Per-session invocation of priority services based upon network available information

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a system comprising a processor, a policy;
• determining, by the system, based upon the policy, an anonymity treatment that should be applied to a communications session between an originating party and a destination party;
• in accordance with the anonymity treatment, determining, by the system, whether location information should be suppressed for the originating party, the destination party, or both the originating party and the destination party;
• in response to determining that the location information should be suppressed for the originating party, the destination party, or both the originating party and the destination party,
• generating, by the system, based upon the anonymity treatment, instructions directed to at least one location node responsible for providing the location information associated with the originating party, the destination party, or both the originating party and the destination party, and
• sending, by the system, the instructions to the at least one location node, wherein the instructions instruct the at least one location node that the location information should be suppressed;
• determining, by the system, whether an originating party number associated with the originating party, a destination party number associated with the destination party, or both the originating party number and the destination party number should be translated;
• in response to determining that the originating party number, the destination party number, or both the originating party number and the destination party number should be translated, generating, by the system, a query directed to a translation database, wherein the query requests translation of the originating party number, the destination party number, or both the originating party number and the destination party number into an alternate originating party number, an alternate destination party number, or both the alternate originating party number and the alternate destination party number;
• receiving, by the system, a query response from the translation database, wherein the query response comprises the alternate originating party number, the alternate destination party number, or both the alternate originating party number and the alternate destination party number;
• and
• providing, by the system, the alternate originating party number, the alternate destination party number, or both the alternate originating party number and the alternate destination party number to a network node that is configured to handle, at least in part, the communications session.

A non-transitory computer storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a policy;
• determining, based upon the policy, an anonymity treatment that should be applied to a communications session between an originating party and a destination party;
• in accordance with the anonymity treatment, determining whether location information should be suppressed for the originating party, the destination party, or both the originating party and the destination party
• in response to determining that the location information should be suppressed for the originating party, the destination party, or both the originating party and the destination party,
• generating, based upon the anonymity treatment, instructions directed to at least one location node responsible for providing the location information associated with the originating party, the destination party, or both the originating party and the destination party, and
• sending the instructions to the at least one location node, wherein the instructions instruct the at least one location node that the location information should be suppressed;
• determining whether an originating party number associated with the originating party, a destination party number associated with the destination party, or both the originating party number and the destination party number should be translated;
• in response to determining that the originating party number, the destination party number, or both the originating party number and the destination party number should be translated, generating a query directed to a translation database, wherein the query requests translation of the originating party number, the destination party number, or both the originating party number and the destination party number into an alternate originating party number, an alternate destination party number, or both the alternate originating party number and the alternate destination party number;
• receiving a query response from the translation database, wherein the query response comprises the alternate originating party number, the alternate destination party number, or both the alternate originating party number and the alternate destination party number, and
• providing the alternate originating party number, the alternate destination party number, or both the alternate originating party number and the alternate destination party number to a network node that is configured to handle, at least in part, the communications session.
