Part 3: Routing, Provision and Storing of Real-Time Communication-Related Information

9. Routing and content of additional real-time communication-related information during active intercept or in respect of future information

 

9.1 When—
(a) both a real-time communication-related direction as well as an interception direction or request, in respect of the same target identity, are received; or
(b) a real-time communication-related direction, that requires information in respect of a future period of time, is received,

a MCO shall be able to route or provide the real-time communication-related information in accordance with the direction concerned—

(i) when a call setup is attempted and a link has been established with the controlling network element, such as a Mobile Switching Centre (MSC};
(ii) when a successful call is established;
(iii) when no successful call is established but a link has been established with the controlling network element, such as a Mobile Switching Centre (MSC);
(iv) on change of service or service parameter (e,g. activation of call forwarding and includes so-called supplementary services);
(v) on change of location during an established calf.

 

9.2 In the circumstances set out in paragraph 9.1, above, a MCO shall he able to route the following real-time communication-related information to the IC:
(a) Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), including telephony, fax, Circuit Switched Data (CSD), as well as Wireless Application Protocol (VVAP) over CSD and Multimedia Message Service (MMS) over CSD:
(i) Called number- (destination of an outgoing-communication by the target identity).
(ii) Calling number (MSISDN of originating party of a terminating communication to the target identity).
(iii) Date and time of the start and duration of the communication, when available.
(iv) Type of communication (incoming, outgoing, link through, conference).
(v) Intermediate numbers where target identity establishes conference calls or calls to link through services.
(vi) IMSl number, IMEl number (where available) and MSISDN number of target identity.
(vii) Identification of the base station and cell (including micro cell) that were used to link the target identity at the start of an indirect communication.
(viii) Nature of the indirect communication (etc fax, voice, or data).
(ix) For outbound roaming where the target identity roams on a foreign network, the information set out in subparagraph (a)(i) to (viii), above, when available on the date to be determined by the Minister
(x) Forwarding call number.
(b) General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), including Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) over GPRS and Multimedia Message Service (MMS) over GPRS:
(i) Called address, Access Point Name or APN (destination of an outgoing communication by the target identity).
(ii) Date and time of the start and duration of the communication, when available.
(iii) Data volume, if available.
(iv) Type of communication (incoming, outgoing).
(v) IMSl number, IMEl number (where available) and MSISDN number of target identity.
(vi) Identification of the base-station and cell (including micro cell) that were used to link the target identity at the start of an indirect communication.
(vii) Nature of the indirect communication (etc fax, voice, or data).
(viii) For outbound roaming where the target identity roams on a foreign network, the information set out in subparagraph (b)(i) to (vii), above, when available and on the date to be determined by the Minister.
(c) Short Messaging Service (SMS), including outgoing and terminating short messages:
(i) Called number (destination of an outgoing communication by the target identity where receipt of the message has been confirmed by the controlling network element, SMSC).
(ii) Date and time of the communication, when applicable.
(iii) Type of communication (incoming, outgoing).
(iv) IMSl number, IMEl number (where available) and MSISDN number of target identity.
(v) Identification of the base-station and cell (including micro cell) that were used to link the target identity at the start of an indirect communication.
(vi) Nature of the indirect communication (etc fax, voice, or data).
(vii) For outbound roaming where the target identity roams on a foreign network, the information set out in subparagraph (c)(i) to (vi), above, when available.
(d) Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD): The information available in the records of the MCO on the same basis as set out in subparagraph (c), above.
(e) Universal Mobile Telephone Service (UMTS): The information available in the records of the MCO on the same basis as set out in subparagraph (b), above.
(f) Any other data service not mentioned in subparagraphs (a) to (e), above: The information available in the records of the MCO on the same basis as set out in subparagraph (b), above.
