1. A method for controlling congestion in a communications network comprising a plurality of terminals able to send a message, said method comprising:

  • receiving a message or a message fragment at a given instant,evaluating the number of terminals currently operating in transmission,defining a time interval, called a congestion window, of duration Δ

    Tf configured so as to be proportional to the number N of terminals currently operating in transmission and inversely proportional to the maximum input loading G of the network which makes it possible to obtain a substantially zero rate of retransmissions, andfor each terminal and each message or message fragment to be sent, making the start of the congestion window coincide with said given instant of receipt of a message or message fragment and defining an actual instant of sending of said message or message fragment as a random value taken in the congestion window.
