Abstract: There is provided methods for managing streaming over communication networks. Server and client devices share a push policy so that the client device may anticipate data pushes by the server. Anticipation makes it possible to cancel early the sending of some pushed data, therefore reducing bandwidth consumption. The shared push policy may be implicit to both server and client. In embodiments, it is explicitly specified by the server to the client, for example embedded in the Media Presentation Description file or included in a specific HTTP header. The client may also request an update of the shared push policy to meet its own requirements.

Abstract: Methods and devices for encoding or decoding messages, each message including a list of information items. The encoding method comprises determining a first list of indexes associated with information items that are already indexed in a local indexing table and a second list of literal values of other information items not yet indexed in said indexing table; encoding the indexes of the first list; binary compressing at least a serialized binary representation of the literal values of the second list; and concatenating the first list and the second list together to obtain an encoded bitstream of the information items. When the messages are sent over a plurality of connections, a global table is shared between the connections to store the indexed items of information; and a local indexing table for each connection associates indexes with references to an entry of the shared global table.

Abstract: A method of encapsulating entities in a file, wherein the method comprises for at least one entity: generating a grouping data structure associated with at least one of the entities, and indicating that the at least one of the entities belong to a same group; encapsulating the grouping data structure and the entities in the file; wherein the grouping data structure is a proprietary grouping data structure comprising an universally unique identifier identifying the type of the proprietary grouping.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, there is provided a Collective Perception Message, CPM, characterizing a plurality of Vulnerable Road Users based on a plurality of received VAMs, thereby allowing an ITS station to efficiently aggregate VAM messages from VRUs and retransmit information about the VRUs to other ITS stations. Consequently, the security is improved as some ITS stations may not be able to detect or identify VRU stations by themselves but thanks to the CPM, these stations can still be informed of the VRUs. According to other aspects, congestion is avoided while maintaining safety vis-à-vis VRUs thanks to the use of a different transmission scheme when the VRU is already characterized in a CPM sent to the ITS stations. Also, a receiving station can evaluate whether the content of a CPM can be trusted or not. Safety is thus improved. This is achieved thanks to the CPM that references a certificate.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of encapsulating images in a file, wherein the method comprises determining a grouping type based on a capture mode of the images; generating a grouping data structure describing the images as a group, the grouping data structure comprising image identifiers of the images of the group; and embedding the grouping data structure, the grouping type and the images in the file.

Abstract: The invention relates to processing a service request by a web runtime environment in a processing device, the processing of the service request enabling a service provider to provide a service requested in the service request. After having selected a specific interface based on the service request, a web driver application associated with the service requested in the service request is executed and the selected specific interface is implemented. Then, it is possible to interact with the web driver application, via said specific interface, for providing the service by the service provider.

Abstract: The invention relates to a server and a method for processing requests when several requests compete within the same connection having fixed resources. Conventionally, a priority scheme provides priority values for a priority parameter that express priorities relatively to the priorities of other requests, meaning that a relative allocation of resources is obtained for each request. To achieve a better control on the server by the client, the invention provides specific possible values for the priority parameter that correspond to respective processing profiles. Each processing profile represents specific server behavior for resources allocation, by defining a predefined amount of resources. Thus, the client may choose between using the specific possible values to control the exact amount of resources that will be allocated by the server to process some specific requests, and using the other possible values that correspond to a relative allocation of resources as already done in known techniques.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for processing requests. In particular, the invention concerns building a dependency tree between the requests received from the client device for prioritizing the processing of the requests by the server device; maintaining a list of requests of the dependency tree in their removal order from the dependency tree while the server device is prioritizing the processing of the requests; and removing a selection of requests from the dependency tree wherein the selection is based on the order of requests in the list.
