ATIS LI/LAES Standards
Development
Submission Date:
July 1, 2008
Highlight of Current Activities (1)
Wireline VoIP and Broadband Focus -- PTSC-LAES
Subcommittee
• Currently focusing on:
– Additions/changes to Lawfully Authorized Electronic Services (LAES)
standards for:
• VoIP
• Internet Access and Services (IAS, Broadband)
• Advanced VoIP Conferencing Services
• Next Generation Networks
– Implementation Guidelines for LAES Public IP Network Access
Services
• Recently completed work:
– Data Buffering (Short Term Storage) in an IAS LAES Environment
– Wireline Service Provider Job Aid for VoIP and IAS LAES Standards

Highlight of Current Activities (2)
Wireless/GSM-Evolved Focus – WTSC-LI Subcommittee
• Currently focusing on:
– Standards for Lawful Intercept (LI) for Push-to-Talk over
Cellular (PoC)
– Advanced VoIP Conferencing Services
– Canadian Specific Location Update Requirements for
LAES
– Delta documents to 3GPP LI Specifications to support
specific USA/Canadian Requirements
• Recently completed work:
– LI for IMS-based VoIP

Strategic Direction
• Work within legal and regulatory framework (per
USA CALEA law and related FCC regulations, and
Canadian regulations) – e.g., USA “Safe-Harbor”
provision
• Work proactively to support law enforcement’s
needs (per reasonable changes and direction)
• Work in response to FCC regulatory mandates
• Focus on regional needs of LI/LAES (North
America)
• Coordinate/collaborate with other organizations
where appropriate (e.g., TIA)
4
Challenges
• Working at the nexus where law, regulation,
technology, and standards come together
• Delivering standards to satisfy aggressive
regulatory mandate target dates such that reliable
implementations can be deployed (per target dates)
• Determining what is “reasonable” to proactively
support law enforcement’s needs (while not
crossing the line of interpreting law or regulation)
• Change management of LI/LAES standards, e.g.:
– Separating implementation guidelines from necessary
changes to the standards
– FCC petition process
5
Next Steps/Actions
• Complete currently defined work program
• Continue appropriate changes to current
standards suite
• Respond (at appropriate time) to the
expectation of more information from FCC
regarding J-STD-025B and possibly other
NGN related LI/LAES standards
• Continue with cross-organizational
coordination and collaboration

General Drivers for LI/LAES
Drivers:
• Stimulated by passage of the U.S. 1994
Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement
Act (CALEA)
• FCC Mandates
• Law Enforcement and National Security needs
• “Safe Harbor”
– Something (as a statutory or regulatory provision)
that provides protection (as from a penalty or
liability). From Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of
Law © 2001.

PTSC Mission/Scope
• Packet Technologies and Systems Committee (PTSC)
– http://www.atis.org/0191/index.asp
– Mission: PTSC develops and recommends standards and technical
reports related to services, architectures, and signaling, in addition to
related subjects under consideration in other North American and
international standards bodies.
– Scope: The Packet Technologies and Systems Committee:
• Coordinates and develops standards and technical reports relevant to
telecommunications networks in the U.S.
• Reviews and prepares contributions on such matters for submission to
U.S. ITU-T and U.S. ITU-R Study Groups or other standards
organizations.
• Reviews for acceptability or per contra the positions of other countries in
related standards development and takes or recommends appropriate
actions.
10
PTSC-LAES Mission/Scope
• PTSC Lawfully Authorized Electronic Surveillance Subcommittee
(PTSC LAES)
– Mission: The PTSC LAES Subcommittee develops and recommends
standards, technical requirements and technical reports related to
Lawfully Authorized Electronic Surveillance (LAES) of packet-mode
technologies in a wireline environment.
– Scope: Coordinates and develops standards, technical requirements,
technical reports and other documents relevant to LAES of packet-mode
technology in telecommunications networks in the U.S., taking advantage of
standards development progress in other standards organizations, e.g., IETF,
WTSC and ETSI. In as much as the development of standards may be
evolved or influenced by several ATIS technical committees/forums, PTSC
and the PTSC LAES Subcommittee will maintain liaisons with appropriate
ATIS committees/forums, as well as with standards-setting bodies, external to
ATIS and will adopt other SDO standards as appropriate.
11
WTSC Mission/Scope
• Wireless Technologies and Systems Committee (WTSC)
– http://www.atis.org/0160/index.asp
– Mission: WTSC develops and recommends standards and technical
reports related to wireless and/or mobile services and systems,
including service descriptions and wireless technologies. WTSC
develops and recommends positions on related subjects under
consideration in other North American, regional and international
standards bodies.
– Scope: WTSC coordinates and develops standards and technical reports
primarily relevant to wireless/mobile telecommunications networks in the
U.S. and reviews and prepares contributions on such matters for submission
to the appropriate U.S. preparatory body for consideration as ITU
contributions or for submission to other domestic and regional standards
organizations. WTSC will maintain liaison with other ATIS Committees as
well as external fora as appropriate. WTSC will coordinate closely with other
standards developing organizations (e.g., ITU-R, TIA, IEEE, ETSI) on
wireless issues to ensure that the work programs are complementary.
12
WTSC-LI Mission/Scope
• WTSC Lawful Intercept Subcommittee (WTSC LI)
– Mission: WTSC-LI develops, maintains, amends, and enhances
American National Standards and other WTSC deliverables related
to lawful intercept within the GSM family (GSM/EGPRS/UMTS). This
work may be done within WTSC-LI or may be done in close
cooperation with other U.S., regional, and international standards
and specifications groups to ensure that respective standards and
specifications for the GSM family meet North American regulatory
and commercial requirements.
– Scope:
WTSC-LI provides the following functions and capabilities:
• Formulate positions in support of WTSC objectives.
• Coordinates activities relevant to U.S., regional, and international standards and
specifications activities including:
• Preparation, review and presentation of contributions as proposed US positions for
submission to international standards bodies such as ITU-T;
• Establish appropriate mechanisms and coordinate contributions and positions that support
WTSC objectives with other relevant committees and organizations (e.g., other US, regional,
and international standards and specifications fora).
• Evaluate proposals for lawful intercept capabilities within the GSM family.
• Transpose 3GPP lawful intercept deliverables into WTSC deliverables.
• Develop and coordinate appropriate inputs regarding lawful intercept aspects that impact or
are impacted by IMT-2000 services.
