Abstract
A method for providing location information for a wireless device in a communication system is provided. The method comprises receiving a usage data record for the wireless device at an access node, and providing the usage data record to an authentication node. The method further comprises creating a location record from the usage data record when the authentication node determines that the communication system does not require the usage data record, populating the location record with one or more location attributes associated with the wireless device, and providing the location record to the authentication node.
