Abstract: Methods and systems for correlating mobile communication terminals with individuals. The methods and systems take advantage of scenarios where individuals pass through control checkpoints, such as passport control and immigration counters. When an individual is served by a control checkpoint, the individual's mobile communication terminal is known to be located in a well-localized geographical area. At the same time, the individual voluntarily provides some identification information, such as his passport details. Thus, this scenario presents an opportunity to correlate the mobile communication terminal and its user with high reliability.

Abstract: Methods and systems for communication interception that apply joint processing to signals and information obtained from a satellite communication network and from a cellular communication network. A processing unit processes intercepted signals from the satellite and cellular networks using shared hardware. The processing unit extracts information related to target users from communication sessions conducted by the target users in the satellite and cellular networks. The processing unit may store this information in a single data structure, and in particular correlate information pertaining to the same target user in the two networks. The processing unit may correlate the different identifiers used by the target user in the different networks, and use this correlation to enhance the tracking of this user.

Abstract: Methods and systems for locating Mobile Stations (MSs) that are served by a Wireless communication Network (WLN) in a given geographical area. The MSs typically communicate with other parties, or connect to the Internet, through the WLN, wherein Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs) serve as the WLN front ends from the MSs perspective. A Stimulating Apparatus (SA) monitors control messages that the BTSs in the area of the SA broadcast to MSs. The SA analyzes the control messages that it receives, selects one transmitting BTS and creates a modified version of the control messages that it has received from the selected BTS. The SA then broadcasts the modified messages on behalf of the selected BTS by using its frequency channel. The discrepant transmission parameters are designed to stimulate any MS that receives them to induce a network event from which the MS location may be estimated.

Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying mobile communication terminals that are used in an unauthorized manner in a restricted environment. A monitoring system monitors mobile communication terminals that operate in the vicinity of a restricted environment, such as a prison. A profiling system analyzes the communication of the solicited terminals, and produces respective activity profiles of the terminals. Based on the activity profiles, the profiling system identifies communication terminals that are operated illegitimately. Various actions can be taken with respect to such illegitimate terminals. In a prison application, the profiling system identifies communication terminals that are operated illegitimately by prisoners.

Abstract: A hybrid interception system that comprises both a passive interception subsystem and an active interception subsystem that operate jointly to intercept communication of a target wireless terminal. A passive interception system receives the communication without transmitting to the mobile communication terminal. An active interception system intercepts the communication by initiating temporary bidirectional communication with the terminal. The target terminal may be initially detected by the passive interception subsystem, while in other embodiments it is detected by the active interception subsystem. The subsystem that detects the target terminal triggers the other subsystem, so that the target terminal is effectively intercepted jointly by both subsystems. The outputs of both the passive and the active interception are analyzed jointly, stored in a joint data structure, and/or presented jointly to an operator.
