This document discusses the requirements and integration of IMS interception in the NGN, including identification, signaling, and content interception. It addresses the challenges of correlation across ECN/ECS boundary and provides guidelines for clear identification of Points of Interception. The goal is to ensure compliance with international user requirements and the objectives of the ECN&S regulatory framework.

Common IMS in TISPAN SA3LITISPANWG7_08_02 Scott CADZOW
IMS in NGN • NGN brings together many access technologies to a common service enabling platform • IMS serves as the common service enabling platform • Access technologies are managed in their own abstraction layer • NASS (Network Access Sub-System) • QoS and access privileges are managed through an additional abstraction layer • RACS (Resource and Admission Control System) • Users may use many access technologies to access services and may use them concurrently or sequentially within a single session • This requires IMS to be supportive of any NASS or RACS technology • Has to ensure that NASS/RACS requirements are devolved to the correct layer
The goals for NGN LI standardisation • Conformance to International User Requirement • As annex to COM 96/C329/01: "European Union Council Resolution COM 96/C329/01 of 17 January 1995 on the Lawful Interception of Telecommunications" • As found in TS 101 331 "Telecommunications security; Lawful Interception (LI); Requirements of Law Enforcement Agencies“ • Compliance with objectives of ECN&S regulatory framework • The NGN consists of many ECN and many ECS with loose relationships • Clear identification of Points of Interception • What is available at different PoI • Correlation between different PoI • Prevention of duplication of invocation of interception at PoIs
Documents to integrate • TISPAN • TS 187 005, in draft for NGN-R2 • 3GPP SA3-LI • 33.107, stage 2 in draft for R8 • 33.108, stage 3 in draft for R8 • TC LI • TS 102 232, handover to IP networks • ES 201 671/TS 101 671, handover to Circuit Switched networks
Technologies supported by the NGN • Separation of ECN and ECS • ECS technologies: • IMS (care of 3GPP) • PES (ISDN/PSTN on soft-switches) • IPTV • Corporate services • ECN technologies: • ADSL • PLMN Radio (care of 3GPP) • LAN radio (mostly care of 3GPP) • PSTN/ISDN
Interception in the NGN - identity • ECS identity • MSISDN • E.164 • SIP-url (sip-user@sip-domain) • Other … • ECN identity • IMSI • Chap credential and identity
Interception in the NGN - signalling • ECS • IMS (SIP) signalling • REGISTER (equivalent to MAP, found at HLR/VLR like entities) • INVITE, ACK, BYE, CANCEL, OPTIONS (found at CSCF entities) • PES/PSS • ISDN emulation signalling found at Signalling gateways (H.248) • SIGTRAN, SIP-I • ECN • Access signalling (no service), CHAP, PPP etc.
Interception in the NGN - content • ECS • No traffic content • Some extended signalling content in SDP/SIP • ECN • IP traffic content • TCP, UDP, RTP • Non-IP traffic content
Problems in NGN, ECN&S interception • Correlation across ECN/ECS boundary • IMS into NASS via RACS (Gq’) for QoS transport control • Resource requests from ECS to ECN not personalised • Dynamic assignment of NASS and RACS without IMS intervention • One service many transport offerings • Ownership break across ECN/ECS boundary (one CSP for each of ECN and ECS) • No correlation as there is no common visibility to CSP
IMS interception • IMS is an instance of ECS technology • Independent of ECN technologies • IMS is a platform • No services per-se • Expectation from NGN • Clear identification of PoI for various IMS capabilities • Common capability for all IMS implementations
Concerns to be addressed • Structure of IMS interception • One clause for any technology (IMS is an ECS technology and any ECN technology can/should be able to access it) • Reference from TS 187 005 to 33.107 • Annex showing normative application from TS 187 005 to 33.108 • Timetable for IMS interception • Required for NGN-R2 • TS 187 005 to be finalised very soon and needs to have IMS interception included • Ideally by reference to 33.107 and 33.108 • If not by reference then in a transferable way (i.e. defined in TISPAN for movement to 33.107 and 33.108 when appropriate)
