Method and device for synchronising mobile terminals on a radio channel in direct mode

摘要

The invention concerns a method whereby each of the communication using the channel comprises transmission between mobile terminals (11-13) of signals distributed into traffic time intervals and uniformly distributed control time intervals during which one of the mobile terminals transmits synchronising and signalling signals. Some at least of the terminals determine standby time intervals aligned on the control intervals and maintained after communication, and are set in reception on the channel during the standby time intervals, with idle periods between said standby time intervals.
