify the means by

which data is delivered to the LEA or to its designated Law Enforcement Monitoring Facility (LEMF). However the

internal LI interface is defined in such a way that data may be carried transparently on most networks.

NOTE 1: In this context "internal" means within the boundary of the TETRA infrastructure. The boundary may

extend in such a manner that the TETRA LI function is remote from other components of the SwMI, or it

The general reference model of figure 1 shows that the overall LI interface lies between the LEMF and the TETRA

infrastructure (SwMI) and is composed of both the Handover Interface (described in ES 201 671 [8] and/or

TS 102 232 [11]) and the internal interception interface. The subject of the present document is the internal LI interface

The provision of a Lawful Interception interface for TETRA is a national option, however where it is provided it shall

The Handover Interface may be the subject of national regulation and therefore the mediation function may be a matter

The present document describes the data content of the information flows of the intercepted activity from the TETRA

system using ASN.1 but without respect to the encoding rules which are determined by the handover interface adopted.

The present document applies to TETRA services where access to the communication of TETRA Subscriber Identities

(TSIs) is available in a network (Switching and Management Infrastructure (SwMI) or Radio Packet Data Infrastructure

(RPDI)). Whilst this does not prohibit lawful interception of TETRA Direct Mode Operation (DMO) it removes the

liability of network operators and service providers to provide a result of interception when communication does not

The present document describes the normal and exceptional operation in each of the three operational phases of T-LI:

The actions taken within the TETRA network to establish the monitoring of a target and the interception

The removal of a monitor facility against a target and the cleardown of the interception communications

The present document does not describe the means of transporting data from the TETRA network to the LEA, but

describes only the means of capturing and encoding the activities of a target within the TETRA network and delivering

The present document does not define the operations or technical requirements of the Handover Interface that takes data

The present document does not define the operations or technical requirements of the LEMF.

For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:

call: any connection (fixed or temporary) capable of transferring information between two or more users of a

telecommunication system where at least one of the parties to the call (for the purposes of EN 301 040) is a user of a

content of communication: information exchanged between two or more users of a telecommunications service where

at least one of the users is accessing the service in a TETRA network whilst a call is established, excluding intercept

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC): time scale maintained by the Bureau International de l'Heure (BIH) that forms

the basis of a coordinated dissemination of standard frequencies and time signals

NOTE: The source of this definition is ITU-R Recommendation TF-460-6 [14]of the Consultative Committee on

International Radio (CCIR). CCIR has also defined the acronym for Coordinated Universal Time as UTC.

co-target: correspondent of the target (i.e. the individual or group address with whom the target is communicating)

identity: technical label which may represent the origin or destination of any TETRA traffic, as a rule clearly identified

by a physical communication identity number (such as a telephone number) or the logical or virtual communication

identity number (such as a personal number) which the subscriber can assign to a physical access on a case-by-case

intercept related information: collection of information or data associated with TETRA services involving the target,

specifically call associated information or data, service associated information or data (e.g. service profile management

Interception (OR Lawful Interception): action (based on the law), performed by a network operator/service provider,

of making available certain information and providing that information to an LEMF
