Abstract:
A video consisting of data organized in the form of a plurality of images is transmitted in a communication network. The method comprises a step of coding images with motion compensation, which consists in compressing the images of the video and in creating dependencies between compressed images, a step of scheduling the transmission of packets representing the compressed images, which consists in sending the compressed images over the network in a selected order, and a step of controlling the rate of the video. At least one of reconsidering the selected order of sending already compressed but not yet transmitted images and deleting at least one compressed image is performed at the time of coding a new image. Furthermore, the dependencies between the new image to be compressed and the compressed images are selected by taking into account the reconsidered sending order at the time of coding the new image.
Abstract:
The access method comprises the following steps: i) receiving a request coming from a user for accessing at least one digital document, said request comprising an identifier (303) designating the digital document and an identifier (304) designating said user; ii) searching locally for at least one collection (C1) containing the identifier (303) of the document and the identifier (304) of the user, each collection (C1, C2) being stored locally in response to a positive verification with regard to at least one condition agreeing to supply the document according to at least one access right linked to the collection; and iii) in the case of a positive search, supplying said corresponding document (303) to said user (304) thus designated.
Abstract:
A method of processing a coded data stream of a current image on a receiving device, the data stream being organized into packets, comprises a step of detecting a lost packet.It further comprises: a step of estimating, prior to the decoding of the current image, an importance criterion of the lost packet, the importance criterion being determined from at least one decoded preceding image; and a step of requesting retransmission of the lost packet depending on said estimated importance criterion. Use in particular for improving the transmission of a video.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of managing the quantity of data transmitted by a transmission device over a telecommunication network, characterized in that the method comprises the steps, carried out by the transmission device, of: obtaining (E503), for at least a first and second data set that have to be transmitted over the telecommunication network, the quantity of data within each data set and the time constraint on each data set; determining (E504) the bitrate for transmission of the first data set in accordance with the time constraint on the first data set; determining (E504) the bitrate for transmission of the first and second data sets in accordance with the time constraint on the second data set; and selecting (E504) the maximum of the determined bitrates as a parameter for managing the quantity of data transmitted by the transmission device.
Abstract:
The method of transmitting data packets associated with an importance level comprises a step (305) of estimating available rate on the network. In case a variation is detected in estimated available rate greater than a first predetermined value, determination is made (309-317) of whether there is an increase in the round trip time on said network that is greater than a second predetermined value. If yes, the data packets are transmitted (319-325) at a rate lower than the estimated available rate.In embodiments, in case a variation is detected in estimated available rate greater than a first predetermined value and before the step of detecting an increase in the round trip time, a step (307) is carried out of transmitting packets of lower importance level than the average of said importance levels by using the current estimated available rate and the round trip time is determined on the basis of the sending of those packets.
Abstract:
This method allows the transmission of coded data representing a sequence of digital images. A predetermined quantity of this data is stored in a buffer before transmission over a communication network. The method comprises a step of determining a subset of data in the buffer to be transcoded, as a function of at least one quantity representing the bandwidth available for the communication network.
Abstract:
The object of the method and devices according to the invention is the optimization of the transmission of data packets, transmitted by several sources, in a network, when there is interference. After having received a data packet and determined its source, this data packet is analyzed in order to determine whether data packets transmitted by this source have been lost. If data packets have been lost, the type of transmission error related to the source is determined and the transmission parameters are modified according to the type of error determined. The parameters for determining the type of errors are related to the comparison of the global loss rate for data packets related to this source with the global loss rate for data packets related to all the sources.
Abstract:
The method according to the invention is implemented in a telecommunications system comprising at least one server device (11, 13, 14) able to hold digital data and to receive at least one request (RQ) for supplying the holding server device and at least one client device (11 to 14) able to store a replica of the digital data of the holding server device and at least one replication server (11, 13 to 16) able to store a replica of the digital data of the holding server device to supply the digital data replica to the client device. The method comprises the step, executed in a data server at the time of the reception by it of a request to obtain digital data coming from a client, of creating, on the basis of predetermined information relating to the servers and/or to the clients, a replica of the requested digital data in said replication server device after the reception of the request for an indirect supply by a replication server. The method is particularly adapted to implementation in a P2P network.
