Abstract
A method of transmission in a transmission network comprising devices connected to the network, at least certain devices being linked by at least one wireless link. According to the present method, the wireless communications are performed according to an isochronous TDMA type protocol, in which a frame is divided into time windows allocated on reservation to devices, the allocation of a window of a frame to a device being such that any device can deduce it from the number of windows reserved per frame by each device and from at least one other parameter which identifies the device which made the request. The invention applies in particular to domestic wireless communication networks.
