Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de téléchargement de données et un dispositif associé, le procédé comportant les étapes suivantes : la sélection par une SGW-C, conformément à une politique de téléchargement, d'une passerelle de distribution (DGW) afin d'effectuer une transmission de données côté utilisateur pour un UE, la transmission d'informations d'adresse de connexion d'une station de base de desserte à la DGW et la transmission des premières informations d'adresse de connexion de la DGW à la station de base de desserte destinées à être utilisées dans l'établissement d'une première connexion de communication entre la DGW et la station de base de desserte ; la transmission par la SGW-C d'une description de téléchargement correspondant à la station de base de desserte à la DGW destinée à être utilisée par la DGW dans le téléchargement, en fonction de la description de téléchargement, de données de l'UE reçues par l'intermédiaire de la première connexion de communication. Une telle mise en œuvre, correspondant à des exigences de distribution en tout lieu de service et de déploiement de service local, permet le téléchargement de données de service par l'intermédiaire de la DGW et permet de réduire un retard pour les données de service.
