The present invention concerns a method to control the transmission and transmission data rate between at least two servers and a receiver. The servers being adapted to transmit data representative of an audiovisual content. The audiovisual content being available from each of said at least two servers in at least two versions. The versions corresponding respectively to different transmission bit-rates. The servers being adapted to transmit audiovisual contents in successive parts, each of said successive parts being chosen as one of at least two versions in response to transmission requests sent by the receivers, said transmission requests comprising a transmission parameter.

Method and apparatus to control a multipath adaptive streaming session

The present invention concerns a receiver terminal and method at the receiver for requesting a missing symbol from a repair service, the method comprising the steps of receiving from a first server a list of at least one repair server and at least one transmission mode used by the at least one repair server, receiving from a second server a file comprising a plurality of symbols, checking the correct reception of the symbols, and if a missing has been identified, selecting a repair server and a transmissions mode and requesting the repair server to transmit missing symbols using the transmission mode.

Method for requesting a file repair distribution mode

The invention relates to data reception, comprising: In order to optimize the repair of an object (for example a file) which has not been correctly received, the transmission request furthermore contains an identifier of the version of the object.

Data reception method, repair method and corresponding terminal

Method for linking a first and a second communication bus through a wireless link, comprising a first portal connected to the first bus and a second portal connected to the second bus, said first and second portal communicating over a wireless connection. The method comprises the steps of:

Method for linking several communication busses using wireless links

Methods for transmitting first packets encapsulated in second packets in a transmission system in which part of the first packets contain a first timing reference for synchronization of a receiver clock and at least part of said second packets contain a second timing reference for reducing transmission jitter of the second packets at the receiver is described. This method provides, at the transmitter, collecting first packets, determining whether a collected first packet contains a first timing reference and triggering transmission of a second packet encapsulating collected first packets including the first packet containing the first timing reference in response to a positive determination.

Method for transmitting packets in a transmission system

The invention concerns a remote management method enabling a distant remote management server to manage at least a distant device. In order to have a simple and reliable management, it comprises a transmission step of a CWMP command requesting a configuration of the transport and/or dejittering layers.

Remote management method of a distant device, and corresponding video device

The invention relates to a process for managing resources in a communication network comprising at least two communication buses linked by way of a wireless transmission bridge, the said bridge comprising for each bus a real portal connected to this bus, each portal being furnished with wireless communication means. The process is characterized by the steps: The invention applies in particular in field of home automation.

Method for managing bandwidth in a communication network comprising a cordless connection

Method for connecting an IEEE1394 remote device to a cluster of IEEE1394 devices through a wireless link comprising a first wireless device connected to the cluster and a second wireless device connected to the remote device, wherein the remote device and the first wireless device for a first wired bus and the device cluster and the second wireless device form a second wired bus. The method comprises the steps of, representing the remote device on the cluster through the first wireless device and representing the devices of the cluster to the remote device through the second wireless device, such that the remote device and the devices of the cluster function as if these devices were part of a single IEEE1394 bus.
