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 1):
A method for selecting an antenna in a system comprising a first device and at least one second mobile device, the system forming a communication network in which the first device communicates with each second 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 second device and enabling each second device to synchronise timewise on a time reference of the first device, and a second slot enabling the second device designated by the first signal to transmit a second signal in response to the first signal in order to acknowledge its presence in the system, at least the first device 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 of a second device, each possible pair being associated with a different frame in the group of frames according to a position of said frame in said group, information representing the structure of the group being shared between the first and each second device; and wherein the method comprises, for each device in the system comprising a plurality of antennas: obtaining, from the first and second signal transmitted in each frame in a group of frames, information representing a quality of communication between an antenna of said device and an antenna of the first or of a second device; and selecting, from all the information representing a quality of communication obtained, the antenna in its plurality of antennas offering the highest quality of communication with an antenna of the first or of a second device.
