TIA Issues Call for Interest On Four  New Projects for Lawfully Authorized Electronic Surveillance

Arlington, VA (December 21, 2018) – The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) TR-45 Engineering Committee on Mobile and Point-to-Point Communications Standards has issued a call for interest for:

• Document J-STD-025-A initially titled “Lawfully Authorized Electronic Surveillance.”
  • TR-45 is developing guidelines around the interfaces between a telecommunications service provider (TSP) and a law enforcement agency (LEA) to assist the LEA in conducting lawfully authorized electronic surveillance.

• Document J-STD-025-B initially titled “Lawfully Authorized Electronic Surveillance.”
  • TR-45 is developing guidelines around defining the interfaces between a telecommunications service provider (TSP) and a Law Enforcement Agency to assist the LEA in conducting lawfully authorized electronic surveillance.

• Document J-STD-025-B-1 initially titled “Lawfully Authorized Electronic Surveillance (LAES) Addendum 1 – Addition of Mobile Equipment IDentifier (MEID).”
  • TR-45 is developing guidelines around additions to ANSI/J-STD-025-B adding MEID, as follows: a. Page 12 Line 46: Section 3 — Definitions and Acronyms – Add Mobile Equipment IDentifier (MEID). b. Page 92 Line 10: Section 6.4.9 — Party Identity – Add meid. c. Page 220 Line 14: Annex I — Party Identity – Add meid. d. Page 235 Lines 2 and 14: Index – Add meid and Mobile Equipment IDentifier e. Page 243 Line 43: Index – Add MEID.

• Document J-STD-025-B-2 initially titled “Lawfully Authorized Electronic Surveillance (LAES) Addendum 2 – Support for Carrier Identity.”
  • TR-45 is developing guidelines around additions to ANSI/J-STD-025-B adding Carrier Identity information in the cdma2000 Packet Data Serving System message, as follows: a. Page 72, Line 40: Section 5.5.4 cdma2000 Packet Data Serving System message, Table 21 – Add Carrier Identity. b. Page 93, Lines 40 and 52: Section 6.5 – Module ID and Object Identifier – Update Module ID and Object Identifier. c. Page 95 Line 27: Section 6.5 — message definitions, cdma2000 Packet Data Serving System message – Add Carrier Identity. d. Page 96 Line 3: Section 6.5 — parameter definitions – Add Carrier Identity.”

TIA is actively seeking participation in these projects from the user and general interest communities.

The stakeholders may include but are not limited to: manufacturers and users of Mobile Equipment Identifier and law enforcement equipment.

A major function of the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) is the writing and maintenance of voluntary industry standards and specifications. These activities are carried out by the volunteer members of TIA engineering committees. Recent meeting reports, agendas and notices for upcoming meetings, as well as links to some of the most popular standards from each committee are available on the public engineering committee pages.
