  • Patent number: 9642096
    Abstract: A communication device comprises an RF interface (20) and a CPU (10). The RF interface (20) has a physical channel PhCh to exchange radio messages on a wireless network. The physical channel PhCh is coupled with at least two logical channels LCi. The CPU (10) is connected to the RF interface (20) to provide at least two services Si on the wireless network. Each service Si is associated with a logical channel LCi of the RF interface (20). The CPU (10) associates a transmission parameter Pi with each service Si and sends the said transmission parameter Pi to the logical channel LCi associated with the service Si. The RF interface (20) configures the physical channel PhCh on the basis of the transmission parameter Pi depending on the logical channel LCi under transmission.

  • Patent number: 9635022
    Abstract: The invention is a method for allowing a user to establish a secure session between a device and a server by using a username/password associated with the user. The user provides the username for the device. In response to a message comprising the username, the server opens a session and generates an identifier of the session and sends the identifier to the device. The identifier is transmitted to a machine distinct from the device. The user provides the password for the machine. The machine sends an authenticating message to the server, the authenticating message comprises the identifier and an authenticating data generated from the password. The server sends a result message reflecting the result of the authenticating data checking to the device.

  • Patent number: 9615244
    Abstract: A first device stores a subscription manager and at least two subscriptions. A first subscription is active and a second subscription is non-active. A second device sends a request for switching to the second subscription. The subscription manager sets a first variable relating to a next active subscription to the second subscription. The subscription manager sends to the first device a message requesting the first device to re-launch an execution of the subscription manager and to read data. The first device sends to the subscription manager a message including a command for re-launching an execution of the subscription manager. The subscription manager de-activates, based upon the first variable value, the first subscription. The subscription manager activates, based upon the first variable value, the second subscription, and sends to the first device operating system data relating to the second subscription, as a current active subscription.
