The invention relates to a method and a device for interconnection in a network gateway comprising a first wireless communication interface and a second interface adapted to the implementation of content sharing operations using an interoperability protocol, the method comprising steps of transmission, by the first interface, of at least one information element aiming to enable the gateway to be detected by a remote equipment as being compatible with a function for reproduction using a wireless communication interface, of reception of data frames defined in a link layer of a wireless network protocol, the data frames comprising an item of audiovisual content and being received from a second remote device connected to the first interface by means of a wireless connection and of transmission of the content received at said second interface to a reproduction device.

WiFi display compatible network gateway

An access device and an extender access device, forming a network for network client devices. A single IP address attribution server in the network attributes IP addresses to network devices based on their MAC address. The access device providing access in a first coverage zone. The extender access device providing access in a second coverage zone. The extender access device implements MAC address translation for representing network client devices in the second zone before the access device. When a network client device roams from the second zone to the first zone, the client device keeps its IP address that was attributed to it by the IP address attribution server via the extender access device even if the client device requests an IP address with its real, non-translated MAC address.

Method for allocating internet protocol addresses to clients of a network and corresponding apparatus

The invention relates to a method for controlling a device operating in several operating modes corresponding to different levels of power consumption and comprising a first and a second communication interface, said method being characterized in that it comprises the steps of activating said second communication interface upon receiving a first wake-up message via said first interface and receiving a second wake-up message via said second communication interface, said second wake-up message resulting in the exit from the low-power standby mode of the device.
