Abstract:
A method of data transmission is between nodes of a MANET communications network on a high-frequency radio channel shared by division of the access time. Each network node is assigned a transmission time slot in a transmission frame, and at least one auxiliary transmission slot is provided and is accessible by a node that has detected the occupation of the radio channel in the time slot assigned to it. Each node is arranged for determining a local time reference for the calculation of the corresponding transmission slot and access to the radio channel, and includes receiving a positioning signal from a geographical positioning system equipping the node, and determining a universal reference time therefrom.
