  • Publication number: 20220413944
    Abstract: A method for dimensioning an electric power reserved by at least one current base station among a plurality of base stations that are connected to a virtualization manager of a network infrastructure is disclosed. The method is implemented by the virtualization manager, the method includes receiving a request for dimensioning the reserved electric power; configuring, according to the dimensioning request, at least one server of the at least one current base station; and controlling, according to the configuration of the at least one server, at least one virtual computing resource of the network infrastructure, so as to dimension the reserved electric power.

  • Publication number: 20220179685
    Abstract: A method for migrating a virtualised function from a first server to a second server depending on data of technical environment parameters. The interfaces specified in the virtualised architectures effectively make it possible to deploy and manage virtualised functions with a view to implementing a service but these interfaces do not contain information relating to the data relating to the technical environment upon which the servers, the virtualised functions and subsequently the services and applications that rely on the virtualised functions are dependent. The migration method proposes virtualised architectures that take into consideration the technical environment parameters in order to move virtualised functions whose functioning could be impacted by a malfunction of one or more technical environment parameter(s).

  • Patent number: 10631240
    Abstract: Method for selecting a device among a plurality of devices that are independent powerwise and that are connected to a network for accessing a communication network and that are located in a set geographic zone, said devices being able to execute instructions relating to the delivery of a service by the network, the method being implemented by a piece of managing equipment. The method comprises steps of obtaining a piece of information relating to capacities of devices of the plurality, of receiving a request message originating from a terminal that is connected to the communication network, said message comprising a request for resources for executing said instructions, of selecting at least one device from the plurality depending on the information and on the request for resources and of transmitting a selection message to the terminal, said message comprising an identifier of at least one selected device.

  • Patent number: 10594500
    Abstract: A method and a device are provided for managing, in a receiving entity, data packets received from a transport layer connection established with a transmitting entity. The connection includes at least one stream in connected mode and at least one stream in non-connected mode. The management method includes transmitting, by the receiving entity, a so-called return message, relating to at least one data packet from one of the two streams in connected mode or in non-connected mode of the connection, the return message being transmitted to the transmitting entity on the other stream of the connection.

  • Patent number: 8937857
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system of communication between at least one first communications terminal (13) of a first communications network (10) and at least one second communications terminal (14) of a second communications network (11), said first network (10) and said second network (11) being interconnected via an interface device (12). According to the invention the method includes: a step of dynamically calculating a maximum bit rate of data streams in transit between the first and second terminals (13, 14) taking account of bit rates observed in the first network (10) and the second network (11); and a step of processing a request by said first and second terminals (13, 14) for admission of a new data stream, said interface device (12) being adapted to execute said processing taking account of the result produced in said calculation step.

  • Patent number: 8213454
    Abstract: A method and a system for managing the transmission of data streams by a terminal of a multiple-access shared communications network, said data streams being structured as data frames and comprising at least one priority data stream and at least one non-priority data stream. The method comprises the steps of determining a congestion state of said multiple-access shared network, and managing the transmission by said station of said priority and non-priority data streams as a function of said congestion state.
