Abstract: Method of configuring a mobile terminal (10) in a telecommunication network (20) as a function of the geographical position of that mobile terminal (10), the network (20) being divided into geographical cells each corresponding to the coverage of a base transceiver station adapted to exchange data with the mobile terminal (10) by radio, the position of that mobile terminal (10) being defined continuously while it is operating by location data that is a function of at least one base transceiver station, the method being of the type in which at least two separate geographical zones (Z1, Z2, Z3) are defined and at least one particular mode of operation of the mobile terminal (10) specific to each zone (Z1, Z2, Z3) is defined, in which method: each zone (Z1, Z2, Z3) is geographically defined by location data that is a function of a set of at least two base transceiver stations contained in the zone (Z1, Z2, Z3), the location data for the zones (Z1, Z2, Z3) is stored in a location data memory (30) in the netwo

Abstract: A device (D) for use in mobile communication terminals (T1-T3) attached to a mobile communication network (R) is dedicated to processing data providing information relating to passenger transport means (V21-V22). The device (D) comprises i) interface means (l1) adapted to exchange inquiries and response messages with mobile terminals and ii) processing means (MT) adapted, on receiving an inquiry for information on at least one station stop (S21-S25) served by transport means (V21-V22), to determine the geographical position of the enquiring mobile terminal (T1), then to determine a station stop (S23) as a function of that geographical position and one or more optimization criteria, and then to generate a response message to be sent to said enquiring mobile terminal (T1) that includes the coordinates of the station stop (S23) that has been determined.

Abstract: An optimization device for an IMS type core network coupled to service applications and to at least two access networks of different types, comprises processing means coupled to the service applications and adapted, when a user terminal connected to one of the access networks requests access to a chosen service, managed by one of the service applications, to optimize the utilization of the requested service as a function of rules defined by that user and/or by an access network operator with which the user has entered into a chosen contract, characteristics of the requested service, and capacities of the terminal and/or characteristics of the contract and/or of each access network enabling access of the terminal to the requested service.

Abstract: A communication network includes network equipments coupled to a management system. A diagnostic device for the network determines the causes of problems occurring in the network by means of one or more diagnostic models and adapts the diagnostic models as a function of data provided by the management system that is representative of the composition of the network.

Abstract: A diagnostic device, for use in a communication network including, network equipments, comprises diagnostic means that are adapted to determine the cause of problems occurring within the network on the basis of information provided by the network equipments. The diagnostic means comprise a knowledge base in the form of basic diagnostic units and processing means adapted to establish hierarchical associations between basic diagnostic units selected in the knowledge base to constitute configurable diagnostic models adapted to determine causes of problems.
