ABSTRACT:
The communication method of the invention applies to communication stations adapted to communicate with each other when at least one of said communication stations supplies a control signal, said station then functioning in “base station” mode and the stations not supplying a control signal then functioning in “mobile station” mode.The method of the invention includes, for at least one communication between two communication stations functioning in mobile station mode, in connection with a first base station:an operation of determining a second station, during which a communication station functioning in mobile station mode able to function in base station mode is determined,a switching request operation during which a message representing a request to switch into base station mode is sent to the second station determined during the determination operation.
