Abstract
The invention provides a method and system for third party eavesdropping to communications of a target wireless electronic device. The method comprises: providing a private network system adapted to intercept communications of a target wireless device; obtaining communication characteristics of a target wireless electronic device; instructing the target wireless device to obtain measurements of public network cells in the vicinity of the target device; instructing the target device to report the measurements to the private network system; and activating the private network to eavesdrop on communications occurring on the target wireless electronic device by impersonating the target wireless device. While communication occurs on the target device, a handover is induced to a public network cell, and the handover is followed to continue eavesdropping on the communication.
