    摘要: A method of registering a mobile terminal in a mobile communication network via a base station, an access link between the base station and the core of the network being switched from a normal mode of operation to a degraded mode of operation. The method is implemented by a local mobility management entity and includes: receiving an attachment request, retransmitted by the base station and originating from the mobile terminal, the request including an identifier of the mobile terminal, dispatching, to an agent mobility management item, a request for security information specific to the mobile terminal, the request including the identifier of the mobile terminal, receiving a response to the request for security information, the response including security information specific to the mobile terminal, the security information originating from a server of subscribers of the network, and authenticating the terminal by using the security information received.

    摘要: A security system makes secure exchanges between a services platform and a communicating thing, which includes a control device. The system further includes a server, referred to as a “mediation” server, which receives a message, referred to as a “first” message, from the services platform, encrypts the first message, and sends the encrypted first message to the communicating thing. The communicating thing is also fitted with an IC card that is distinct from the control device and that decrypts the encrypted first message and sends the decrypted first message to the control device. The encryption and decryption operations are performed by at least one secret key shared between the mediation server and the IC card.

    摘要: A management method is described, the management method implemented by a core network entry device. The method comprises, for at least one terminal connected to the mobile access network via an access point, following the receipt of an NAS request from the terminal, detecting whether a contention period is associated with this terminal. If not, a contention period to be applied for sending NAS requests to the network core is associated with and transmitted to the terminal. If a contention time is associated with the terminal and has not been respected by the terminal a temporary identifier allocated to the terminal for communicating with the network core is sent to the terminal via the access point, and a control message comprising at least a part of the temporary identifier is sent to the access point, the control message requiring blocking by the access point of all or part of the requests sent by a terminal which contains at least one part of the temporary identifier.

    摘要: A method for multiple attachment of a mobile terminal to access points of a plurality of access points to at least one cellular network. The method is implemented by the terminal and includes: reception of messages diffused by access points of the plurality of access points, including an identifier relating to the pertaining of a resource used by the respective access point, called a GRP identifier, to a shared risk group; first attachment of the terminal to a first access point of the plurality of access points; and second attachment of the terminal to a second access point of the plurality of access points, selected according to the GRP identifier thereof and the GRP identifier of the first access point.

    摘要: A method for transmitting in a communication network uplink data from an application module in a user terminal. The method includes: determining, by the user terminal, if a correspondence exists between an application module providing at least one uplink packet and at least one rule designating a network slice instantiation to be used for transmitting uplink packets in the communication network; and in response to a determination by the user terminal that the application module providing at least one uplink packet corresponds to a rule designating a network slice instantiation to be used for transmitting the uplink packet in the communication network, transmitting the at least one uplink packet from the user terminal to an entity for access to a user plane of the designated network slice instantiation.

    摘要: A method for transmitting data between a network node of a mobile communication network and a mobile terminal, implemented by the network node after receiving a data packet intended for the mobile terminal. The method includes: sending an alert message to the mobile terminal after receiving the data packet; receiving in response a service request from the mobile terminal; determining in accordance with a parameter received during a phase of attaching the mobile terminal to the network, a channel among a data transport channel and a signaling channel of the mobile network; when the data-transport channel is to be used, establishing a data-transport channel between the mobile terminal and the network node and transmitting the data packet via the data-transport channel; and when the signaling channel is to be used, inserting the data to be transmitted into a signaling message and transmitting the signaling message towards the mobile terminal.

    摘要: A method for managing a standby state of a mobile terminal in a data packet network. The method includes: upon opening a connectivity session for a mobile terminal, a mobility management entity of the network receives a list of areas, known as a “PRA list”, configured according to a given service and a location of the mobile terminal; when the mobile terminal switches from a “connected” mode to a “standby” mode, the mobile terminal receives the “PRA-list” of areas from the mobility management entity via a network access point; when the mobile terminal enters one of the areas included in the “PRA-list” of areas, it switches from the “standby” mode to the “connected” mode, and transmits a notification to the mobility management entity via a network access point.

    摘要: A method and device for detecting the reachability of a terminal previously served by a first access device of a registration area of a communication network. The first access device is unable to manage sleep and waking periods of the terminal. The terminal is then served by a second device of the registration area, which is able to manage the periods. The method is implemented by a management entity of the network, which has not been informed of the change of access device. The method includes: exchanging messages with the terminal for registration and negotiation of the sleep and waking periods of the terminal; obtaining an item of information relating to data to be transmitted to the terminal; and sending a contact-establishment request message to the terminal during a determined waking period of the terminal.
