A residential gateway receives a message from a terminal device by radiocommunication channel. The residential gateway is part of a communication system comprising a plurality of residential gateways connected to a server for which said message is intended. The residential gateway determines whether said terminal device has previously been paired with said residential gateway. If this is the case, the residential gateway transmits an acknowledgement to the terminal device by radiocommunication channel, and propagates the message to the server. If not, the residential gateway activates a time delay of a predefined duration after which, when no acknowledgement of said message by radiocommunication channel has been detected, the residential gateway transmits an acknowledgement to the terminal device by radiocommunication channel, and propagates the message to the server. |
