  • Publication number: 20150173061
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20150111590
    Abstract: A telecommunications network, especially an LTE type network, is adapted to a change in configuration. The telecommunications network includes at least a first transmission device, of base station or transmission relay type, and a second transmission device, of base station or transmission relay type. There is no radio link in existence between the first transmission device and the second transmission device before the change in configuration. The process for change includes: detecting a change in the configuration of the telecommunications network; allocating radio resources in the communications frames of the first communications element for determination of the transmission quality with the second communications element; and establishing a radio link between the first transmission device and the second transmission device if the determined transmission quality is advantageous. The process is implemented by a telecommunications networking infrastructure and by a transmission device.

  • Publication number: 20140348042
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20140341147
    Abstract: Radio resources are dynamically allocated in a shared band communication system operating in direct mode (DMO). The communication system includes terminals organized in groups. Each group is allocated a resource from a number of resources available within the communication system. This process includes allocating to the group at least one other further resource from the number of resources until an attempted access to the further resource from the group to which the further resource had been allocated has been detected.

  • Patent number: 8873670
    Abstract: There is disclosed a method of inserting a secondary stream of binary information into a main symbol stream of at least one standard digital modulation. The stream to be transmitted resulting from the insertion of the secondary stream in the main stream is a symbol stream of a modified digital modulation. The stream to be transmitted has the same symbol rate as the main stream. The sequence of symbols of the stream to be transmitted is encoded according, cumulatively, to a first condition over at least two consecutive symbols of the main stream, on the one hand; and to a second condition on a current bit or a plurality of current bits of the secondary stream, on the other hand.

  • Publication number: 20140244172
    Abstract: A guidance system (SG) for an individual (IND) moving in an unknown environment establishes a guidance loop (B) between a measurement module (MM) placed on the individual and a remote guidance platform (PG). In the measurement module, a means (CP) collects measurement data (DM) that are transmitted by another means (UC1) of transmission to the guidance platform via a first communication channel. Then, at the guidance platform, a means (UT2) determines the tactical position data (DST) from the transmitted measurement data (DM), and another means (UC2) transmits determined guidance data (DG) from the tactical position data to a communication device of the individual by means of a second communication channel (R2), thus closing the guidance loop.

  • Publication number: 20140021785
    Abstract: The supply of an electric equipment material (5), such as a telecommunications station, is implemented in priority by an intermittent power source (6), and makes use as much as possible of batteries (31) and as little use as possible of a fuel cell electrochemical generating unit (4) for increasing the life of the latter. The equipment and the generating unit are supplied by the source so as to produce and stock fuel in the generating unit when the power of the source exceeds the operation power of the equipment and the batteries are in full charge. Destocking the fuel in the generating unit, supplying the equipment by the generating unit and charging the batteries by the generating unit are carried out as soon as the power of the batteries is at a discharge threshold and until the batteries reach the full charge.
