Device assisted CDR creation, aggregation, mediation and billing
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a processor of a network device in communication with a wireless network, wherein the processor is configured to;
collect device generated service usage information for one or more devices in wireless communication on the wireless network; and
provide the device generated service usage information in a syntax and a communication protocol that can be used by other network devices to augment or replace network generated service usage information for the one or more devices in wireless communication on the wireless network; and
a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.

Abstract
Device assisted CDR creation, aggregation, mediation and billing is provided. In some embodiments, device assisted CDR creation, aggregation, mediation and billing for a wireless network includes collecting device generated service usage information for one or more devices in wireless communication on the wireless network; and providing the device generated service usage information in a syntax (e.g., a device assisted charging data record (CDR)) and a communication protocol (e.g., 3GPP, 3GPP2, or other communication protocols) that can be used by other network devices to augment or replace network generated service usage information for the one or more devices in wireless communication on the wireless network.
