Abstract: A message treatment process executed by a user's terminal when a message is being drafted is disclosed. The terminal has access to a corpus of messages containing at least one message sent by that user to at least one recipient user. In one aspect, at least one part of the message drafted by the user is retrieved. Concerning at least one message in the corpus, a semantic similarity score is calculated with a view to match at least part of the draft message with one message at least in the predetermined corpus of messages. At least one message is selected in the corpus of messages, based on the semantic similarity score calculated for a least one message in the corpus, then at least part of a previously received reply to at least one selected message is replicated.

Each activity is performed by determined actions that can be triggered by any of the users of the group. The actions includes at least creating, modifying, or deleting a given activity content. Action requests relating to an activity under consideration and coming from the terminals of the users of the group are processed in a sequential manner in the order of their arrival.

Such a method further includes receiving, by the client terminal, a piece of information relating to an authentic address associated with the delivery server, the information being sent by a server of the content supplier, and determining the validity of the received address with respect to the authentic address on the basis of the information relating to the authentic address.

Abstract: Coding and decoding methods for coding and decoding a coded data stream representing at least one image split into blocks. The method includes, for a current block, determining if the current block is coded according to an intra coding mode or another coding mode, the intra coding mode using an intra prediction mode selected from a group of intra prediction modes, according to an intra prediction mode associated with a neighbouring block of the current block. When coded according to the intra coding mode, an intra prediction mode in the group is determined for the current block, according to an intra prediction mode associated with a previously decoded block of the image. The current block is decoded according to the determined intra prediction mode associated with the current block. When coded according to the other coding mode, the current block is decoded according to the other coding mode.

Abstract: Wireless communication devices, systems, and methods for establishing latency-critical services. When a mobile station attempts to transmit a packet on a contention-based multiple-access radio channel without a prior reservation of channel resources, the mobile station notifies the base station of its attempt to randomly access the channel. The notification is performed on dedicated channel resources. Upon receipt of the notification of a mobile station's access attempt, the base station can know that a mobile station is the origin of the colliding packets, and can therefore correctly manage the retransmission of packets not received.

Abstract: A method for transmitting consecutive messages forming a frame for a telecommunication system. The system has M sources, optionally L relays, and a destination, M?2, L?0. An orthogonal multiple-access multiple-relay channel scheme is used between the M sources and the L relays with a maximum number of M+T max time intervals per transmitted frame, including M intervals allocated during a first phase to the consecutive transmission of the M sources and T used intervals for at least one cooperative transmission allocated during a second phase to at least one node selected according to a selection strategy. T used?Tmax. The link adaptation implemented by the destination is slow and maximizes average utility metrics under constraint of an average individual BLER for each source. The utility metrics include average spectral efficiency tied to the strategy for selecting the nodes intervening during the second phase.
