Abstract:
A communication method of the SMF type for a network of nodes including a multicast group. The method includes the steps, performed by a first node, of: determining a set of respective multipoint relays; determining the nodes for which the first node is a multipoint relay; determining a routing table including identifiers of destination nodes and corresponding identifiers of next-hop nodes; receiving a multicast packet sent from a sending node, where the first node is a multipoint relay; checking if, for each node identifier of the multicast group, the entry in the routing table that includes a destination node identifier corresponding to the node identifier of the multicast group contains a next-hop node identifier that corresponds to the sending node, and if the counter contained in the multicast packet respects a relation with a limit; and determining whether to retransmit the multicast packet, on the basis of the outcome of the checking step.

The invention regards a system of command and control and of aiming and firing for a military land vehicle equipped with at least one weapon. This system of command and control and of aiming and firing comprises: an external vision system for aiming and firing operationally associated with a weapon of the military vehicle; an external vision system for command and control; an aiming and firing user interface configured to control both the external vision system for aiming and firing and the associated weapon, and the external vision system for command and control; and a command and control user interface configured to control both the external vision system for command and control and the external vision system for aiming and firing and the associated weapon.
Abstract:
A method for estimating the noise of a two-photon entangled state, including generating pairs of photons; for each pair of photons, defining a first polarization measurement, associated with a first angle, and defining a second polarization measurement, associated with a second angle. The method includes generating a first string of polarization measurements and a first string of angles; generating a second string of polarization measurements and a second string of angles; generating a first uncorrelated substring, formed by the polarization measurements of the first string associated with angles that are different from the corresponding angles of the second string of angles; generating a second uncorrelated substring, formed by the polarization measurements of the second string associated with angles that are different from the corresponding angles of the first string of angles; and determining an estimate of the noise on the basis of the first and the second uncorrelated substrings.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an IF receiver that is able to solve the image band problem and, in particular, to reject any interfering signals so as to ensure correct demodulation of a received useful signal without having to interrupt the reception service. The receiver comprises a monitoring branch configured to monitor interference experienced at a plurality of intermediate frequencies usable in reception and select the intermediate reception frequency from the intermediate frequencies usable in reception on the basis of the interference monitoring carried out. Moreover, the monitoring unit is configured to carry out real-time monitoring of interference experienced at the currently used intermediate reception frequency and also at the other intermediate frequencies usable in reception and change, in real time, the used intermediate reception frequency on the basis of the real-time interference monitoring.
Abstract:
A method is provided for managing the spatial reuse of slots in a mobile network comprising several nodes Ni, said network comprising one or more Potentially Disruptive Nodes (PDN), said nodes Ni and PDN comprising a local table, a global table, and a summary of the global table comprising the interleaving of two sub-cycles: a first sub-cycle, the normal S-cycle, where S-SLOTs are all assigned statically and where each node has one or only one S-SLOT allocation, a second sub-cycle, the improved S-cycle, where each node has one S-SLOT assigned statically, and where for all nodes except PDN nodes, one or more additional S-SLOTs is assigned dynamically when topology makes it possible, dynamic S-SLOT allocation being equitably shared in a 2-hop neighbourhood, and determined by performing S-SLOT spatial reuse.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a device in the domain of AESA (“Active Electronically Scanned Array”) systems required for e.g. radar multifunctional systems with communication capabilities and electronic/analysis countermeasures, providing a constructive element for the realization of modular active radiating panels, which are economic and scalable depending on the system needs, to be used on multi-roles and multi-domains platforms. The architecture according to the invention presents a so-called “tile” architecture and uses a multilayer configuration incorporating the radiating elements, the control and supply controls, the transmitting/receiving (T/R) modules, the cooling system by using vertical interconnections, having a low cost and high integration.
