Abstract
Allocation of communications resources, in a mobile meshed network structured as a plurality of clusters each comprising at least one node, includes: generating a chart of configurations each comprising a different allocation priority index for each time slot of the time window, the indices varying from 0 to n−1; assigning a configuration,—among the generated set of configurations, to each cluster such that a predetermined number Np of priority indices are not assigned to the same slots for the clusters which are mutually adjacent; and allocating the time slots to the intra cluster communications in the order of priorities which are defined in the configuration assigned to the cluster, the priority index associated with a slot increasing with the order of allotting of a slot to a new communication, a new slot being allotted only if all the slots whose priority index is smaller are already allocated to a communication.
