Patent ID: 7747783

Claim:
A method of communicating between communication stations adapted to communicate with each other when at least one of the communication stations supplies a synchronization signal, the station then functioning in base station mode and the stations not supplying a synchronization signal but synchronizing on a synchronization signal sent by a station functioning in base station mode then functioning in mobile station mode, wherein the method includes: a first transmission operation, during which a first base station transmits, to a mobile station, a request for the storage in memory and transmission, by the mobile station, of a message to a communication station for which the message is intended and which is not synchronized with the first base station; a detachment operation, during which the mobile station desynchronizes from the first base station, the mobile station then not being synchronized with the first base station; an attachment operation, during which the mobile station synchronizes with a second base station, without the two base stations synchronizing with each other, the two base stations then not being synchronized with each other; and a second transmission operation, during which the mobile station transmits, via the second base station, the message to the communication station for which the message is intended.
