First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for providing information intercept in an ad-hoc wireless network, the method comprising:
- receiving designation information at a reporter mobile station (MS) in the wireless network, said designation information identifying a target MS, wherein designation information includes specifying a surveillance type selected from (a) intercept-related information, (b) actual call content, and (c) both intercept-related information and actual call content;
storing said designation information in said reporter MS;
detecting a communication from said target MS by said reporter MS;
storing call information about said communication in said reporter MS; and
reporting said call information to a predetermined lawful intercept entity by said reporter MS.

Abstract
A reporting mobile station (800) operating in an ad-hoc wireless network (600) and method therein, receives, from the infrastructure (611), designation information (506) identifying a target mobile station, and stores (704) the designation information. The reporting mobile station then detects (706) a communication from the target mobile station, and stores (708) information (508) about the communication. The reporting mobile station then reports (710) the call information to a predetermined lawful intercept entity (612).
