4.1 Reference Model for Lawful Interception
The present document adopts the generic reference model for the interception domain from ETSI TR 102 528 [i.1], its
internal intercept functions, Intercept Related Information Interception Function (IRI IIF), Content of Communication
Trigger Function (CCTF), and Content of Communication Internal Interception Function (CC IIF), and the Internal
Network Interfaces INI1, INI2, INI3, Content of Communication Trigger Interface (CCTI) and Content of
Communication Control Interface (CCCI) as shown in figure 1.

The reference model depicts the following functions and interfaces:
• INI1a provisions Intercept Related Information Internal Interception Function (IRI IIF).
• INI1b may (statically) provision Content of Communications Trigger Function (CCTF).
• INI1c provisions the Mediation Function (MF).
• Intercept Related Information Internal Intercept Function (IRI IIF) generates IRI.
• Content of Communication Internal Interception Function (CC IIF) generates CC.
• Content of Communication Trigger Function (CCTF) controls CC IIF.
• Content of Communication Control Interface (CCCI) provisions CC IIF.
• Content of Communication Trigger Interface (CCTI) may trigger CCTF for provisioning of the CC IIF.
• Content of Communication Control Interface (CCCI) may dynamically provision the CC IIF.
• Internal interface INI1 carries provisioning information from LIAF to the Internal Intercept Functions (IIF).
• Internal interface INI2 carries Intercept Related Information (IRI) from IRI IIF to the MF.
• Internal interface INI3 carries Content of Communication (CC) information from CC IIF to the MF.
For an in-depth explanation of the functions and interface, refer to clause 4 of ETSI TR 102 528 [i.1].
4.2 Reference system model
4.2.0 Overview
The reference system model applied in the present document, as depicted in figure 2, provides a simplified model of a
technology independent, IP MultiMedia (MM) service platform, accessed by multiple different access networks. The
access networks may provide different forms of network access, using different technologies; they all have in common
that they provide IP connectivity among end-users and between end-users and the IP MM services provided by the IP
MM service platform.

11 ETSI TS 102 232-5 V3.10.1 (2019-04)
Access from the access networks into the IP Core network of the IP MM service provider is assumed to be protected by
some gateway device (e.g. a session border controller, border gateway controller or a firewall/router combination).
The IP MM Service platform contains a signalling server that provides session initiation functionality (e.g. a SIP call
manager or an H.323 gatekeeper) among end-users and between end-users and communication services (e.g. unified
messaging, audio or video conference servers).
4.2.1 Network layer Interception
Network Layer interception requires a copy of all signalling information as well as call content exchanged in the
platform to be available at a central point in the infrastructure.

This can be achieved by means of span-ports in the layer 2 switching backbone or by means of passive splitters (either
copper or fibre) at strategic points in the SvP's core network. Either way, due to the bandwidth of copied network
traffic, some form of filtering will most likely be required (e.g. by means of a layer 3 switch).
4.2.2 Service layer Interception
Service Layer interception requires LI interfaces and functionality to be available in both the signalling server and the
gateways.

12 ETSI TS 102 232-5 V3.10.1 (2019-04)
Typically the IRI IIF in the signalling server is provisioned with the target ID. At detection of a session setup for a
target, the IRI IIF will provide the IRI for the intercepted session and may provide session information to be used for
ad-hoc provisioning of the gateway devices. In some implementations, the gateway devices are also provisioned with
the target ID beforehand and are capable of detecting sessions independent from the signalling server.
4.3 General Requirements
The following requirements regarding the interception of signalling shall apply:
1) Annex B provides the functional description of the minimal set of information that is to be provided to Law
Enforcement for each intercepted communication.
2) The present document supports the interception of communication services defined in the following
IETF/ITU-T standards and recommendations:
- IETF RFC 3261 [4] (SIP);
- IETF RFC 3550 [5] (RTP);
- IETF RFC 4975 [15] (MSRP);
- Recommendation ITU-T H.323 [6];
- Recommendation ITU-T H.225.0 [12];
- Recommendation ITU-T H.245 [13];
- Recommendation ITU-T T.38 [16].
3) Any deviation from the supported IETF and ITU-T specifications identified in item 2, e.g. vendor specific
parameters, shall be agreed in advance between the Communications Service Provider (CSP) and Law
Enforcement Agency (LEA).
4) The present document specifies the handover of intercepted signalling containing all information required in
ETSI TS 101 331 [10] by encapsulating that intercepted signalling.
5) IRI that is not part of intercepted signalling shall also be delivered. The format of such information on the
handover interface shall be agreed in advance between the CSP and LEA.
6) As a national option, mapping of the IRI information onto specific messages at the handover interface may be
mandated, e.g. according to the ATIS-PP-1000678 [11] specification.
