Communication session permissions in wireless communication systems

A method of conveying location information of one or more potential session participants to a communication session, comprising:

• receiving a request to initiate a communication session with at least a first party;
• determining location information associated with a second party;
• generating a message for announcing the communication session to at least the first party;
• configuring the message to include the determined location information;
• and
• sending the configured message to at least the first party.

An apparatus for determining whether to permit a call to an access terminal, comprising:

• means for determining that a second party is available for a communication session between a first party and the second party;
• means for obtaining location information associated with a call permissions rule set, the call permissions rule set including at least one rule related to whether a communication session between the first and second parties is permissible, the at least one rule including one or more location-based rules;
• means for obtaining location information associated with the second party;
• and
• means for determining whether to permit the communication session based on the obtained location information associated with the call permissions rule set and the obtained location information associated with the second party.

A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions, which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations for determining whether to permit a call to an access terminal, the instructions comprising:

• instructions to determine that a second party is available for a communication session between a first party and the second party;
• instructions to obtain location information associated with a call permissions rule set, the call permissions rule set including at least one rule related to whether a communication session between the first and second parties is permissible, the at least one rule including one or more location-based rules;
• instructions to obtain location information associated with the second party;
• and
• instructions to determine whether to permit the communication session based on the obtained location information associated with the call permissions rule set and the obtained location information associated with the second party.

An apparatus for determining whether to permit a call to an access terminal, comprising:

• logic configured to determine that a second party is available for a communication session between a first party and the second party;
• logic configured to obtain location information associated with a call permissions rule set, the call permissions rule set including at least one rule related to whether a communication session between the first and second parties is permissible, the at least one rule including one or more location-based rules;
• logic configured to obtain location information associated with the second party;
• and
• logic configured to determine whether to permit the communication session based on the obtained location information associated with the call permissions rule set and the obtained location information associated with the second party.
