Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et un appareil donnant une diversité de canaux à des terminaux sans fil (WT) d'une manière réduisant la latence pendant le temps qu'un (WT) rencontre des conditions de canaux satisfaisantes. Une pluralité de canaux de communication ayant des caractéristiques physiques différentes sont maintenus dans une cellule par une station de base (BS). Chaque WT contrôle de multiples canaux et conserve des estimations de multiples canaux en même temps, de manière qu'une commutation rapide entre les canaux est possible. Les informations de qualité des canaux sont transmises depuis chaque WT à la BS. Le WT ou la BS sélectionne un canal sur la base de la qualité des canaux mesurée. La prise en charge de canaux multiples et l'introduction de variations périodiques dans les canaux, dans divers modes de réalisation, permet de réduire au minium le temps nécessaire pour qu'un WT rencontre un canal dont les conditions sont bonnes ou acceptables, même si le WT ne change par d'emplacement. Des antennes multiples sont utilisées au niveau de la BS afin d'accepter simultanément de nombreux canaux, par exemple par commande des diagrammes d'antennes.
