Abstract: A method is provided for transmission within a telecommunication system, which includes a plurality of terminals that can exchange data flows therebetween. The method includes at least: a step of comparing a maximum throughput value offered by an interface with a cumulative value of the throughputs of flows that are intended to pass through the interface; and a step of adjusting the throughput of a particular flow following transmission of an adjustment value to a flow-emitting entity, which is executed when the maximum value is less than the cumulative value. The method enables a given terminal to adjust the throughput of a flow even when the flow is generated by a remote terminal.

Abstract: A method is provided for the transmission of data flows through multiple interfaces. The method includes: comparing a maximum throughput value offered by an interface with a cumulative value resulting from a sum of the throughputs attributed to the flows effectively travelling through the interface; and switching a flow to another interface when the maximum throughput value offered is less than the cumulative value. The method can be used to redirect data flows to an interface other than the current interface when a congestion is detected in the comparison step and to perform optimum dynamic management of the resources of different interfaces as a function of the operating conditions of the interfaces.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for early distribution of at least one encryption key intended for securing a communication to be set up on the link layer of a cellular network formed of a plurality of cells, each controlled by an attachment point, between a mobile terminal and a set of attachment points, termed the target attachment points. The includes, for at least one target attachment point: creation of an encryption ticket containing an encryption key, enciphered on the basis of at least one authentication key specific to this target attachment point; receipt of the enciphered encryption ticket, by way of a current attachment point to which the mobile terminal is connected; identification, of a means of deciphering the enciphered encryption ticket, with the aid of the at least one authentication key, making it possible to obtain the encryption key.
