Abstract: Predicting a channel between a transceiver and a connected vehicle having a “main antenna”, dedicated to exchanges of payload data with the transceiver, and a “predictor antenna”, placed in front of the main antenna to predict the radio channel dealt with by the main antenna when reaching the current position of the predictor antenna. The method includes: selecting, using an estimate of the vehicle's speed and acceleration, for a multiplet of channel samples measured at the main antenna, a multiplet of channel samples measured at the predictor antenna, each sample of the predictor antenna being selected to correspond to a sample of the main antenna subsequently measured at the same position; calculating a criterion associating multiplets of samples measured at the main and predictor antennas; and selecting samples of the predictor antenna using a speed/acceleration pair optimizing the criterion, to predict the channel between the transceiver and main antenna.
