Publication number: 20150173061Abstract: A transmission of information is established between an emitting mobile terminal and at least one receiving mobile terminal of the same group of terminals pertaining to a shared-resource radiocommunication network operating in a direct mode includes the step of emitting by the emitting terminal of a transmission request to inform the other receiving terminals of the group of its intention to transmit information. Each receiving terminal of the group then determines whether, on the basis of at least one pre-defined selection strategy, it will accept the transmission of information. If it will, the receiving terminal transmits a return signal comprising data relating to said emitting terminal to the other terminals of the group. Then, the emitting terminal checks whether it respects the transmission conditions. If it does, the emitting terminal transmits the information to the other terminals in its group via at least one resource allocated to the group.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2013Publication date: June 18, 2015Applicant: Cassidian SASInventors: Christophe Gruet, Laurent Pison, Eric Georgeaux

Publication number: 20140348042Abstract: The object of the present invention is a method for selecting a terminal of an HD-FDD duplexing model. The invention enables the complexity of a switch of a terminal operating in an HD-FDD duplexing mode, at a level equivalent to that of a terminal operating in a TDD or FDD duplexing mode, to be reduced. To do this, thanks to the invention, it is provided that the terminal operating in an HD-FDD duplexing mode receives notifications or information via a network that programs the HD-FDD terminals through different uplink and downlink transmission models illustrated in FIG. 1. It may also be provided that the terminal operating in an HD-FDD duplexing mode has knowledge of the HD-FDD model to use for its communication. In this event, the complexity of its communication is reduced to the same level as that of a terminal operating in TDD mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2012Publication date: November 27, 2014Applicant: CASSIDIAN SASInventors: Christophe Gruet, Eric Georgeaux
