Field: Telecommunications (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 24:
25. A dual-mode or multi-mode telecommunications terminal comprising:
a first radiofrequency (RF) circuit, including an antenna and multi-band RF components,
a second digital circuit of application-specific integrated circuit type or field-programmable gate array type (ASIC/FPGA type) for processing a physical layer of a multiple radio access, and
a third digital circuit of microcontroller and digital signal processor for processing a physical layer and higher layers of terrestrial mobile networks,
the terminal being wherein the first, second and third circuits are configured to:
emit at a given instant T on a random uplink UL data channel at a predetermined frequency to the access module one or more bursts of data, including an identifier and information regarding a geographical location of said terminal;
perform the acquisition of a carrier of a downlink DL data channel according to a carrier frequency identifier which was transmitted to the terminal by the access module and start listening for possible bursts transmitted on this DL carrier which are possibly intended for it;
dispatch to the central access module on the random uplink UL communication channel said one or more bursts of data as well as information relating to the location of said terminal at a new instant T+1.
