Abstract
A method for associating a terminal to a base station of an access network. When a base station receives a message from the terminal, the base station updates a local association table by storing an identifier of the terminal in the local association table. A predetermined mobility criterion of the terminal is evaluated by the access network. When the mobility criterion is verified, a neighbouring base station that has not received the message from the terminal updates the local association table of the neighbouring base station by storing the identifier of the terminal in the local association table of the neighbouring base station.
