Method for Avoiding Congestion in a Data Network with Transmitting Devices Such as Modems Communicating with Satellites by Statistically Modifying the Transmission Slot of the Devices

摘要

A method for transmitting data from a population of devices to a relay station travelling with respect to one another. For transmitting the data to the relay station, each device includes at least one transmission slot resulting from a channel access method and a transmission window within which the relay station is to travel. The relay station is to broadcast an instruction to the population of devices before the data transmission, and, upon receiving the instruction, at least part of the population of devices is to set a modified transmission slot.
