The objective of this work item is to update lawful interception specifications for the latest Rel-10
architecture and services as described in the above justification.
The enhancements to specifications TS 33.106, TS 33.107 and TS 33.108 address the additional work to
specify the HI2 (Intercepted Related Information) and the HI3 (Content) interfaces to delivery to the Law
Enforcement Monitoring Facilities for 3G networks for Rel-10.
Details, for the common IMS and the TISPAN LI needs, have to be specified. Dynamic triggering of
interception between different domains should be investigated.
7.4 RELEASE‐INDEPENDENT FEATURES
While most 3GPP features are introduced in a specific release (e.g. Rel-99, Rel-5, Rel-6, etc.), there are
some features that can be introduced in a release-independent fashion. The main features that are
release-independent are the introduction of new frequency bands and the carrier configurations for DC-
HSPA and LTE CA. The significance of these features being release-independent is that they can be
standardized after a release is completed but can still be applicable to the earlier release.
This means that if a new frequency band or DC-HSPA/CA configuration has been approved in 3GPP for
inclusion in the specifications (i.e. co-existence and interference studies have been performed and
agreed to not introduce performance degradations to adjacent frequency bands), then these can be
applicable to any release and not have to wait for the completion of the next big 3GPP Release. These
updates can occur with the approval of the RAN plenary, more or less every quarter, by updating 3GPP
TS 36.307.
7.4.1 BAND COMBINATIONS FOR LTE‐CA
Specifically for the LTE-CA combinations, a large number of combinations will need to be studied in order
to support the needs of the various operators throughout the world (see 3GPP R4-101062). It is clear that
the large amount of work needed to complete this will not be done before the plan release date for LTE
Rel-10. Consequently, it was decided that in LTE Rel-10, RAN 4 will complete the specification for a set
of generic scenarios (Tables 7.2 and 7.3). It was also agreed that the additional CA scenarios will be
completed in a release-independent fashion.
