METHODS FOR MANAGING COMMUNICATIONS OF A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK, CORRESPONDING STORAGE MEANS AND DEVICES
First Claim
1. Method for managing communications in a wireless communications network comprising a set of device pairs constituted by a sender device and a receiver device, each of the devices having a determined area of communications coverage, the coverage areas of each device pair having a mutual intersection area between a sending coverage area and a receiving coverage area,wherein said method comprises steps of:
- determining at least one future trajectory of a disturbing mobile obstacle as a function of a set of prior positions of said disturbing mobile obstacle, a position of an obstacle being determined as a function of areas of mutual overlapping of at least two disturbed intersecting areas, a disturbed intersecting area having a given state of disturbance according to a determined criterion of quality of communications between the devices of the device pairs corresponding to said disturbed intersection area; and
establishing a forecast diagnostic of quality of communications in the network by examining the determined future trajectory or trajectories.
