20090141664Device and method for synchronizing radio access logic entities of a wireless communication network - A device is dedicated to synchronizing radio access logic entities each having a local clock and forming part of a wireless communication network capable of broadcasting and/or multicasting content-defining data packets between a broadcast and/or multicast source and mobile communication terminals, via logic entities. This device includes a calculation unit tasked with i) estimating, for each logic entity of a synchronization area of the network, the time, with respect to a reference clock when said entity received a selected packet from the broadcast and/or multicast source, then ii) determining, for each logic entity, a value that represents the time difference between its reception time and the latest reception time among those of the logic entities, and iii) ordering each logic entity to wait for a period of time equal to the value which was determined for it before retransmitting each packet received from the broadcast and/or multicast source to the terminals located within its synchronization area.06-04-2009
20110038297TRANSMISSION OF MULTICAST AND BROADCAST CONTENT AND METHOD THEREOF - The present invention provides a method of transmitting multicast and broadcast content in a mobile access network, the mobile access network comprising: at least one multicast-broadcast service zone with at least one Base Station, a Multicast-Broadcast server for each one of the multicast-broadcast service zones, the mobile access network coupled to a content distribution network, the content distribution network comprising a content server coupled to an JP multicast network, the content server being adapted for multicast and broadcast transmission, the method comprising the steps of: sending a first join request using a membership protocol for a multicast group from a Multicast-Broadcast server to the content distribution network; sending a second join request using the membership protocol and sending a first multicast IP packet from the multicast/broadcast content server to the multicast-broadcast server using a first multicast routing protocol. The method further comprises: encapsulating the first multicast IP packet into a second multicast IP packet; sending the second multicast IP packet to the local multicast group of the multicast-broadcast service zone using a second multicast routing protocol.02-17-2011

20090044228METHOD FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION RELATED TO AVAILABLE BROADCAST PROGRAMS IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORK - Disclosed is a method for providing information related to available broadcast programs, such as Electronic Program Guides or parts thereof, in a mobile communication network comprising a plurality of cells, with respective base stations. The cells with their base stations are part of a broadcast zone managed by a server. The server identifies the available broadcast programs and transmits the information via the base stations to access terminals that are serviced by those base stations. The base stations establish a specific EPG broadcast connection and transmit the information to the access terminals being serviced by them, over the specific EPG broadcast connection.02-12-2009
20090059833Wireless Multiple Connections and Method Thereof - The present invention provides a method for wireless transmission of a single packet flow from a network element. The method comprises establishing a first logical connection to a first wireless terminal for transmission of said single packet flow, determining at least one traffic parameter, establishing at least a second logical connection to the wireless terminal depending on said traffic parameter, for transmission of said single packet flow and transmitting the single packet flow using at least one of the first and second logical connections to the wireless terminal.03-05-2009

20100083033DEVICE AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY DETERMINING A NETWORK ELEMENT FOR REPLACING A FAILING NETWORK ELEMENT - A device (D), intended for working for at least one network (N), comprises i) an ontology agent (OA) storing at least one ontology defining representations of network elements and relations between these network elements, and ii) a processing means (PM) arranged, when a status of a network element indicates that the latter is failing, for accessing to the ontology agent (OA) to get the representation of the failing network element and relations between this failing network element and at least one other network element, then for determining for each of these other network elements a parameter value representative of a functional likeness with the failing network element from their respective ontology representations, and for determining amongst the other network elements the one offering the parameter value representative of the greatest functional likeness in order to propose to replace the failing network element with this determined network element.04-01-2010

20090240570DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION CONCERNING PRODUCTS OR SERVICES BY CORRELATION WITH SETS OF RULES - A device (D) is dedicated to the analysis of information concerning products and services. Said device (D) comprises analysis tools (MA) intended, in the event of reception of an identifier representing a product or service, to access a first set of data to identify such a product or service among them, as a function of the identifier received, then to access at least one source of information (SI) in order to research information therein about the identified product or service, then to determine from among the information thus researched whether the identified product or service satisfies a chosen set of at least one rule, and to deliver a message indicating at least the result of such determination.09-24-2009
