Method of linking a specific wireless device to the identity and/or identification measure of the bearer

摘要

A method for targeting a wireless device in the vicinity of a checkpoint, the checkpoint including at least one optionally automated operator station, wherein the targeted device is to be correlated with the identity of the targeted bearer of the device. Each station has at least a wireless device identity sensor and the vicinity of each station is defined as a bubble having a specified radius. The wireless device is part of an authorized wireless device network. The method includes installing an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) catcher as a surreptitious mobile tower in the midst of the authorized official network, and registering with the network. The registration supports all the present operators in the terminal. The method also includes moving the wireless device to one of the bubbles prior to the bearer leaving the counter and correlating the wireless device ID with the bearer ID.
