In a context of virtualized access points deployment, an access point of a first wireless network is split in a radio equipment deployed at the user premises and a radio equipment controller deployed in a data centre located a few kilometres from the user premises, the radio equipment and the radio equipment controller being interconnected via a wired network connection. In order to establish a secure wireless connection of a device to the virtualized access point in a user-friendly manner, a salient idea is to receive at the radio equipment controller in the data centre a first and a second information items respectively emulating a first action of a user on the first device and a second action of the user on the virtualized access point. The disclosed principles are advantageous as sending the first and the second information items to the radio equipment controller allows to emulate user actions on both the wireless device seeking for joining the first wireless network and the virtualized access point, further allowing to use simple but secure wireless configuration setup protocols, avoiding laborious configurations from users.

In a communication system and method using staggercasting, the bitrates of both staggercast and base streams may be highly variable to fulfill, for example, some quality demands. In some circumstances such as transport or bandwidth managements, variable bitrates may have some drawbacks or may not be cost effective. Accordingly, the present principles aim to level the sum of the two bitrates and/or to avoid exceedingly high or low bitrate intervals by reordering the packets of the staggercast stream.

The present invention relates to an audio content restitution method in a receiver of audio and/or audiovisual content, the receiver being adapted to the restitution of the audio content, the audio content being received encoded and containing a succession of frames of audio samples and pointer type information on at least one portion of the audio samples of the frames. According to a particular embodiment, the audio content restitution method comprises:
