According to some embodiments, there is provided a Collective Perception Message, CPM, characterizing a plurality of Vulnerable Road Users based on a plurality of received VAMs, thereby allowing an ITS station to efficiently aggregate VAM messages from VRUs and retransmit information about the VRUs to other ITS stations. Consequently, the security is improved as some ITS stations may not be able to detect or identify VRU stations by themselves but thanks to the CPM, these stations can still be informed of the VRUs. According to other aspects, congestion is avoided while maintaining safety vis-à-vis VRUs thanks to the use of a different transmission scheme when the VRU is already characterized in a CPM sent to the ITS stations. Also, a receiving station can evaluate whether the content of a CPM can be trusted or not. Safety is thus improved. This is achieved thanks to the CPM that references a certificate.

There is provided methods for managing streaming over communication networks. Server and client devices share a push policy so that the client device may anticipate data pushes by the server. Anticipation makes it possible to cancel early the sending of some pushed data, therefore reducing bandwidth consumption. The shared push policy may be implicit to both server and client. In embodiments, it is explicitly specified by the server to the client, for example embedded in the Media Presentation Description file or included in a specific HTTP header. The client may also request an update of the shared push policy to meet its own requirements.

Adaptive data streaming method with push messages control

The present invention relates to pushing at least one resource associated with a main resource, in response to a request for this main resource. After having received a request for a main resource and obtained from the cache memory a list of at least one resource linked to the main resource, an indication being associated with the at least one resource, the indication comprising a push policy defined by an application server, the at least one resource stored in the cache memory is pushed in response to a comparison of the indication associated with the at least one resource with a recommendation comprising a preferred push policy.
