Abstract
A method of communication between an access network and terminals. The access network includes half-duplex base stations, in which, when a downlink message is to be sent, in the course of a predetermined time interval, to a terminal that has sent an uplink message received by several base stations. Reception loads associated respectively with a group of base stations that have received the uplink message sent by the terminal are obtained. Each reception load being representative of a probability of reception, by the corresponding base station, of an uplink message in the course of the time interval. A base station is selected from among the base stations of the group, as a function of the reception loads obtained. The downlink message is transmitted by the selected base station.
