Abstract
The method concerns a method of communication between end-user terminals and user terminals that are static or have low relative mobility with respect to each other, wherein a control server: —selects the terminals that are static or have low relative mobility from among the assembly of terminals, the other terminals being referred to as end terminals; —determines a graph, the nodes of which are static or low relative mobility terminals, —determines, on this graph of nodes, a sub-graph of dominant nodes; —selects, in the sub-graph of dominant nodes, at least one gateway node capable of establishing a communication with the Cloud Computing type network over their second cellular communication link; —selects the nodes of the graph which do not belong to the nodes of the sub-graph, as nodes having only the access/relay function to the dynamic multi-hop proximity network for the end-user terminals; —transmits its hierarchy status over the second cellular communication link, only individually to each of the various static or low relative mobility terminals.
