Method for managing resources of a converged fixed access and mobile radio telecommunications network, and corresponding computer program product and devices

A method of managing resources of a converged fixed access and mobile radio telecommunications network, at least some of said resources being implemented in a virtualized and remote form in said network, optical resources of said network being allocated between at least one optical router and a plurality of optical modems of said network,

• wherein a module for centralized management of remote virtualized resources in said network implements:
• receiving information representative of virtualized resource requirements of a mobile radio part of said network, referred to as virtualized mobile radio requirement information, transmitted by a module for centralized management of mobile radio resources of said network;
• receiving information representative of virtualized resource requirements of a fixed access part of said network, referred to as virtualized fixed access requirement information, transmitted by a module for centralized management of fixed access and the optical resources of said network;
• and
• reallocating said virtualized resources as a function of said virtualized mobile radio requirement information and of said virtualized fixed-access requirement information.

A device for centralized management of fixed access and optical resources of a converged fixed access and mobile radio telecommunications network, at least some of said resources being implemented in a virtualized and remote form in said network, optical resources of said network being allocated between at least one optical router and a plurality of optical modems of said network, said plurality of optical modems comprising:

• at least one fixed access optical modem, at least one fixed user equipment item being connected to a fixed access part of said network via said fixed access optical modem;
• and
• at least one mobile radio optical modem, at least one base station being connected to a mobile radio part of said network via said at least one mobile radio optical modem,
• said device comprising a reprogrammable computing machine or a dedicated computing machine, configured for:
• receiving at least one performance indicator of said fixed access part of said network, referred to as a fixed access performance indicator, transmitted by at least one module belonging to the group comprising:
• said at least one optical router;
• said at least one fixed access optical modem;
• said at least one mobile radio optical modem;
• and
• at least one module of virtualized fixed equipment functions,
• receiving information representative of optical resource requirements of said mobile part of said network, referred to as optical mobile radio requirement information, transmitted by a module for centralized management of mobile radio resources of said network;
• and
• reallocating said optical resources between, firstly, said at least one optical router and said at least one fixed access optical modem and, secondly, said at least one optical router and said at least one mobile radio optical modem as a function of said at least one fixed access performance indicator and said optical mobile radio requirement information, providing at least one item of information representative of said reallocation of optical resources, referred to as fixed access and mobile radio reallocation information.
