Abstract

The present invention concerns a method for terminals to have access to a common resource of a network. It is characterised in that the said network defines the access conditions of a plurality of access classes and transmits the said conditions to all the terminals liable to have access to the said resource and in that a terminal wishing to have access to the said resource determines the access class to which it belongs according to its access state and gains access to the said resource according to the access conditions of the said access class thus determined.
