A method for multiple access to a frequency band of a communication channel of a communication network with carrier sensing and collision avoidance, including a division of the frequency band into a set of request-to-send sub-bands dedicated to the transmission, by source nodes to a destination node, of request-to-send messages for communicating data on the frequency band is provided. The method includes an evaluation of a communication channel load, and, as a function of the result of the evaluation, a re-division of the frequency band to modify the number of sub-bands of the set of request-to-send sub-bands.

Multiple access method and system with adaptive frequency multiplexing of data send authorization requests

A method for multiple access to a frequency band of a communication channel of a communication network with carrier sense and collision avoidance, the said frequency band being divided into a set of sub-bands includes, at a source node, detecting the availability of the communication channel and transmitting to a destination node a request message for authorization to send data on the communication channel sent over one or more sub-bands, and, at the destination node, detecting simultaneous request messages for authorization to send data on the communication channel transmitted by a plurality of source nodes over a plurality of sub-bands. A message is transmitted authorizing the sending of data on the communication channel by at least one source node among the said plurality of source nodes.

Multiple access method and system with frequency multiplexing of requests for authorisation to send data

The invention relates to a multiple access method to a frequency band of a communication channel of a communication network with carrier sensing and collision avoidance, said frequency band being broken down into a set of sub-bands (SB0, SB1, . . . , SBi, . . . , SBn) of the communication channel, characterized in that it comprises at a source node, after it has been detected that the communication channel is available, the transmission to a destination node of several request to send messages on the communication channel (RTS NS0, RTS NS1), each of said messages being sent on a sub-band of the communication channel.
