The method operates in a system including a switching center, a base station responsive to the switching center and a mobile communication unit responsive to the base station, and includes receiving a first message from the mobile communication unit; in response to the first message, determining whether the mobile communication unit is fraudulent; based on the determination, receiving a second message at the switching center from a dedicated fraud indicator wireline connection; and in response to the second message, terminating the wireless communication of the mobile communication unit.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION According to an aspect of the present invention, the foregoing needs are addressed by a method for terminating a wireless communication of a mobile communication unit which operates in a system including a switching center, a base station responsive to the switching center and the mobile communication unit responsive to the base station.
The method includes receiving a first message from the mobile communication unit; in response to the first message, determining whether the mobile communication unit is fraudulent; based on the determination, receiving a second message at the switching center from a dedicated fraud indicator wireline connection; and in response to the second message, terminating the wireless communication of the mobile communication unit.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a method for terminating a wireless communication of the mobile communication unit operates in a communication system including a first switching center, a second switching center responsive to the first switching center, a second base station responsive to the second switching center and the mobile communication unit responsive to the second base station.
The method includes providing a system for identifying a fraudulent mobile communication unit, the system comprising a signal capture device in communication with the second base station, an intelligent peripheral responsive to the signal capture device, a service node responsive to the intelligent peripheral, and a dedicated wireline connection coupling the service node and the first switching center; receiving at the base station a first message from the mobile communication unit; determining a radio frequency signal characteristic of the mobile communication unit by the signal capture device; receiving the radio frequency signal characteristic by the intelligent peripheral; determining whether the mobile communication unit is fraudulent; based on the determination, receiving a second message at the first switching center from the dedicated wireline connection, the second message identifying the mobile communication unit as fraudulent; in response to the second message, receiving a third message at the second switching center from the first switching center; and in response to the third message, terminating the communication of the mobile unit by the base station
