In a multicellular cooperative radio communications method, the terminals estimate and communicate to all the access points of a cooperating cluster of access points information on the transmission channels between them and each access point of the cluster. The access points include homologous processor for scheduling the servicing of the terminals and operating in accordance with a particular criterion common to all the access points. Finally, the servicing of the terminals is effected jointly by said access points, in an order determined by the processor, using transmission parameters on the basis of the information on the transmission channels transmitted by the terminals.
