Abstract: A method for synchronizing in a TDMA frequency-hopping ad-hoc telecommunications network wherein slots includes at least one dwell of set duration and a guard time at least equal to the maximum propagation time in the network are respectively reserved for the emissions of one particular piece of equipment of the network, comprising: a first step of periodically allocating at least one slot per piece of equipment of the network for the transmission of a beacon, a second step wherein the beacon is emitted, a third step wherein each first piece of equipment of the network estimates a time difference ?t from a start time of the slot and from an actual reception time of the beacon, and a fourth step wherein the first piece of equipment of the network uses the time difference ?t for the reception of data slots sent by the second piece of equipment of the network.

Abstract: A method is provided for optimizing the adaptation of communication routes in a network consisting of wireless communication nodes, with transfer of information between nodes by relays. This optimization notably enables the communications capabilities to be increased within a self-organized MANET-type network (“Mobile Ad Hoc Network”) which is present notably in radio networks.
