<p>A method for selecting a wireless access network, among several access networks (AN A, AN B, AN C) in order to accelerate content delivery for at least one application (A1, A2) running on a terminal (T1; T2), each access network comprising at least one delivery appliance (DA1, DA2, ...) belonging to a content delivery network (CDN X, CDN Y, ...) and containing a local copy (S1', S2', ...) of content that the terminal may retrieve for said application; comprises the steps of:
- sending a query message (QM1a, ...; QM2A, ...) from a terminal (T1; T2) to an access point (HSA1, ...; HSA2, ...), this query message requesting data about at least one content delivery network (CDN X, CDN Y, ...) for which the access network to which the interrogated access point is linked comprises a delivery appliance (DA1, DA2, ...);
- then sending a response message (RP1 a, ...; RP2a, ...) from the access point (HSA1, ...; HSA2, ...) to the terminal (T1; T2), this response message comprising first data about at least one content delivery network (CDN X, CDN Y, ...) for which the access network to which the interrogated access point is linked comprises a delivery appliance (DA1, DA2, ...);
- collecting, in the terminal, second data about at least one application (A1, A2) running in the terminal;
- and then selecting an access point as a function of these first and second data.</p> |
