Abstract: A method for reactivating a wireless communication network in accordance with one of the IEEE 802.11 standards is described. The communication network includes a plurality of gathering nodes, each gathering node includes at least one access-point and/or user radio-frequency interface and/or a user of a so-called backhaul wireless network associated with the communication network, which are deactivated in sending mode, A beacon frame sent by a master node of the reactivation method is propagated gradually in order to reactivate all the nodes in the network.

Abstract: A method, for a distributed wireless communication network, for managing the connection of a client node to a first gathering node is provided. A quality indicator presenting a quality of the connection is determined. If the quality indicator indicates a poor quality, then: to each gathering node of the network, a command to collect quality data is sent, messages comprising the quality data are received, for each gathering node, a quality indicator is determined, and a second gathering node according to the quality indicators determined is selected. If the second gathering node is different from the first gathering node, then to each gathering node, except for the second gathering node, a command to refuse association with the client node is sent.

Abstract: This unit implements a remote-control console (20) supporting a tablet (18). The console comprises a TX/RX module (48) interfaced with a TX/RX module (50) of the tablet to form a first Wi-Fi local network, which is a short-range standard network. The console comprises another specific TX/RX module (54), interfaced with an TX/RX module (58) of the drone (10) to form a second Wi-Fi local network, which is an optimized long-range network, both being networks operating on non-shared channels. A bidirectional routing module (78) ensures the interfacing between the two Wi-Fi networks, to allow the transparent exchange of data between the drone (10) and the tablet (18), as well as with levers and buttons of the console (64, 66) or with a peripheral (80) connected thereto.
