Claim:
1. A method for policy updating performed by an access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF) server, the method comprising: receiving, by the ANDSF server, location information for a user equipment device (UE) from a Long Term Evolution (LTE) Evolved Packet Core (EPC) function, the location information being received from the LTE EPC function rather than from the UE; generating, by the ANDSF server, a machine readable, transmittable, and storable policy based on the location information received for the UE; sending, by the ANDSF server, the policy to the UE via a first access network, wherein the policy includes an identification of an access point for use by the UE to access a second access network other than the first access network.
