EP 1 665 838 B1 Printed by Jouve, 75001 PARIS (FR) EP 1 665 838 B1 Description TECHNICAL FIELD 5 [0001] The disclosed embodiments relate to mobile communications networks and devices, and more particularly to providing services for roaming mobile communications device users. RELATED APPLICATIONS 10 [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent application serial no. 60/495,202, filed August 13, 2003. BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE 15 [0003] Mobile communications device users are increasing dependent on the ability to use their mobile communications devices all over the world. Mobile users who travel out of their "home network" are called roamers. There are many different mobile communications network operators throughout the world, each having its own territories, technical systems, and business systems. Currently, roamers are typically not able to travel freely and have a seamless experience in any operator’s network. There are currently disadvantages for both the roaming user and the network operator. 20 [0004] For example, roamers who roam frequently between two countries often have a need for a local phone number in each network; either to enable local users to call them at a cheap rate without worrying about international direct dial (IDD) calls, or to present a multi-national appearance. Such roamers typically buy a local pre-paid subscription from the local network operator and use the local phone number to make outgoing calls. However, if the roamer has a single phone and has swapped out the HPMN SIM card, the roamer will not be able to receive HPMN calls and SMS messages. 25 Also, when the roamer is back in his HPMN, he may not be able to receive calls on their FPMN number. Such roamers must also change the SIM in their mobile handset each time they roam in the local network, which is not convenient. The home network operator is also disadvantaged because the home network operator is not receiving the roaming revenue. It is thus desirable to facilitate roaming, even international roaming with minimum effort on the part of the roaming user, such as eliminating the requirement for different SIMs. 30 [0005] Mobile communications network operators face tremendous challenges in growing their revenue streams in the face of increasing competition and pricing pressures. Roamers are an attractive source of revenue for operators sometimes constituting as much as 8% to 40% of an operator’s total revenue. It is thus desirable to be able to influence or control the roamer’s network choices in order to maximize the benefits to the operator and to the subscriber user. [0006] US patent application number 09/969,253 describes systems and methods for providing local service to non- 35 local subscribers in a telecommunications network. The systems and methods employ mapping of a subscriber IMSI with a unique local identifier for use by the local system for locally originating and terminating calls. [0007] US patent no. 5,943,620 describes a method for associating one directory number with two mobile stations within a mobile telecommunications network such that when an incoming call connection is received towards the directory number the HLR makes a determination as to which one of the two mobile stations is active and the incoming call 40 connection is then forwarded to the active mobile station. [0008] International patent application number PCT/EP99/03107 describes a mobile radio system having a plurality of mobile terminals where the mobile terminals have a subscriber identity module which contains a calculation rule for calculating from a stored identity at least one further identity. [0009] The International Patent Applications WO98/10614 and WO99/55107 disclose a system and a method for 45 enabling a subscriber to roam in a network which does not have a roaming agreement with the home network of the subscriber, by using the roaming agreements and local IMSIs of a foreign network having roaming agreements with both said home network and said network in which said subscriber is roaming. Summary of invention 50 [0010] The present application is defined by the appended independent claims 1, 20, 35 and 36.

  • Location Update Procedure
    Location Update Procedure In order to make a mobile terminated call, The GSM network should know the location of the MS (Mobile Station), despite of its movement. For this purpose the MS periodically reports its location to the network using the Location Update procedure. Location Area (LA) A GSM network is divided into cells. A group of cells is considered a location area. A mobile phone in motion keeps the network informed about changes in the location area. If the mobile moves from a cell in one location area to a cell in another location area, the mobile phone should perform a location area update to inform the network about the exact location of the mobile phone. The Location Update procedure is performed: When the MS has been switched off and wants to become active, or When it is active but not involved in a call, and it moves from one location area to another, or After a regular time interval. Location registration takes place when a mobile station is turned on. This is also known as IMSI Attach because as soon as the mobile station is switched on it informs the Visitor Location Register (VLR) that it is now back in service and is able to receive calls. As a result of a successful registration, the network sends the mobile station two numbers that are stored in the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card of the mobile station. These two numbers are:- 1. Location Area Identity (LAI) 2. Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI). The network, via the control channels of the air interface, sends the LAI.

  • Network Architecture
    Chapter 1 Network Architecture This section gives an overview of the most important entities in a GSM network and the different protocols that are used between these entities. A single GSM network is often referred to as a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN). This is the network operated by a single provider in a single region. In most countries each provider maintains a single PLMN, but in certain large countries, like the USA, several PLMNs can be maintained by a single provider. A PLMN manages all traffic between mobile phones and all traffic between mobile phones and the other land networks. These land networks can either be the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), an ISDN network, or the Internet. Figure 1.1 shows an overview of all the entities in a GSM network. These entities are often subdivided between three “domains”; the Mobile Station (MS) – i.e. mobile phones – , the Base Station Subsytem (BSS) and the Network Switching Subsystem (NSS). We will now look at each of these in more detail. 1.1 Mobile Station (MS) The Mobile Station (MS) is the subscribers module most people are familiar with. It consists of both some Mobile Equipment (ME) and a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM). Both are needed for the Mobile Station (MS) to function in the GSM network. Hence MS = ME+SIM. 1.1.1 Mobile Equipment (ME) The Mobile Equipment (ME) is simply the GSM phone people use to make and receive calls in a cellular network. It is basically a transmitter-receiver unit that is independent from network providers1.

  • Attacking Mobile Privacy by Catching MSISDN Location
    Attacking Mobile Privacy By Catching MSISDN Location Christoffer Evjen Ottesen Master of Science in Communication Technology Submission date: June 2017 Supervisor: Stig Frode Mjølsnes, IIK Co-supervisor: Ruxandra-Florentina Olimid, IIK Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Information Security and Communication Technology Title: Attacking Mobile Privacy By Catching MSISDN Location Student: Christoffer Evjen Ottesen Problem description: The MSISDN (or the phone number) is normally associated with a single mobile device linked to one person. Moreover, the phone number is used by many personal services and situations, such as registrations, communications, tickets and receipts, notifications, two-factor authentication, physical identification, geographical locations, and much more. Hence a mobile phone number can be considered to be personal information, and can be used to violate personal privacy. Starting out with the idea and use of an IMSI Catcher, this master thesis work will investigate the possibilities of building an "MSISDN Catcher": a system that detects and links MSISDN with people and locations, without having direct access to the mobile device nor the mobile operator network and registries. However, the MSISDN Catcher can combine several information sources, including broadcasts and side channels that may be available, and try to exploit various technical and social attack mechanisms. A particular focus should be kept on the 4G mobile networks, where experimentation can be based on the OpenAirInterface open source software and USRP B200mini radio devices in our Wireless Security Lab. Responsible professor: Stig Frode Mjølsnes Supervisor: Ruxandra-Florentina Olimid Abstract Today, we find wireless technology almost everywhere. Easily, we can communicate with people on the other side of the world using our mobile phones.

  • GSM – Artikkel
    International Journal of Digital Evidence Spring 2003, Volume 2, Issue 1 Forensics and the GSM mobile telephone system Svein Yngvar Willassen, M.Sc, Senior Investigator, Computer Forensics, Ibas AS Abstract The GSM system has become the most popular system for mobile communication in the world. Criminals commonly use GSM phones, and it is therefore a need for forensic investigators to understand which evidence can be obtained from the GSM system. This paper briefly explains the basics of the GSM system. Evidence items that can be obtained from the Mobile Equipment, the SIM and the core network are explored. Tools to extract such evidence from the components of the system exist, but there is a need to develop more sound forensic procedures and tools for extracting such evidence. The paper concludes with a short presentation on the future UMTS system, which largely builds on the design of GSM. 1.0 Introduction With GSM, systems for mobile communication reached a global scale. In the western world, it seems everyone has their own mobile phone, and GSM has taken more and more of the market. GSM allows users to roam seamlessly between networks, and separate the user identity from the phone equipment. In addition the GSM system provides the functional basis for the 3rd generation mobile system, UMTS. All these factors make it important for forensic investigators to understand how the GSM system works, and how evidence can be extracted from it. Criminals took the step into the mobile age a long time ago, and information from the mobile system can give the investigator crucial information on the criminal’s actions.
