Claim 5:
6. The method of space communication as claimed in claim 5, wherein the control data relating to the implementation of the economizer mechanism for saving electrical energy of the at least one user terminal are signaled in a specific signaling header containing the following two items of information:
a next downgoing frequency, next frequency burst DL, that the at least one user terminal must listen for, referenced to a known index or frequency channel number or a relative frequency value with respect to a current frequency; and
a next start instant, next start burst DL, from which the at least one user terminal must listen, the next start instant indicating the start instant of the next downgoing DL burst and being able to be expressed as a multiple number of bursts from the end of the current burst listened to.
