Third-party wireless device identification
Systems and methods are provided for notifying third-party servers, such as law enforcement agency servers, of updates to wireless user equipment identifiers. The method includes receiving a replacement wireless user equipment identifier to replace a current wireless UE identifier. It is determined that a third-party server (law enforcement agency) information request is associated with the current wireless UE identifier (such as an IMEI or PEI). Responsive to determining there is an information request from a third-party server associated with the current wireless UE identifier, notification of the replacement wireless user equipment identifier is generated and transmitted to the third-party server.
1 . A system, the system comprising:
one or more hardware processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
receive a replacement wireless user equipment (UE) identifier to replace a current wireless UE identifier;
determine a third-party server information request is associated with the current wireless UE identifier;
responsive to determining the third-party server information request is associated with the current wireless UE identifier, generate an X 1 interface notification of the replacement wireless UE identifier to a third-party server; and
transmit, via an X 1 interface, the X 1 interface notification of the replacement wireless UE identifier to the third-party server of the third-party server information request.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the X 1 interface notification generated identifies the replacement wireless UE identifier and the current wireless UE identifier.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware processors are further configured by machine-readable instructions to:
transmit the X 1 interface notification of the replacement wireless UE identifier to an agent server of the third-party server.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein a lawful interception management system transmits the X 1 interface notification of the replacement wireless user equipment identifier to an agent server of the third-party server.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the third-party server is a server of a law enforcement agency (LEA).
6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the third-party server information request from the third-party server was made by the server of the LEA.
7 . A method, the method comprising:
receiving a replacement wireless user equipment (UE) identifier to replace a current wireless UE identifier;
determining a third-party server information request is associated with the current wireless UE identifier;
responsive to determining the third-party server information request associated with the current wireless UE identifier, generating an X 1 interface notification of the replacement wireless user equipment identifier to a third-party server; and
transmitting, via an X 1 interface, the X 1 interface notification of the replacement wireless UE identifier to the third-party server of the third-party server information request.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the X 1 interface notification generated identifies the replacement wireless UE identifier and the current wireless UE identifier.
9 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
transmitting the X 1 interface notification of the replacement wireless user equipment identifier to an agent server of the third-party server.
10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein a lawful interception management system transmits the X 1 interface notification of the replacement wireless user equipment identifier to an agent server of the third-party server.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the third-party server is a server of a law enforcement agency.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the third-party server information request from the third-party server was made by the server of the LEA.
13 . A non-transient computer-readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon, the instructions being executable by one or more processors to perform a method, the method comprising:
receiving a replacement wireless user equipment identifier to replace a current wireless UE identifier;
determining a third-party server information request is associated with the current wireless UE identifier; and
responsive to determining the third-party server information request associated with the current wireless UE identifier, generating an X 1 interface notification of the replacement wireless user equipment identifier to a third-party server; and
transmitting, via an X 1 interface, the X 1 interface notification of the replacement wireless UE identifier to the third-party server of the third-party server information request.
14 . The non-transient computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the X 1 interface notification generated identifies the replacement wireless UE identifier and the current wireless UE identifier.
15 . The non-transient computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the method further comprises:
transmitting the X 1 interface notification of the replacement wireless user equipment identifier to an agent server of the third-party server.
16 . The non-transient computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein a lawful interception management system transmits the X 1 interface notification of the replacement wireless user equipment identifier to an agent server of the third-party server.
17 . The non-transient computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the third-party server is a server of a law enforcement agency.
