Abstract: A method for managing multimedia services includes transmitting a first request by a first device to a communication network for reserving a sub-channel of a communication channel for a multimedia service. The first device transmits the first request when the multimedia service is initiated at a second device. The first device communicates with the first communication network by way of the communication channel. The first device receives data associated with the multimedia service from the second device. The first device receives a first acknowledgement from the first communication network. The first acknowledgement indicates a reservation of the sub-channel for the multimedia service. The first device maps the multimedia service to the sub-channel based on the first acknowledgement. The first device transmits the data over the sub-channel, thereby managing a quality of service for the multimedia service.
