  • Patent number: 8891440
    Abstract: A remote transmission station (S1), for a transmission installation (ID) in a radio communication network with a control unit (MS) for transmission stations with selected administration protocol, comprises controlled units (E11, E21) and is located in a part of the network separated from the control unit (MS) by a transmission connection (SAT) within the installation (ID). The station (S1) further comprises control means (MG) for obtaining control information statuses relating to the controlled units (E) and processing means (MT) for i) storage of the states previously obtained by the control means (MG), ii) for comparison of the currently obtained states with the states previously stored and to determine each change in state and iii) to generate messages comprising each determined change in state for transmission thereof to the control unit (MS) by the connection (SAT).

  • Patent number: 8380522
    Abstract: A device is disclosed for compressing data contained in input frames to be compressed constituted of stream frames defining portions of TRAU and signaling frames that have to be transmitted within a communication network and each of which is constituted of at least a header containing control data representative at least of the type of stream frame and where applicable payload data, certain types containing critical and/or non-critical data. The device analyzes each TRAU or signaling frame header contained in successively received input frames in order to determine its type and generates periodically compressed frames to be transmitted that are divided into first and second sections of variable size. The first section contains critical data compressed synchronously and the second section contains non-critical data compressed asynchronously.

  • Patent number: 7515547
    Abstract: A point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint communications network includes remote traffic stations connected to a management center (CG) by radio links sharing resources. The management center (CG) includes a management module for determining a primary distribution of the resources, including assignment margins, between the radio links that it manages and previously set up between the traffic stations, as a function of first information data representing rates of occupancy per traffic type of the resources previously assigned to the radio links. Each traffic station can then determine a secondary distribution between its traffic types of the resources assigned to its radio link as a result of the primary distribution, taking account of its own rates of occupancy per traffic type.

    Abstract: A point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint communications network comprises remote traffic stations connected to a management center (CG) by radio links sharing resources. The management center (CG) comprises management means (13) for determining a primary distribution of the resources, including assignment margins, between the radio links that it manages and previously set up between the traffic stations, as a function of first information data representing rates of occupancy per traffic type of the resources previously assigned to the radio links. Each traffic station can then determine a secondary distribution between its traffic types of the resources assigned to its radio link as a result of the primary distribution, taking account of its own rates of occupancy per traffic type.
