  • Patent number: 12022450
    Abstract: Mobile telephony operators are starting to use unlicensed frequency bands in order to increase the throughput of their mobile telephony network at a low cost. However, the use of the unlicensed frequency bands has certain drawbacks. It is difficult for a mobile terminal to use unlicensed frequency bands as the number of mobile terminals wishing to use these unlicensed frequency bands remains high given the capacities of these frequency bands. The development allows a user device located in a zone of overlapping radio coverage of two base stations to use a shared frequency band with a greater probability of access to the frequency band, while reducing the impact of interferences generated by communications established between user devices and the base stations to which they are connected.
