First Claim
1. A method performed by a network system communicatively coupled to a wireless device by a wireless access network, the network system including a network element corresponding to a network element destination, the method comprising:
- providing at least a portion of a device policy to a service processor on the wireless device, the device policy comprising a service usage activity classification and information identifying the network element destination,wherein the device policy is configured to assist the service processor in detecting wireless device traffic associated with a service activity,identifying the service activity as being included in the service usage activity classification, anddirecting or routing the wireless device traffic associated with the service activity over the wireless access network based on the information identifying the network element destination;
is providing a network element policy to the network element corresponding to the network element destination, the network element policy comprising an accounting policy or a control policy;
detecting, at the network element, traffic associated with the wireless device; and
applying the network element policy at the network element to the traffic associated with the wireless device.
