The method is implemented by an item of equipment of the network and includes: obtaining information relating to a call set-up request received by the communication network to the telephone number during an observation period of time subsequent to the suspension date; updating, according to the information relating to the call set-up request, information relating to an activity level of the telephone number in the communication network, the information relating to an activity level being representative of a number of requests to set-up a call to the telephone number received by the network for the given observation period and storing in a data table the information relating to an activity level of the telephone number in association with the telephone number.

Abstract: A content distribution network is made up of terminals and servers that are connected as a network and cooperate in order to make content or data available to users. In order to be able to control access to the content via certain terminals, a solution called “URL signing” has been discussed. A “URL signing” solution requires establishing an active connection between a terminal requesting content and an originating server associated with the requested content. The solution relates to a method for accessing content implemented by a cache server, thus dispensing with the need for an active connection between a terminal requesting content and the originating server associated with the requested content.

Abstract: A telecommunications method includes transmitting a multicarrier symbol constructed from points of a polar constellation that are modulated in blocks and controlling at least one phase rotation vector of one of the modulated blocks of points in order to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio of the transmitted multicarrier symbol.

Abstract: A method for managing an uninterrupted connection of a moving device to at least one attachment entity of at least one operator of a communication network. The method is implemented by a mediation entity capable of communicating with the at least one attachment entity. The method includes receiving a connection request comprising an identifier of the device and information relating to the movement of the device; determining at least one offer of connection to the at least one attachment entity on the basis of a communication feature, with the transmission of a proposal including the at least one determined connection offer. Determining, by the mediation entity, the connection of the device before its movement enables the movement of the device to be correlated with its connection and enables information relating to the operator or else to the mediation entity not to be disclosed.

Abstract: A method for operating a device includes the following, performed by a processing unit of the device: receiving a message signaling an incoming phone call from a calling party via a server; generating a ringing message including at least one additional parameter specifying an enriched ring-back tone to be played, as a function of at least a status information available to the device; and transmitting the ringing message to the server for playing to the calling party the enriched ring-back tone.

Abstract: A method for allocating resources on an uplink between a user terminal and a base station of a radio communication network multiplexing the data in resource blocks is disclosed. Such a method implements a standard allocation mode associated with a standard transmission mode of transmission by the terminal; and a priority allocation mode associated with a priority mode of transmission by the terminal. The network favors the priority allocation mode and can allocate to the terminal, according to the priority allocation mode, at least one resource block previously allocated according to the standard allocation mode, introducing a situation of allocation collision. In such a situation, the network implements a temporary allocation mode to allocate at least one replacement resource block in the standard transmission mode, implementing a number of signalling portions containing information on resource allocation greater than that used in the standard allocation mode.

Abstract: A method for migrating a virtualised function from a first server to a second server depending on data of technical environment parameters. The interfaces specified in the virtualised architectures effectively make it possible to deploy and manage virtualised functions with a view to implementing a service but these interfaces do not contain information relating to the data relating to the technical environment upon which the servers, the virtualised functions and subsequently the services and applications that rely on the virtualised functions are dependent. The migration method proposes virtualised architectures that take into consideration the technical environment parameters in order to move virtualised functions whose functioning could be impacted by a malfunction of one or more technical environment parameter(s).

Abstract: A method for managing communication between a first terminal and a second terminal in a communication network is disclosed. The method includes, at the first terminal: discovering at least one proxy node between the first terminal and the second terminal, the proxy node being capable of providing at least one service for the communication, and if the first terminal accepts the service, sending to the second terminal, in an establishment phase or during the communication, an encrypted proxy information message containing data identifying the at least one proxy node and a token intended to be provided to the second terminal by the at least one proxy node.

Abstract: A method for supplying and a method for obtaining, by a terminal, from a first user, a biometric signature of a second user. The terminal receives a radio signal transmitted by a transmitter device according to a near-field communication technology, via a channel using the electromagnetic wave conduction capabilities of the body of the second user when the second user comes into contact with or grazes a surface of the transmitter device and via a channel using the electromagnetic wave capabilities of the body of the first user when the first user comes into contact with or grazes the second user, and obtains, from this radio signal, the biometric signature of the second user. The biometric signature is stored in a secure memory space of the terminal in order to be used subsequently during an authentication of the first user.
