1. A method of communication adapted to the transmission of data packets that can be transmitted according to various physical modes, wherein the method comprises:
- receiving a sub-frame comprising a plurality of bursts, each burst being associated with a different physical mode;
determining a packet error rate for each physical mode associated with said bursts, the determination being based on at least a burst of said plurality of bursts comprising at least a first MAC level packet intended for the apparatus performing the determination and on at least a burst of said plurality of bursts comprising at least a second MAC level packet not intended for said apparatus; and
selecting a physical mode based on the determined packet error rate.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method of communication adapted to the transmission of data packets that can be transmitted according to various physical modes.
In order to optimize transmission, the method comprises the following steps:
- reception of packets, each packet being sent in at least one radio burst associated with a physical mode chosen from a set of at least two physical modes;
- estimation of the packet error rate for each physical mode of the set.
