Abstract

A method is provided for regulating transmission implemented by a station, having at least one packet to be transmitted via a communication network, and participating in at least one tournament composed of a succession of selection rounds. The method includes: obtaining by the station, for each selection round of a first tournament, a binary value assigned to the station, representative either of an authorization to transmit, or of a prohibition to transmit, transmitting, on completion of the first tournament, at least one packet by the station when the station determines, as a function of at least one of the binary values assigned to the station for the selection rounds of the first tournament, that the station is authorized to transmit. The at least one packet transmitted by the station includes data representative of the succession of binary values assigned to the station for the selection rounds.
