Abstract
A method and system for enabling and managing multimedia group communications, particularly for mobile devices attached to a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-enabled network. The method and system provide a plug-and-play architecture for managing policy-based group communications. The method and system provide standardized set up and delivery of services, and can integrate different media types. Groups can be created on an ad hoc basis, and group services can be extended to mobile communication devices, such as cellular telephones. A single server architecture permits policies, such as group presence policies, to be implemented.
