Abstract: In one implementation, the AI/ML model is first split into several unitary chunks that correspond to sub-parts of the model. Then an aggregation of unitary chunks is made by considering the download time, inference time of unitary chunks, and/or device constraints. The first split corresponds to a first chunk of AI/ML layers that, once downloaded, is useable as is, and generates intermediate results based on some sensing/perception data. As soon as a new chunk arrives, it is used to generate new results based on the intermediate data of the previous chunk. Since download and inference are parallelized, a final result can be generated earlier than with the full sequential method. In addition, as soon as the inference ends on a chunk, this chunk may be removed from the device. Several AI/ML model split methods are provided to generate model subsets/chunks for different model architectures.

Abstract: A method for forwarding a connection at an interconnecting device is described. The method includes receiving from an originating device an incoming connection at an incoming port, determining by at least one hardware processor whether port translation is implemented for the incoming port, in case port translation is implemented for the incoming port, returning to the originating device by the at least one hardware processor a challenge intended to distinguish humans from computers, verifying by the at least one hardware processor that a response received in response to the challenge is a correct response to the challenge, and, in case the response is a correct response to the challenge, forwarding, by the at least one hardware processor, the connection to a translated port corresponding to the incoming port according to the port translation.

Abstract: A method for detecting interferences in wireless networks is disclosed. A salient idea is to use a first access point for detecting an interference disturbing a wireless device associated with a second access point, wherein the device at the origin of the interference is in the range of the first access point, but not in the range of the second access point. Leveraging on the difference of coverage between different wireless networking technologies, the first access point is capable of detecting both a data traffic of a second access point and a short-range interfering device in a same frequency channel.

Abstract: A method for detecting device replacement in a network is proposed. A salient idea is to monitor the connectivity of a plurality of devices connected to a home gateway over time, to compute a set of fingerprints at least associated with a device over time, wherein a fingerprint is representative of a usage by one user or a group of user over time. In case a new device is detected connected to the home gateway, a fingerprint associated with this new device for a current period of time is compared with the fingerprints associated with other devices over a previous period of time. In case there is a fingerprint match between the fingerprint associated with the new device and a fingerprint associated with a device that did not connect to the gateway since the new device appeared, a device replacement is detected between those devices.

Abstract: A device that is configured to generate reports to send to a server comprises at least one processor configured to generate the reports. Upon loss of connection, generated reports are stored in a buffer in memory of the device, capable of storing k reports. The first generated report is stored in a first part of the buffer, a most recently generated report is stored in a second part of the buffer, while the remaining reports are stored in a third part of the buffer. When the third part is full, a sampling algorithm is used to select the k?2 reports to store in the third part.

Abstract: A processing device equips a controller that is intended for providing data transmission schedules into multi-slot frames, based on a conflict graph representative of wireless links between nodes that interfere when transmitting simultaneously on a same radio channel, for nodes linked therebetween and belonging to a multi-hop wireless network using a MAC protocol supporting a slotted access. This processing device comprises a processing means arranged, during each frame, for updating the conflict graph from interference information provided by the nodes during this frame, and for refining this conflict graph from detection of hidden interferer nodes based on detected failures of data transmissions of the links between these nodes during at least the previous frame.

Abstract: The purpose of this invention is a method to provide a specific physical rate adapted to 802.11 WMM in EDCA mode which may be integrated as well in an Access Point as in a Station. The objective of this method is to select the 802.11 phyrate (physical rate) the most adapted for each WMM AC (Access category) of traffic requirements: For each AC it guaranties an IPLR (IP packet Lost ratio) specific physical rate and adapted to nature of the transported content. For BK (Background) and BE (Best Effort) it optimizes the used CUE (Channel Usage Estimation) in order to provide maximum bandwidth, For VI (Video) and VO (Voice) AC to guaranty first the delay bound (i.e. max IP Delay transmission (IPDT)) and when this condition is met it optimizes the used CUE.

Abstract: The invention relates to a routing device intended to equip a local network in which at least one telephone terminal is associated with multimedia terminals. The device is intended to automatically select at least one multimedia terminal that has to receive or send a stream at the same time as a telephone communication is established.

Said set comprises means for ordering transmission, to a server comprising a database wherein are stored identifiers of telephone sets and identifiers of the multimedia terminals associated with said telephone sets, of a request in the form of a message including an identifier of said first telephone set and an identifier of a second telephone set with which the first set is currently communicating over the phone. The server comprises means for ordering transmission, to a multimedia terminal associated with the first and/or with the second telephone set, of an identifier of another terminal, so as to set up a multimedia communication, through a logical channel different from the telephone communication channel, between said multimedia terminals.
