Abstract: A method and a device is provided for managing an operating fault in a laser diode of an optical interface of user equipment of the ONU type. The user equipment is connected by an optical access network of the passive optical network PON type to line termination equipment of the OLT type. The user equipment is enabled to send an optical signal during a time slot allocated to the user equipment in accordance with a time-division multiple access principle. The laser diode is checked as to whether it is transmitting an optical signal outside the allocated time slot and, if so, a message to the line termination equipment is transferred if the fault is detected, deactivation of the laser diode is demanded, and one or more procedures for attempting to correct the fault are implemented.

Abstract: A method for connecting a node of a wireless-communication coverage-extension system is provided. The node determines whether it has been moved out of an initial local area network. In the case where the node has been moved, a local area network is established from the moved node by activating an address server functionality. The moved node is then connected to a point of access to the internet. A secure tunnel is next established between the moved node and a master node coordinating the initial local area network. The address server functionality is then deactivated and a client functionality of an address server of the initial local area network is activated.

Abstract: A methods/devices are provided for categorizing data streams passing between a station and an access point serving the station to determine whether the station can change access point serving it. The access point serving at least one station: identifies, from an identifier of the source and/or from the destination of the data, each data stream passing between the station and the access point, measures, for each data stream, the quantity of data passing between the station and the access point, calculates, for each data stream, a mean from the measurements for the stream, categorizes each data stream as an interruptible data stream if the mean of the data streams is lower than a first predetermined threshold, and determines that the station can be served by another access point if each stream passing between the station and the access point is categorized as an interruptible data stream.
