Abstract:
An antenna is selected in a system including a first and at least one second device. The system forms a communication network of TDMA type where each communication occurs in frames. The first device includes plural antennas that each covers a predefined sector near the antennas. The frames are organised in a succession of groups of consecutive frames, each group being organised in a structure associating each frame with a pair formed by an antenna of the first device and of a second device, each possible pair being associated with a different frame in the group according to a position of the frame in the group. For each device including plural antennas: information is obtained representing communication quality between the device's antenna and the first or a second device's antenna, and the antenna is selected having the highest communication quality with an antenna of the first or a second device.

Claim (Index 7):
A pilotless mobile device included in a system comprising a first device and at least one pilotless mobile device, the system forming a communication network in which the first device communicates with each pilotless mobile device using a medium-access technique of the time division multiple access type in which each communication takes place in frames, each frame being divided into a plurality of timeslots comprising a first slot enabling the first device to transmit a first signal designating a pilotless mobile device and enabling each pilotless mobile device to synchronise timewise on a time reference of the first device, and a second slot enabling the pilotless mobile device designated by the first signal to transmit a second signal in response to the first signal, the first device and each pilotless mobile device each comprising a plurality of antennas each covering a predefined sector in the vicinity of said plurality, wherein:\n the frames used in said system are organised in a succession of groups of consecutive frames, each group of frames being organised in a group structure associating each frame with a pair formed by an antenna of the first device and a pilotless mobile device, each possible pair being associated with a different frame in the group of frames according to the position of said frame in said group, information representing the group structure being shared between the first device and each pilotless mobile device; and wherein the pilotless mobile device comprises: obtaining means for obtaining, from the first signal transmitted in each frame in a group of frames, information representing a quality of communication between an antenna of the first device and an antenna of said pilotless mobile device; and selection means for selecting, from each item of information representing a quality of communication between an antenna of the first device and an antenna of said pilotless mobile device, the antenna in its plurality of antennas offering the highest quality of communication between the first device and said pilotless mobile device.
