Self-adaptive method for the transmission of data, and implementation device
First Claim
1. A self-adaptive method for the transmission of data between stations of a decentralized radio system, comprising:
- allocating transmissions of information between the stations in an available frequency band;
grouping the transmissions in slots forming frames in time/frequency space, each frame comprising n slots of a same duration and a same width and being carried by an allocated frequency;
using the allocated transmission frequencies successively in time;
using the frames for each transmission from a station by occupancy of one and the same number of slots on the frames according to a modulo p operation, p being limited by an upper value; and
making a search, during a monitoring procedure, for free slots to determine parameters of occupancy of a future transmission made from a station, as a function of a state of occupancy of the frames of the time/frequency space existing before a transmission.

Abstract
A dynamic and decentralized self-adaptive method and system including allocation of all time/frequency resources available at a given moment to as many requesting mobile units as are necessary. Transmission between stations is performed by allocation of frequencies. For each frequency allocated, the transmissions are grouped in slots forming frames in a time/frequency space. Each frame includes n slots of a same duration and a same width. The method includes using the allocated transmission frequencies and the frames for each transmission from a station by occupancy of one and the same number of slots according to a modulo p operation. A search is made, during a monitoring procedure, for free slots to determine parameters of occupation of a transmission as a function of the state of occupancy of the frames of the time/frequency space existing before the transmission. With the noted method and system, simultaneous operation of a large number of stations, without planning, initial data or centralized management, while at the same time maintaining compatibility with waveforms of conventional systems and methods, is enabled.

50. A wireless communications system, comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive a signal representing a reception frequency picked up by a station, the receiver transmitting a demodulated slot occupancy signal to a network analyzer; a computing unit configured to reset a local time base based on a received signal indicating reception of frequencies; a table unit coupled to the network analyzer and configured to receive a signal indicating a level of power received during demodulated slots and compute a table of occupancy; a reception frequency management unit configured to receive a signal of a level of power received outside the demodulated slots and mange frequencies received to estimate jamming of a monitoring frequency used; a slot unit configured to compute transmission slots for a station locally attached thereto; a transmission frequency management unit coupled to the table unit; and a transmitter; wherein the slot unit transmits information to the transmission frequency management unit, which orders the transmitter to transmit at a frequency Fe. - View Dependent Claims (51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58)
