Abstract
The invention relates to a method for monitoring a communication between a transmitter entity and a receiver entity. It consists of the transmission of diagnostic frames D dedicated to the monitoring of the communication. The objective of the monitoring is to ascertain the state of the communication before the next data communication frame C so as to be able to ensure that the latter has the maximum chance of taking place. Accordingly, at least one diagnostic frame D must be transmitted before the probable next transmission of a data communication frame C. The instant of transmission Tdiag[0] of the first diagnostic frame D is determined from the minimum period to be complied with between the transmission of two communication frames C. The instants of transmission Tdiag[i] of the diagnostic frames D which follow the first diagnostic frame transmitted at the instant Tdiag[0] are determined on the basis of an increasing function.
