  • Patent number: 10375435
    Abstract: A method for programming a recording of a program by a digital television decoder. The decoder has a service plan including a plurality of services. The program to be recorded is broadcast on a first service. The decoder is aware of the first service, an identifier of the program to be recorded, and a theoretical start time of the program to be recorded. When the decoder receives a first standardized table from the first service, the decoder is put in a first operational mode in which the decoder starts recording the program based on the detection of an identifier of the program in the first standardized table, and, when the decoder detects no reception of the first standardized table, the decoder is put in a second operational mode in which the decoder starts recording the program based on the theoretical start time of the program.

  • Patent number: 10270684
    Abstract: A method for creating a supplementary subflow as a supplement to a subflow existing in a multipath network connection using a transport protocol suited to a multipath communication mode. The multipath network connection is implemented in a network comprising a source using said multipath network connection for communicating with a receiver via an intermediate network component. Following an opening of an intermediate communication path between the intermediate network component and the receiver, said intermediate network component implements the following steps: obtaining a packet intended for the source; creating a header representing a request to create said supplementary data packet subflow, the supplementary data packet subflow being intended to use the intermediate communication link; inserting said header in said packet; and transmitting said packet to the source so as to cause the initiation, by the source, of a procedure for creating said supplementary data packet subflow.

  • Publication number: 20190053180
    Abstract: A method for synchronising a first gateway of a LoRa network, intended to enable the first gateway to function according to the class B communication mode of the LoRaWAN protocol. The method relies on at least one reception of a synchronisation frame by the first gateway, each synchronisation frame having been transmitted by a second class B gateway in the LoRa network, equipped with synchronisation means and designated by a server. The first gateway uses an instant of reception of each synchronisation frame that it receives in order to synchronise beacon transmissions used in the implementation of the class B communication mode with beacon transmissions made by other class B gateways in the LoRa network.

  • Patent number: 10187139
    Abstract: A residential gateway wirelessly receives a message from a terminal device. The residential gateway forms part of a communication system comprising a plurality of residential gateways connected to a server for which said message is intended. The residential gateway determines whether said terminal device has previously been paired with said residential gateway. If such is the case, the residential gateway wirelessly transmits an acknowledgement to the terminal device and propagates the message to the server. Otherwise the residential gateway activates a timer of predetermined duration at the end of which, when no wirelessly-transmitted acknowledgement of said message has been detected, the residential gateway wirelessly transmits an acknowledgement to the terminal device and propagates the message to the server.
