Abstract
A method for selection of unlicensed transmission resources to set up a communication between a base station, such as a base station of a small cell of a heterogeneous cellular network, and a mobile terminal. The transmission resource is selected coherently by the base station and the mobile terminal from transmission quality indices for these resources. The quality index of a resource is determined by the base station (or the mobile terminal) from the state of at least one first counter of the base station (or the mobile terminal) associated with this resource. The first counter of the base station associated with a selected resource is incremented if the selected resource is available. The first counter of the mobile terminal associated with a selected resource is incremented if it receives a beacon signal on the selected resource.
