Abstract: A method of processing data for limiting, during a multimedia session involving a first user terminal, transferring or mirroring a media stream to other user terminals, including: a) receiving a request to transfer or mirror a media stream transmitted by the first user terminal, the request containing information relating to a second user terminal which is the target of the transfer or mirroring operation, and information relating to the media stream to be transferred or mirrored; b) comparing the information relating to the second user terminal and to the media stream to be transferred or mirrored with a series of information elements relating to transfer or mirroring operations authorized for the multimedia session, and determining, according to the comparison, an authorization for the transfer or mirroring operation; and c) when the transfer or mirroring operation is authorized, transferring or mirroring the media stream to the second user terminal.

Abstract: A method for communication, in a packet-mode communication network, between user equipment and a data network. A session is established between the user equipment and a data-network access gateway via an access network. The method includes: detecting a request for access to a service based on at least one packet transmitted by the user equipment via the established session; a first step of determining, based at least one criterion, that a new session is to be established; a step of sending, to the user equipment, a control to establish a new session, the user equipment initiating establishment of the new session; a second step of determining another access gateway, the other gateway being suitable for the service required by the user equipment; and establishing the new session initiated by the user equipment, from which the new session is established between the user equipment and the other gateway.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for communication, within a packet-mode communication network, between user equipment and a data network. A session is established between the user equipment and a data-network access gateway via an access network. The method includes: a step of detecting a request for access to a service on the basis of at least one packet transmitted by the user device via the established session; a first step of determining, on the basis of at least one criterion, that a new session is to be established; a second step of determining another access gateway, the other gateway being suitable for the service required by the user equipment; and a step of triggering the establishment of the new session between the user equipment and the other access gateway, the establishment being initiated by equipment of the packet-mode communication network.

Abstract: A method is provided for selecting a device in a telecommunications network in accordance with characteristics relating to the implementation of a telecommunications service, comprising the following steps: a) receiving a set of characteristics relating to said service; b) forming a first symbolic address for querying an address server, using at least one portion of the overall characteristics of the set on the one hand, and an address domain name on the other hand; c) sending the first address to the address server; d) receiving a list of one or more devices compatible with the characteristics; and e) selecting one device from the list.

Abstract: A method implemented by a terminal for accessing a CSG femtocell of a first access network. The terminal includes a list containing identifiers of CSG femtocells to which an access right is defined. The method includes: scanning a frequency band for discovering CSG femtocells; decoding, based on a key, a data stream broadcasted from the CGS femtocells; obtaining, based on the decoded data stream, an identifier of the CSG femtocells; and determining, based on the list, whether the terminal has authorized access to the discovered femtocells. The frequency band, the key or the list is determined based on a message received from a remote server via a second cellular access network different from the first access network.

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).
