The call data (known as Intercept Related Information or [[IRI]] in Europe and Call Data or CD in the US) consists of information about the targeted communications, including destination of a voice call (e.g., called party’s telephone number), source of a call (caller’s phone number), time of the call, duration, etc.

==IRI records==
 
* Lawful Interception, a feature as provided by service providers, requires law enforcement agency meeting Lawful Interception Requirements:
*** Law enforcement agency provides a list of targets
*** LIID (unique identifier) for the target
*** Phone number (calling or called number) of the target
*** Start/end date and time for the interception
*** Service provider updates targets list in it’s equipments
*** The equipments detect a matching calling or called number, and activates the interception
* Lawful Interception, allows law enforcement agencies to intercept calls
** By firstly having law enforcement agency meeting Lawful Interception Requirements:
** By receiving a copy of the audio of both parties, through CC link  (forked call) which is a call toward the agency, carrying intercepted audio
** By receiving call information records (or IRI records)
* Intercept Related Information record (IRI record) is a CDR-style record that contain IRI information on an intercepted call
 
==IRI records generating==
 
[[Image:Lawful-intercept-details.png|thumb|360px|Schematic showing interception of a call already routed with a Tmedia]]
 
* IRI records are generated at various states of the interception
* They provide information on the interception, and call state
* In a call, each call leg can be an interception target
* When a leg is an interception target, it’s intercepted:
** Audio «from» this leg is forked to a new outgoing call toward the agency
** Audio «to» this leg is forked to a new outgoing call toward the agency
** IRI records are generated for this interception
* Both legs may be independently and simultaneously intercepted
** 2 pairs of forked audio outgoing calls
** 2 sets of IRI records
 
==Types of IRI records==
 
* Start:  Indicate that the interception is starting at first event of the communication attempt
* Continue: Indicate call state change at any time during the communication (attempt)
* End:  Indicate the end of the interception at the end of the communication (attempt)
* Report: For any non-communication related events
 
===Typical information found in an IRI record===
 
* Record type (Start, Continue, End, Report)
* LIID (unique identifier of the intercepted target assigned by an agency)
* CIN (communication identity number)
* Operator identifier
* Direction (target is originating, or terminating)
* Call state (idle, setup, connected)
* Duration of ring and conversation states
* Calling / called party numbers
* Release reason
* CC link state (setup, active, released, lack of resources)
* CC link release reason
 
==IRI records encoding==
* IRI records are encoded in ASN.1 format
* ASN.1 IDs and objects hierarchy for encoding IRI records is provided by ETSI specifications
 
==IRI records values and files specification==
* IRI records values can be
** Mandatory in each record
** In one record only for the whole call
** optional (in some records only, or none at all)
* IRI record files can
** Contain only one IRI record (one file per record)
** Contain multiple IRI records (grouped)
 
==IRI records uploading to the agency==
* As files, using the FTP protocol
* Telcobridges supports SFTP as file transfer method as well
