ABSTRACT:
A method of monitoring a call with a mobile terminal (MT) in an Internet Protocol (IP)-based network having a Gatekeeper that controls the network, a plurality of access routers that provide access to the network, and a Monitoring Station having monitoring facilities and a database of MTs to be monitored. When the MT sends an Admission Request message to the Gatekeeper, the Gatekeeper sends a query to the Monitoring Station asking whether the MT is to be monitored. The Monitoring Station sends a reply to the Gatekeeper indicating that the MT is to be monitored and providing an IP address where monitored packets are to be sent. The Gatekeeper then sends a monitoring request message to the access router associated with the MT. The request identifies the MT to be monitored, instructs the access router to monitor the MT, and provides a unique call identification (Call ID) and the IP address where monitored packets are to be sent. When the access router detects a packet associated with the MT, the router sends all packets associated with the MT to the Monitoring Station. The method also controls monitoring during intra-domain and inter-domain handoffs of the MT.
