Abstract

The methods for transmission of sequences or frames of data provide for retransmitting, with a central device (21), frames of data which reach it, to destination devices, by transmission of downlink frames when the destination device is a peripheral device (24), each downlink frame having systematically a service message activating a protocol controlling access to the transmission medium shared by the central device (21) and the peripheral devices (24), and possibly a frame of data. The central device (21) and at least one peripheral device (24) form a system which is particularly well suited to a local area network, notably with a wireless transmission medium.
