Abstract: A management method is described, the management method implemented by a core network entry device. The method comprises, for at least one terminal connected to the mobile access network via an access point, following the receipt of an NAS request from the terminal, detecting whether a contention period is associated with this terminal. If not, a contention period to be applied for sending NAS requests to the network core is associated with and transmitted to the terminal. If a contention time is associated with the terminal and has not been respected by the terminal a temporary identifier allocated to the terminal for communicating with the network core is sent to the terminal via the access point, and a control message comprising at least a part of the temporary identifier is sent to the access point, the control message requiring blocking by the access point of all or part of the requests sent by a terminal which contains at least one part of the temporary identifier.

Abstract: A method is provided for determining a list of services for a user of a customer device of operator network implementing SIP. The method includes: the customer device inserts a list of services that it has the technical means to provide into a request for registration with the operator network; where appropriate, each intermediate network relating the customer device to the operator network transmits the request to the operator network after having deleted therefrom or marked, in the list of services, all services that the intermediate network does not have technical means to provide and/or for which the intermediate network does not have a use agreement with the operator of the upstream and/or downstream network to which it is connected; and the operator network obtains a definitive list by extracting services to which the user is entitled among the services that the operator network has the technical means to provide.

Abstract: Disclosed is a management method for managing a communication to a user having an identifier allocated thereto on a voice over IP core network, the method being performed by an application server of the voice over IP core network through which the communication transits, and comprises a process, performed on receiving the communication, of consulting a database to select a terminal linked to the identifier of the user for the purpose of routing the communication to the terminal, the database associating at least one terminal registered on the voice over IP core network and linked to the identifier of the user with at least one period of activity of the terminal on the voice over IP core network, and the terminal that is selected being the terminal associated in the database with the most recent period of activity.

Abstract: A method of managing fixed and mobile terminals in an environment comprising a mobile network including an IMS network, and an enterprise network including IP-PBX equipment, the method consisting in particular in: determining (S30) the mobile terminals of the mobile network that are registered with the IMS network and the enterprise terminals that are registered with the IP-PBX equipment of the enterprise network; while a multimedia communications session involving any terminal that is determined as being registered with the IMS network or with the IP-PBX equipment as the case may be, is being initialized via the IMS network, obtaining (S32) the capabilities of said terminal; and updating (S31, S33) a database with information identifying the mobile terminals of the mobile network that are registered with the IMS network and the enterprise terminals that are registered with the IP-PBX equipment, and with information representative of the capabilities that have been obtained for each identified terminal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for accessing a service from a user's terminal (1) through a heterogeneous network (3) in which several access types (5, 7, 9, 11) are available. The method comprises the following steps: upon reception of a request outputted by the terminal (1) for accessing a service, selecting through an access selection server (17) an access of the heterogeneous network (3) for the terminal (1), said access selection step including a resources reservation step (61) at the selected access; and sending (65) a selected access identifier to the terminal (1) through the access selection server (17).
