Patent ID: 8879528

Claim:
A method of allocating communications resources in a mobile meshed network comprising a plurality of nodes communicating with one another by way of radio links, each node comprising at least one processor, said communications resources comprising at least one time window comprising at least a plurality of time slots during which said nodes are or are not authorized to communicate, said meshed network being structured as a plurality of clusters each comprising at least one node, said method comprising: generating, using at least one processor, a chart of configurations, each configuration comprising a different allocation priority index for each time slot of said time window, said allocation priority indices varying from 0 to n−1, n being a strictly positive integer equal to the number of time slots, assigning, using the at least one processor, a configuration, from among the generated configurations, to each cluster such that a strictly positive, predetermined number Np of allocation priority indices are not assigned to the same slots for the clusters which are mutually adjacent, and allocating, using the at least one processor, the time slots to intra cluster communications in order of the priorities which are defined in the configuration assigned to said cluster.
