    Patent number: 8203945
    Abstract: According to this method, each terminal is adapted to cover a coverage area. The method includes a step of sending a request-to-send data signal from a first terminal to a second terminal located in its coverage areas to advise the second terminal that the first terminal is requesting to send it data, and a step of sending a clear-to-send data signal to the first terminal to advise the first terminal that the second terminal is available to receive the data. The method further includes a step of a third terminal that has received the clear-to-send data signal and has not received the request-to-send signal sending a request-to-receive data signal to advise that it is available to receive data.
