7. Method according to claim 1, wherein said parameter is selected from among:
FIG. 1 shows a wireless communications system 1 implementing two wireless networks. A first network comprises two access points AP1 1001 and AP2 1002 covering in transmission a space corresponding for example to a floor of a building or to a house and delimited by an exterior wall 10, that is to say covering the set of rooms 10001 to 10006. The access point AP1 1001 is located in a zone 8 10001 b of a room 10001 and the access point AP2 1002 is located in a zone 3 corresponding to a room 10003. A second network comprises 8 nodes 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107 and 108 distributed in a space corresponding for example to a floor of a building or to a house. This space is surrounded by a partition wall 10 that contains is and comprises rooms 10001, 10002, 10003, 10004, 10005 and 10006 delimited by walls 11, 12, 13, and 14 each comprising one or two openings to enable circulation of persons from one room to another. The rooms 10002, 10003, 10004 and 10005 each comprise a node, respectively referenced 102, 103, 104 and 105. The rooms 10001 and 10006 of greater size than the other rooms each comprise two nodes, respectively referenced 101, 108 and 106, 107. Each of the rooms containing a unique node forms a zone (called zone 2, zone 3, zone 4 and zone 5) and each of the rooms containing two nodes forms two zones, each of the zones comprising a unique node. Thus, the room 10001 comprising the nodes N1 101 and N8 108 forms two zones delimited by a dotted line, respectively zone 1 and zone 8 (respectively referenced 10001 a and 10001 b) each comprising a node, respectively N1 101 and N8 108. The room 10006 comprising the nodes N6 106 and N7 107 forms two zones delimited by a dotted line, respectively zone 6 and zone 7 (respectively referenced 10006 a and 10006 b) each comprising a node, respectively N6 106 and N7 107. The network comprising the nodes N1 to N8, called the second network in the remainder of the description, advantageously forms a mesh network using for example the protocol “Zigbee” based on the standard IEEE 802.15.4. The nodes N1 to N8 exchange data using one or several channel frequencies belong to the 2.4 GHz band of frequencies. The network comprising the access points AP1 and AP2, called the first network in the remainder of the description, advantageously forms a Wi-Fi® network and uses one or several channel frequencies belonging to the 5 GHz band of frequencies. The first wireless network is advantageously physically different from the second wireless network. Generally, a network is characterized by the access points or the nodes that comprise it, by the use of a band of frequencies, by the standard implemented, by a temporal period of activity. The first and second networks are different for example in that the access points (or the nodes) that comprise them are distinct and/or in that they use different bands of frequencies and/or in that they implement different standards (for example respectively Wi-Fi® and Zigbee) and/or in that the activity periods (that is to say periods of data transmission/reception) are different from one network to the other. According to a variant, the access points AP1, AP2 of the first network are different to the nodes 101 to 108 of the second network from a hardware perspective. According to a variant, the access points AP1, AP2 are different to the nodes 101 to 108 from a software perspective.
