Abstract:
A method for synchronizing a plurality of servers of a communication network, which are capable of exchanging time-stamped data using a time reference. The method is implemented by a primary server of the plurality and includes: transmitting to the other servers, called secondary servers, an initialization message containing an identifier of the primary server, a data item resulting from execution of an algorithm for selecting the primary server from the plurality of servers, and a piece of transmission time information on the initialization message; receiving from at least one secondary server a message acknowledging the transmitted initialization message; and validating a synchronization challenge comprising a difference between a recorded transmission time reference and the piece of transmission time information on the initialization message. The piece of transmission time information replaces the recorded time reference for the time-stamping of the data exchanged between the servers once the validation is complete.
Abstract:
A method of managing roaming of a mobile terminal in a communication network comprising a plurality of access points and an access points discovery server adapted for providing the mobile terminal with a list of network access points to which the mobile terminal can connect is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method comprises the following processes implemented by the access points discovery server: recovery, from a credits management server, of a credits usage profile associated with the mobile terminal and generation of the list of access points as a function of said credits usage profile.
Abstract:
A method for managing telecommunications resources dynamically allocated to a plurality of telecommunications operators is disclosed. At least one module for centralized management of the resources carries out: receiving a request for resources emitted by a requesting module representing one of the plurality of telecommunications operators, referred to as a requesting operator, to the at least one module for centralized management of the resources; and sending, to the requesting module and in response to the request, at least one offer of resources. The at least one offer of resources comprises: a piece of common objective information, representing a resource management objective common to the plurality of telecommunications operators; and/or at least one piece of reliability information from at least one other of the plurality of telecommunications operators, referred to as an offering operator, proposing the at least one offer of resources.
Abstract:
A method for managing resources of a converged fixed access and mobile radio telecommunications network, some of the resources being implemented in a virtualized and remote form in the network, optical resources of the network being allocated between an optical router and a plurality of optical modems of the network is disclosed. A module for centralized management of the mobile radio resources of the network implements receiving a performance indicator for a mobile radio part of the network transmitted by a base station of the network connected to one of the optical modems and/or by a module of remote virtualized radio functions in the network; estimating the optical resource requirements of the mobile radio part from the performance indicator, providing information representative of the optical resource requirements; and transmitting the information of the optical resource requirements to a module for centralized management of the fixed access and optical resources.
Abstract:
A method for managing resources of a converged fixed access and mobile radio telecommunications network is disclosed. Each operator of a plurality of mobile operators has at least one base station connected to a mobile radio part of the network. According to such a method, a centralized resource allocation management module carries out: receiving at least one request for resources, called mobile client request, emitted either by a mobile radio resource management module of each of the mobile operators, or by a first centralized resource request management module from at least one mobile radio service request previously received from the mobile radio resource management module of each of the mobile operators; and sending at least one resource allocation offer to the mobile radio resource management modules according to the at least one mobile client request and at least one predetermined resource allocation offer rule.
Abstract:
A method of managing mobility of a mobile terminal in a communication network comprising a plurality of access points and an access points discovery server adapted for providing the mobile terminal with a list of the network access points to which the mobile terminal can connect is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method comprises recovery, by the access points discovery server, of a velocity vector of the mobile terminal, and generation, by the access points discovery server, of the list of access points as a function of said velocity vector.
Abstract:
A method is described for processing a data transport service in a virtual data space deployed on a communications infrastructure, the virtual data space comprising a plurality of sites each comprising a communication server, also referred to as a connector, capable of hosting a data item or an application for processing the data. The method is implemented by an optimisation entity capable of communicating with the connector and comprises receiving a request for deploying the data transport service from a data management agent; obtaining a connectivity parameter with respect to the communication infrastructure of a connector of a site among the plurality of servers, the connector contributing to the data transport service of the received request; and determining at least one data path in the virtual data space, the at least one path comprising an ordered series of connectors selected according to the obtained connectivity parameter.

Abstract:
A method for temporarily making available an access resource of a local area network of a client of a first operator to at least one second operator. The local area network is connected to a communication infrastructure of the first operator. The method is implemented by a configuration entity of the first operator and includes: transmitting an offer message, containing at least one item of service data, offering to make the at least one access resource available, to the at least one second operator; receiving a request message requesting the at least one access resource be made available, created by a management equipment of the at least one second operator from the received at least one item of data; and transmitting a configuration message for configuring at least one parameter of the at least one access resource, triggered following the received request message.
