Abstract:
1. A communication method between a first and second distinct ad hoc network with first and second network nodes, respectively, said first and second ad hoc networks being connected by a gateway system, the gateway system comprising first telecommunications means with at least one first node of the first network nodes meds and second telecommunications means with a second node of the second network nodes, the first and second network nodes being equipped with radio communication means and geographic location means, the method comprising the following steps: a) collecting first and second geographical location information for the first and second network nodes, respectively, said first and second geographical location information being determined and transmitted by said first and second nodes, respectively; b) deducing a first and second geographical coverage area of the first and second networks, respectively, based on the first and second geographical location information, respectively; c) determining an intersection zone of the first and second geographical coverage areas; d) identifying, based on the first and second geographical location information, nodes of the first and second network nodes, respectively, located inside said intersection zone; and e) sending said identified nodes of the first network nodes, from the gateway system and via said first node, data indicating collected geographical locations of the identified nodes of the second network nodes.
