Abstract
A method for transmitting data packets in a communication network using a plurality of radio frequency channels, at least two of the radio frequency channels being concatenated to form a concatenated channel. The method includes: acquiring and reserving at least one of the channels from the concatenated channel, thus reserving a first frequency band for transmitting data packets to a first target device; acquiring and reserving channels from the concatenated channel that were unreserved during the first step of acquisition and reservation, thus reserving a second frequency band for transmitting data packets to a second target device; generating a preamble specific to a selected data packet, which includes a simultaneous transmission indicator on the first and second frequency bands; and simultaneously transmitting the data packets on the first and second frequency bands, from the selected packet and the specific preamble, before the selected packet on the second frequency band.
