Patent ID: 8489016

Claim:
A method of communication between at least one source entity and one destination entity, in a cooperative network comprising a plurality of entities, the method comprising: a step of determining, for a source entity of said network, a temporal variation of an impulse response of a transmission channel established between said source entity and a destination entity of said network, comprising calculating a temporal correlation function of this transmission channel; a step of determining a temporal variation of an impulse response of at least one of a plurality of global transmission channels established between the source entity and the destination entity and passing through at least one mobile relay entity, based on temporal variations of impulse responses of transmission channels established between the source entity and the relay entity and between the relay entity and the destination entity, comprising calculating a temporal correlation function of each of both the transmission channels established between the source entity and the relay entity and between the relay entity and the destination entity; and a step of selecting a global transmission channel from among different global transmission channels of the plurality of global transmission channels.
