Abstract
A method of communication between a user terminal powered by a battery and a base station allowing optimization of the management of the battery of the user terminal, includes a step of selecting from among terminals, termed surrounding terminals, powered by battery and situated in a zone within range of the base station, terminals whose distance with the user terminal is less than a predetermined distance and whose battery level is greater than a predetermined threshold, termed neighbour terminals, a step of configuring the neighbour terminals and the user terminal by way of a configuration setpoint, a step of transmitting data between the user terminal and the base station according to the configuration setpoint defining at least one neighbour terminal through which the data pass.
