Method and system for service discovery and deployment in an IP multimedia network

An IP multimedia residential gateway (IMRG) determines device capabilities and service priority profiles of client devices. The determined device capabilities and service priority profiles, comprising service classes and service class priorities, may be transmitted to the service managers for service deployment. The service managers may provide services to client devices based on corresponding device capabilities and service priority profiles. The IMRG may track device capabilities and service priority profiles for self-configuration. Available services supported by networks may be discovered during network discovery. The discovered services are announced to the client devices. The IMRG may communicate content of the announced services with the client devices based on corresponding device capabilities and service priority profiles. The service managers schedules services for the client devices based on corresponding device capabilities and service priority profiles, and may communicate content of the scheduled services to the client devices via the IMRG.
