One embodiment of the invention pertains to a method for allocating bandwidth in a communications network, characterized in that it comprises steps for: a) determining a subset of elementary networks from a set of possible elementary networks in a communications network, the elementary networks of the subset each being capable of simultaneously implementing a elementary network encoding scheme; b) determining at least one critical destination node in the communications network; c) allocating at least one bandwidth portion released by an application of the elementary network encoding scheme in at least one elementary network of the subset, for a transmission of at least one additional data unit to the at least one critical destination node.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of resource reservation in the context of the transmission of a data content on a transmission path between a source device and a sink device belonging to a communications network. Said network comprises plurality of subnets interconnected by at least one interconnection device possessing at least two communications interfaces connected to said subnets.

Abstract:
An information packet transmission device for a communication system has a transmission part and a reception part, at least one of the transmission or reception parts having a turbocoder, and an external interleaver upstream of the turbocoder. The turbocoder preferentially has an interleaver, and a deinterleaver of the “x to xe” type. The external interleavers are of the row column or column row type.
Abstract:
A method is proposed for managing a distribution of bandwidth in a communications network by means of a slave node of the network, said network comprising a set of nodes.The slave node is such that it performs steps for: determining a coarse representation and a detailed representation of the distribution of the bandwidth in said network, as a function of a piece or pieces of information relative to conditions of transmission in said network and/or relative to applications needs of transmission; receiving a coarse reference representation of the distribution of bandwidth in said network, coming from a master node of said network; comparing said determined coarse representation and said reference coarse representation; should said coarse representations be identical, applying said determined detailed representation; if not, applying said coarse reference representation.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to the optimization of an access to a medium in wireless networks which can be accessed by a plurality of nodes, each node of the plurality of nodes using a medium access mechanism of the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance type based on a computation of a backoff value. A specific value is associated with each node of a set of nodes of the plurality of nodes, the specific value of a node being known by the other nodes of the set of nodes. According to the invention, a backoff value is determined (505, 510) for each node of the set of nodes, in each node of the set of nodes, the backoff value associated with a node being determined as a function of the specific value associated with that node.

Abstract:
A method for the management of resources for transmission compliant with a communications protocol, in a communications network, of a first data stream between a source device (101, 102, 103) and at least one sink device (106), is implemented by a manager device and comprises step of a first allocation of a first value of bandwidth, called a reference value, for the transmission of the first stream. Such a method furthermore comprises the following steps: obtaining a piece of information representing a first temporary value of bandwidth for the transmission of the first stream, associated with a relevance time interval; making a second allocation, for a duration equal to the relevance time interval, of a second value, called a validated value, of bandwidth for the transmission of the first stream dependant on the first temporary value of bandwidth for the transmission of the first stream.
