Abstract

L'invention concerne un terminal de communication sans fil communiquant sans fil avec un terminal de base de communication sans fil. Une unité d'émission et réception RF émet et reçoit un signal sans fil. Une unité de modulation et démodulation module et démodule le signal sans fil. L'unité d'émission et réception RF émet, en direction du terminal de base de communication sans fil, un signal sans fil comprenant des données, et l'unité de modulation et démodulation démodule une première trame à partir du signal sans fil reçu depuis le terminal de base de communication sans fil. La première trame indique si des données transmises par chacun d'une pluralité de terminaux de communication sans fil comprenant le terminal de communication sans fil sont reçues.
