Publication number: 20220109961Abstract: A wireless communication system has an access point managing a first wireless local area network. To transmit the frame, the access point: obtains data to be transmitted in multicast mode; obtains data to be transmitted in unicast mode; and constructs a physical-layer header including: in a common signalling field, an identification of each channel resource intended to be used for making the frame transmission, whether this be for the data to be transmitted in unicast mode or in multicast mode; and, in each field in a series of specific signalling fields, information representing an association between a channel resource identifier used and a unique identifier of the destination concerned or group of destinations concerned. Thus each destination can determine each channel resource to listen to in order to receive the data that are addressed to it, whether this be in unicast mode or in multicast mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2021Publication date: April 7, 2022Applicant: SAGEMCOM BROADBAND SASInventors: Pierre SABATIER, Romain DEJARDIN, Massinissa LALAM

Patent number: 10530508Abstract: A method for scanning a frequency band for producing a service plan. The method parallelises the scanning by dividing the analysis into two steps: an exploration step for the purpose of detecting channels or frequencies carrying services; and an analysis step for extracting detected channels from program information in order to supply a service plan. Each of the steps is performed by multiple task instances. These tasks share the band to be explored and synchronise, for one same step, via semaphores and, for an inter-step communication, according to a producer/consumer principle.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2017Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: SAGEMCOM BROADBAND SASInventor: Romain Déjardin

Patent number: 10439669Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic device that includes first and second radio modules using the same radio frequency band. The electronic device includes a first and second programmable radio attenuator and is arranged for: (1) determining a value of attenuation associated with each radio module according to a maximum power acceptable to the radio module, a transmission power of the other radio module and isolation between the first and second radio interfaces, (2) determining, for each radio module, a value of a quality indicator of a communication established with said radio module, and, when, for a radio module, the value of the quality indicator is higher than a predetermined threshold value that's dependent on the value of the attenuation associated with the radio module and a minimum power acceptable to the radio module, and (3) programming the radio attenuator corresponding to the value of the attenuation associated with the radio module.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2017Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: SAGEMCOM BROADBAND SASInventor: Romain Dejardin
