Abstract

A method is provided for monitoring a communication between a transmitting equipment item and a receiving equipment item, the transmitting equipment item transmitting control frames (TC_i) toward the receiving equipment item. The method makes it possible to optimize the frequency of transmission of diagnostic frames (TDx_i), thereby making it possible to avoid saturating the communication link and causing an overconsumption of electrical energy, while guaranteeing a high reliability concerning the state of the communication. The method makes it possible notably to adapt in real time the transmission of the diagnostic frames (TDx_i) to the state of the communication, by taking account of the fact that disturbances prevent the control frames (TC_i) from being correctly transmitted by the transmitting equipment item or received by the receiving equipment item and to adapt the transmission of the diagnostic frames (TDx_i) to the value of the rate of probability of occurrence of a communication failure (τfail), this rate being recalculated on each transmission of a control frame.
