Method of radio communication in a system comprising a plurality of communicating modules
First Claim
1. A method of radio communication in a system comprising a plurality of communicating modules, each communicating module being able to obtain at least one measured physical value and to transmit a message encapsulating said at least one measured physical value to a hub device according to a given radio communication protocol, the sending of the message being performed during a communication time interval, defined by a start instant and an end instant, a waiting time separating two successive communication time intervals of one and the same communicating module:
- wherein each communicating module of the plurality of communicating modules, the waiting time is calculated as a function of an updated counter of said communicating module as a function of a receipt of an acknowledgement message originating from the hub device.

Abstract
A method of radio communication in a system including a plurality of communicating modules, each communicating module being able to obtain at least one measured physical value and to transmit a message encapsulating at least one measured physical value to a hub device according to a given radio communication protocol, the sending of the message being performed during a communication time interval, defined by a start instant and an end instant, a waiting time separating two successive communication time intervals of one and the same communicating module. For each communicating module of the plurality of communicating modules, the waiting time is calculated as a function of an updated counter of the communicating module as a function of a receipt of an acknowledgement message originating from the hub device.

12. A radio communication system comprising a plurality of communicating modules and a hub device, each communicating module being able to obtain at least one measured physical value and to transmit a message encapsulating said at least one measured physical value to the hub device according to a given radio communication protocol, the sending of the message being performed during a communication time interval, defined by a start instant and an end instant, a waiting time separating two successive communication time intervals of one and the same communicating module,
wherein each communicating module of the plurality of communicating modules comprises a unit adapted to calculate the waiting time as a function of a counter, updating said communicating module as a function of a receipt of an acknowledgement message originating from the hub device.
