Abstract
The invention relates to a method of data transmission by an ad-hoc network of mobile communication equipment (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d), from at least one source equipment (12) to at least one collection terminal (14), by means of mobile relay equipment (16c), in which for each communication equipment, at least one quality factor is updated (Q0, Q1, Q2 Q3, Q4, Q5). According to the invention, the quality factor of each relay equipment depends on a history of data transmission, and data transmission from mobile equipment to mobile relay equipment is conditional on the quality factor of the relay equipment capable of receiving the data.
