Abstract: A method for retrieving content of a distributed directory of a telecommunication system comprising a plurality of nodes arranged in a directed ring topology, the method comprising the steps of identifying a storage location of said content by means of a distributed hashing function, where the hashing function maps an element onto a node, where the node is responsible carrying elements with a hash value between the node and its successor node. The invention further concerns a corresponding computer software product, telecommunication device, and a telecommunication system.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of managing real-time services in a packet-based telecommunications network (1) of a plurality of coequal nodes (10 to 14) and a telecommunications network (1) for executing this method. A rule base for each node (10 to 14) is defined in consideration of the capabilities of each node (10 to 14) and/or the capabilities of all other nodes (10 to 14). After receiving information about an event requiring action, one or more of said nodes (10 to 14) determine node-specific action in consideration of said rule base and node-specific aggregated data as reaction to said event. Media data and/or signaling data associated with said real-time services are routed based on the determined action.

Abstract: The invention relates to a network node (R2, D2), a module therefor and a distribution method. The network node comprises: receiving means (RB) for receiving a data stream (CDS) from a content source, in particular a content server (CS), of the network (NET), encryption means (EM) for individually encrypting said data stream to a subscriber data stream (SDS1, SDS2, SDS3), the encryption being specific to a subscriber terminal (T1, T2, T3) being coupled or able to be coupled with the network, and sending means (SM) for sending the subscriber data stream (SDS1, SDS2, SDS3) to the terminal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing location information relating to an emergency call, in which when there exists differing location information, a weighting is made of any available location information and that the location information with the highest ranking is provided for further use, as well as a telecommunications terminal, a server and a computer program product.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for performing a service or application in a network environment with network elements, which network environment contains a telecommunication network that has at least two network nodes for performing services or applications, all these nodes being equipped with a common layer for service support, wherein, if a particular network node is not equipped such that it can perform a particular service or application, this network node checks with the help of the service support layer whether another network node can perform this service or application and if the other network node can perform this service or application, the first network node passes on the task of performing this service or application to the other network node, which then performs this service or application, as well as a telecommunication network and network nodes for this.

Abstract: Method for sending digital copies of protected media, using receiver-individual digital watermarks, from a media server via a telecommunications network and a network access device with connecting devices to an end user terminal, in which a digital copy which is to be sent to a specific end user terminal of the telecommunications network is made available in the network access device from which the end user terminal is connected to the telecommunications network in which the digital copy provided with the digital watermark is sent to the end user terminal via the connecting device of the network access device via which this end user terminal is connected, the digital watermark being imprinted into the digital copy to be sent in this network access device, wherein the digital watermark contains at least data acting as identification of the end user to whom the digital copy is to be sent.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method comprising the steps of receiving content data from a first subscriber by a first network node, setting up a first data content report, comprising information about content data, or receiving said first data content report from said first subscriber, by said first network node, setting up said transmission path by choosing a second network node, having an exclusive data transfer connection to a second subscriber, by said network controlling means, sending said content data from said first network node to said second network node.
