A method of communication between two or more terminals (6, 7) with detection of interference, especially in a HiperLAN/2 system, comprising transmitting data between the terminals (6, 7) in electromagnetic signals of at least a first duration, the electromagnetic signals comprising one or more carrier frequencies within one or more ranges (1, 2) for which extra-system interference, especially with radar signals, is possible, at least one of the terminals (6, 7) being responsive to received signal strengths corresponding to intra-system interference (4, 17, 18). Detection of extra-system interference (5, 16) comprises at least one of the terminals (6, 7) responding selectively to received signal strengths that exceed a threshold level (19) for a second duration that is shorter than the first duration.
