Abstract

A method of random access by a user to a resource shared according to a protocol of the ALOHA type. If the instant of transmission of a data packet for a user that is supplied by at least one first random variable conflicts with time ranges of access to the resource that have been the object of prior booking, the random variable is temporarily modified into a modified second random variable of the same mean and greater variance as the at least one first random variable.
