Patent number: 11924252Abstract: Methods and network devices implement a lawful interception (LI) trigger control function as an LI target handler and a modified trigger control function. A generic LI triggering interface enables the modified trigger control function to query the LI target handler regarding whether entities using a network function instance are in a target list. The LI target handler has to meet the LI security requirements, but the modified trigger control function does not have to meet such requirements.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2019Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Antonio Vitiello, Daniele Gaito, Enrico De Luca, Lorenzo Giuseppe Elisio, Mariano Russo

Patent number: 9380554Abstract: The invention relates to a radio network controller (RNC) for receiving a LOCATION_REPORTING_CONTROL message and analyzing a value of a request type information element received in the LOCATION_REPORTING_CONTROL message. The RNC directly determines requested location information for a user equipment (UE) if the request information element indicates sending location information as a direct response to the LOCATION_REPORTING_CONTROL message or the RNC determines the requested location information if the UE changes the service area if the request information element indicates sending location information at a change of service area by the UE. The RNC then sends a LOCATION_REPORT message comprising the location information and the request type information element to at least one control node.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2014Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Enrico De Luca, Alessandro Lala, Martin Israelsson, Anders Molander, Maurizio Iovieno, Arpad Kormos

Patent number: 8301175Abstract: A method of controlling paging flow in a network for cellular communications is described, which comprises the steps of: at a control node, receiving a request for paging a mobile station; determining a location area in which the paging shall be performed; checking whether the number of paging transactions which are ongoing for the location area is lower than at least one maximum number of ongoing paging transactions allowed for the location area; after a determination that the number of ongoing paging transactions is lower than the maximum number, updating the number of ongoing paging transactions for the location area and processing the paging request. Preferably, if the number of ongoing paging transactions is not lower than the maximum number, it is checked whether the paging request is a particular LCS transaction and, if so, the request is placed in a buffer and served with priority as soon as the number of ongoing paging transactions returns to be lower than the maximum number.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2004Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Dimitris Papadimitriou, Enrico De Luca, Angelo Ciriaco

Patent number: 7969968Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for lawful interception of data transmissions through at least one broadband network. Data transmissions, including voice and data services as well as high bandwidth transmissions such as multimedia and video, are intercepted and routed to authorized agencies such as law enforcement monitoring facilities. The systems and methods also enable interception of data transmissions such as peer to peer type data transmissions that pass through broadband networks from source to recipient without passing through centralized core network elements. These transmissions are intercepted at access points distributed throughout the broadband networks and forwarded to lawful intercept node elements for transmission to authorized entities.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2007Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (PUBL)Inventors: Enrico De Luca, Bengt Larsson, Ezio Zerbini
