Abstract

Random accesses are regulated in a radio-assisted local network having at least one access point, a reachable radio station located in the radio coverage area of the at least one access point, at least one remote radio station located outside the radio coverage area of the at least one access point and inside the radio coverage area of the reachable radio station. The at least one access point temporarily allocates radio resources, for sending information, to radio stations inside the radio coverage area. The reachable radio station sends a signal to the at least one remote radio station, containing information on the permissibility of random access by the at least one remote radio station to the radio resources of the at least one access point.
