Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a user equipment (UE) device operative for receiving, from a local network, a mobile country code identifying a jurisdiction in which the local network is located, identifying, in a memory of the UE device, a lawful intercept modify parameter associated with the jurisdiction, receiving, based on the lawful intercept modify parameter, regulatory requirements for implementing lawful intercept procedures by the UE device, and communicating with the local network according to the lawful intercept procedures. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A user equipment (UE) device, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving, from a local network, information about a jurisdiction in which the local network is located;
- identifying, in the memory, a lawful intercept modify parameter associated with the jurisdiction;
- communicating, to the local network, an attach message, the attach message including the lawful intercept modify parameter, the information about the jurisdiction, and information about a home network with which the UE device is associated;
- receiving, from the home network over the local network, based on the lawful intercept modify parameter, regulatory requirements for implementing lawful intercept procedures by the UE device;
- and
- communicating with the local network according to the lawful intercept procedures.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- broadcasting a local public land mobile network (PLMN) identifier at a local network, the local PLMN identifying the local network to user equipment devices on the local network;
- receiving, from a user equipment (UE), an attach message, the attach message including a home PLMN identifier associated with a home network of the UE and a local regulation modification parameter;
- communicating a message to the home network of the UE, the message including the local regulation modification parameter;
- receiving, from the home network of the UE, information about regulatory requirements for the UE;
- and
- communicating the information about regulatory requirements to the UE.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processing system including a processor, a broadcast control message from a local network, the broadcast control message including a public land mobile network (PLMN) identifier, the PLMN identifier including a mobile country code (MCC) corresponding to a country in which the local network is operating;
- comparing, by the processing system, the MCC with values stored in a memory, the values corresponding to one or more networks in countries requiring modified operation;
- communicating, by the processing system, an attach message, the attach message including data indicating a match between the MCC and a value stored in the memory, the data indicating a match corresponding to a request to a home network for information about a modified operation for the country in which the local network is operating;
- and
- receiving, by the processing system, a response, the response indicating modified operating procedures on the local network.
