Claim Text:
1. A method for identifying uplink multiplexing resources of a multi-beam satellite that can be used in a terrestrial telecommunications system by a transmitting station to transmit radio-electric signals to a receiving station, comprising the steps of: estimating a maximum interference level authorized with respect to the satellite for an uplink multiplexing resource for radio-electric signals transmitted from a zone of coverage, wherein the transmitting station or the receiving station is a base station having a range delimiting the zone of coverage in which the transmitting station is situated, and wherein different beams of satellite use different uplink multiplexing resources; estimating a radiation power of the radio-electric signals transmitted by the transmitting station; measuring, by the transmitting station, a real reception level of the radio-electric signals transmitted by the satellite; determining a potential level of interference of the transmitting station as a function of the real reception level measured and of the estimated radiation power of the transmitting station; and determining whether said uplink multiplexing resource is usable by the transmitting station by comparing the potential level of interference of the transmitting station with the maximum interference level authorized for said uplink multiplexing resource.
