Abstract:
A communication system which includes a terminal, a telecommunications network server able to provide a network service to the terminal; and an application server able to provide application services to the terminal via the network and the network server. The terminal and the network server share and store a same network root key kept secret from the application server and are configured to generate, on the basis of this network root key, a network session key used to sign and verify the integrity of messages exchanged on the network between the terminal and the network server. The terminal and the application server share and store a same application root key kept secret from the network server, and configured to generate, on the basis of this application root key, an application session key used to encrypt and decrypt messages exchanged between the terminal and this application server via the network.
Abstract:
A notification method is implemented by at least one first device of a plurality of devices forming nodes of a network. The first device is capable of issuing, to at least one second device of the plurality and/or of receiving from at least one second device of the plurality, at least one data message via a first communication link. The notification method is designed to transmit, by using said first device, at least one notification message signaling at least one operation relating to at least one said data message and implemented by a functional entity of said first device. The notification message includes an identifier of said first device, an identifier of said functional entity and an identifier of said data message. Also provided is a method for processing notification messages, a device forming a node of a network and a processing device that respectively implement the notification method and the processing method.
Abstract:
A data communication method implemented by a sensor node of a telecommunications network including a plurality of sensor nodes and a concentrator node, which share a communication channel. The method includes: selecting a time interval in a contention window including a plurality of time intervals and preceding a transmission period including a plurality of transmission intervals; emitting a request signal during the selected time interval to the concentrator node; receiving a response signal carrying encoded information representing an ordered combination of the intervals marked during which the signals were received by the concentrator node; determining a transmission rank according to a number of intervals marked by the concentrator node; and deciding to emit data to the concentrator node in the transmission period when the transmission rank is lower than or equal to the number of intervals of the transmission period.

Abstract:
A transmission device suitable for communicating via a radio link with a gateway equipment of a telecommunications network and configured to communicate with a management server. The device is able to obtain authentication data associated with a terminal configured such that it connects with an application server to: set up a communication session with the terminal; to transmit session set-up data to the management server in order to register the terminal in a list of connected terminals; and to receive and retransmit a data message transmitted by the terminal or by the application server. A transmission method implemented by the transmission device. A management server and a management method implemented by the server.
Abstract:
A notification method is performed by at least a first device of a plurality of devices forming nodes of a network. The first device is suitable for sending and/or receiving at least one data message via a first communication link to and/or from at least one second device of the plurality. The notification method is adapted to the first device transmitting at least one notification message signaling at least one predetermined operation relating to at least one instance of the data message and performed by a functional entity of the first device, the notification message including an identifier of the first device, an identifier of the functional entity, an identifier of the operation, and an identifier common to all of the instances of the data message within the first device. Also provided are a method and device for modeling the network from the notification messages.
Abstract:
A control device for controlling the operation of a wireless communication device is described. The wireless communication device includes an antenna, a front-end module configured for transmitting and receiving signals according to a time-division multiplexing scheme, and switching means which can switch at least one transmission or reception chain of said front-end module between first and second modes in which the processing chain presents different impedances to the antenna. The control device can be integrated in the communication device and includes a control module to control the switching means so that the processing chain alternates between said first and second modes so that the communication device backscatters an ambient signal.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for accessing data related to at least one operation implemented by at least one node device (N1) of a network (R) from a plurality of node devices (N1, N2, N3) of said network, which are capable of communicating via a first communication link (L1). According to the invention, the access method is suitable for receiving a message through which a node device signals, to an observation device, an operation implemented by said node device; for recording at least one piece of information on said operation; and, upon receiving a request from a terminal via a second communication link, for transmitting a response developed from at least part of the recorded information. The invention also relates to a data-transmission method. The invention further relates to an observation device (DT) and to a node device (N1) of a network which implement the access method and the transmission method, respectively.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device having a full-duplex architecture is described, the device comprising phase shifters integrated into transmitting chains and receiving chains, respectively, which are connected to basic antennae. Each transmitting/receiving chain is associated with a receiving/transmitting chain so as to form a pair of chains, with a connection circuit arranged between the chains of each pair. The device also includes at least one control module configured to control switching means and to activate/deactivate analogue means and digital means for cancelling interference and all or some of the transmitting/receiving chains so that the device is able to alternate between at least two different modes: a first full-duplex transmitting/receiving mode, and a second mode in which the device is able to reflect one or more transmission beams.
