Abstract
An authorization system in a home wireless network comprises a communication interface and a processing system, wherein a wireless communication device associated with the home wireless network transfers a request to a visited wireless network for access to an internet. The communication interface is configured to receive an authorization request for the wireless communication device transmitted from the visited wireless network. The processing system is configured to select a visited internet connection for the wireless communication device and determine whether a lawful intercept is required. The processing system is further configured to include an intercept attribute in an authorization response indicating a destination for collecting intercepted information pursuant to the lawful intercept. The communication interface is configured to transfer the authorization response for delivery to the visited wireless network, wherein the visited wireless network provides the access to the internet in response to the authorization response and transfers the intercepted information for delivery to the destination.
