  • Patent number: 10117202
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for transmission in a wireless network comprising a plurality of base stations and at least one mobile terminal, a mobile terminal (MT) transmitting a same signal (704) intended for the plurality of base stations (BS1, BS2, BS3). In order to optimize the synchronization of the mobile terminal with the plurality of base stations, the method comprises a step of transmission of an item of information representative of a first temporal offset intended for the mobile terminal, the first offset being according to at least one reception time (740, 750, 760) of the first signal by at least one base station (BS1, BS2, BS3). The invention also relates to the corresponding device for reception.

  • Patent number: 9419813
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and a device for transmitting data between a sender, and at least two receivers, in a network where a data between a sender and a receiver is carried on a connection and where a unicast connection enables a sender to send the data and a receiver to acknowledge a reception of the data. The method comprises the steps of opening a unique unicast connection identified with a connection identifier; and indicating the connection identifier to the sender and the receivers, so that the sender sends the data on the unicast connection, and the receivers receive the data on the unicast connection.

  • Patent number: 8539316
    Abstract: In order in particular to allow a synchronization on data packets, the method comprises: a first check that a data set which would be protected by an error detection code, does not comprise any error, the frame comprising the data set; a synchronization on one of the packets comprising the set if the check indicates that the data set does not comprise any error. The invention also relates to a corresponding synchronization module and an apparatus implementing this module.

  • Patent number: 8477756
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transmission of data in a wireless network comprising a plurality of base stations broadcasting data at a same frequency and a plurality of mobile terminals. In order to overcome inter-cell transfer at the level of mobile terminals, the method comprises: assignments of first and second sub-sets of base stations at respectively at least a first and at least a second mobile terminal, the assignments varying in time according to first and second parameters, the two sub-sets having at least one base station in common and each at least having a specific base station, synchronized transmissions of respectively the base stations of the first and second sub-set of first and second specific data modulated with first and second modulations to respectively the at least first and second mobile terminals. The invention also relates to the corresponding method for reception of data.
