<p>The invention includes a method and apparatus for exchanging messages between user devices served by a premises gateway and components of a core IMS network. A method for propagating messages toward a core IMS network includes receiving, at a premises gateway, a message from a user device that is intended for the core IMS network and is formatted according to a first protocol, identifying the first protocol according to which the received message is formatted, translating the message from being formatted according to the first protocol to being formatted according to a second protocol, and propagating the message formatted according to the second protocol toward the core IMS network. A method for propagating messages toward to a user device includes receiving, at a premises gateway, a message from the core IMS network that is intended for a user device served by the premises gateway and is formatted according to a first protocol, identifying a second protocol associated with the user device for which the received message is intended, translating the message from being formatted according to the first protocol to being formatted according to a second protocol, and propagating the message formatted according to the second protocol toward the user device.</p> |
