Abstract: A method for communicating over a radio frequency channel in a network including a primary node and multiple secondary nodes for telecommunications comprises receiving, by a secondary node on the radio frequency channel, beacon messages sent by nodes in its radio neighborhood, each indicating a number of radio hops separating the primary node from the node of the radio neighborhood having sent the message, selecting, by the secondary node, called child node, the node from the wireless neighborhood having sent the beacon message indicating a minimum number of hops as the parent node, and in order to send information to the primary node, transmitting the information over the radio frequency channel to the parent node thus selected.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for communicating over a radiofrequency channel in a network including a primary node and multiple secondary nodes (10) for telecommunications. The communication method comprises the following steps: reception by a secondary node (10) on the radiofrequency channel of beacon messages (16) sent by nodes in its radio neighborhood, each indicating a number of radio hops separating the primary node from said node (10) of the radio neighborhood having sent the message; selection by said secondary node (10), called child node, of the node from the wireless neighborhood having sent the beacon message (16) indicating a minimum number of hops as the parent node; in order to send information (19) to the primary node, transmission of said information (19) over the radiofrequency channel to said parent node thus selected.
