Abstract:
1. A communication method for a cellular telecommunications system including at least one first couple of terminals formed by a first transmitting terminal and a first receiving terminal and a second couple of terminals formed by a second transmitting terminal and a second receiving terminal, a first communication between the terminals of the first couple using the same radio resources as a second communication between the terminals of the second couple, such that the two communications interfere with each other, the communication method comprising: estimating channel coefficients between said transmitting terminals and said receiving terminals; determining an interference diagram for at least the first receiving terminal, the diagram being obtained for a first transmission power range of the first transmitting terminal and a second transmission power range of the second transmitting terminal, and for at least one couple of rates for the first and second communications; for the considered couple of rates, determining a partition of the diagram into different zones, each zone corresponding to a distinct type of processing of the interference for at least the first communication; selecting a zone of the partition containing an operating point of the first and second receiving terminals; and performing, at least in the first receiving terminal, processing for the interference corresponding to the zone selected by the selecting.
