Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé pour le placement de paquets de données entre des terminaux mobiles d'utilisateurs (1a,...,1n) et un réseau de radiotéléphonie mobile (2), comprenant les étapes suivantes. Au moins deux premiers canaux de communication (3a,...,3n) sont établis entre au moins deux terminaux d'utilisateur (1a,...,1n) et un nœud d'accès (4) du réseau de radiotéléphonie mobile (2). Au moins un second canal de communication (5a, 5b) est établi entre le nœud d'accès (4) et un nœud de réseau (6) du réseau de radiotéléphonie mobile (2). Au moins deux des premiers canaux de communication (3a,...,3n) sont liés en au moins un groupe de canaux de communication qui est respectivement associé à un second canal de communication (5a, 5b). Des paquets de données sont transmis entre les premiers canaux de communication (3a,...,3n) d'un des groupes de canaux de communication et le second canal de communication associé au groupe de canaux de communication respectif (5a, 5b) au moyen du nœud d'accès (4).
