Abstract:
1. A method for allocating data-transmission frequency resources in a radiofrequency communications network, which comprises at least one multi-channel access point exchanging data with at least one terminal linked to the multi-channel access point, said multi-channel access point managing a set of at least two transmission frequency channels, the method comprising: implementing, by said multi-channel access point, a phase of associating and authenticating a terminal with said multi-channel access point, comprising a step of associating, with said terminal, a unique identifier in said multi-channel access point; and implementing, by said multi-channel access point a phase of managing said set of transmission frequency channels, implementing a reference table associating, with a terminal, identified by its unique identifier, one of said transmission frequency channels, said multi-channel access point being capable of simultaneously transmitting on said at least two frequency channels and said phase of managing comprising the following steps: detecting a switching of a terminal linked to said multi-channel access point, from a first transmission frequency channel, called an initial transmission frequency channel, to a second transmission frequency channel, called a destination transmission frequency channel; and updating said reference table to associate the unique identifier of said terminal with said destination transmission frequency channel.
