Is a fake base station needed for IMSI catching?



If you read about cell phone tracking it looks an IMSI Catcher always uses a fake base station the get the phones IMSI. I don't understand why this is necessary.


Couldn't they just passively read the signal and copy the phones ID from it's communication?


From what I read the signal might be encrypted but can be broken in real time. So why the trouble of faking a complete base station.
