Abstract

A communication of a first terminal is managed in a communication network comprising subnetworks. The first terminal can communicate with at least one second terminal and at least one subnetwork of the network is accessible via this second terminal. At the level of the first terminal, information relating to resources of the subnetwork which is accessible via the second terminal is received from the second terminal. On the basis of this information, a subnetwork is selected for the communication of the first terminal from among a set of subnetworks of the network comprising at least this subnetwork accessible via the second terminal.
