Abstract: A method for communication between a station and at least a first access point belonging to a short-range radio network identified by a network identifier. The network includes a plurality of access points. The method is implemented by the station and includes: receiving, from the first access point, a message including the network identifier, at least one identifier of a second access point from the plurality of access points and a value of a connectivity parameter of the second access point; selecting, from the plurality of access points, depending on the at least one received value of a connectivity parameter, an access point to which to connect; and establishing a connection with the access point thus selected using its identifier.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of setting up a call between a central module (33) and a remote module (37) of the type comprising at least one first transmission channel and one second transmission channel according to distinct primary and secondary bit rates respectively. According to the invention, the method comprises the steps setting up a call by default on the first channel; listening and searching for a signal indicating a secondary bit-rate requirement, assuming a detection of the signal indicating a secondary bit-rate requirement, a phase for the switching of a bit rate from the first primary bit-rate transmission channel to the secondary bit-rate transmission channel, associated with a step for the masking, during a predetermined masking period, of an acknowledgement signal sent during the default setting-up phase. The invention also concerns a corresponding switching method, transmission network section and transmission network.
