Claim:
A control method for a wireless communications network, said network being composed of a plurality of stations communicating with a plurality of mobiles in downlink mode, wherein said control method includes for a given station: i) for a mobile served by the given station, i1) computing a first elementary quantity taking into account an attenuation (L v,mu ) between each of a set of neighboring stations for the mobile, and a limit of total power emitted by each neighboring station for the mobile (P lim (v)); i2) computing an elementary product by multiplying the first elementary quantity by a second elementary quantity, wherein the second elementary quantity takes into account a communication requirement of the mobile vis-à-vis a server station of the set of neighboring stations (ξmu′) and an attenuation between the server station and the mobile (L u,mu ), which gives an elementary product; and ii) controlling a link between said server station and one or more mobiles served by the given station based on a load indicator derived from the elementary products related to each of the plurality of mobiles.
