Abstract:
1. A method for the transmission of a plurality of logical flows for multiple exchange of command/response pairs on a single physical exchange channel between a master transceiver and a slave transceiver, these logical flows comprising at least one base logical flow, initiated by the master transceiver, subject to the same master/slave relation as said single physical exchange channel, the master respectively slave transceiver allowing the execution of at least one software application, comprising the step of: generating in the one of the base logical flows taken as reference logical flow, a set of concurrent logical flows, wherein: each concurrent logical flow is formed by successive elementary packets segmenting the command/response pairs, said successive elementary packets forming the set of concurrent logical flows being transmitted on said reference logical flow, two concurrent logical flows of this set allowing the independent and substantially simultaneous transmission of distinct command/response pairs, initiation and continuation of any exchange of command/response pairs is carried out on the initiative of the master transceiver on the basis of specific commands transmitted on this reference flow and the segmentation into successive elementary packets is carried out on the initiative of the slave transceiver on the basis of specific responses transmitted in response to these specific commands on this reference flow, thereby allowing the exchange of independent and substantially simultaneous command/response pairs between at least one pair of applications of the master, respectively slave, transceiver.
