Abstract

Un mode de réalisation de la présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de communication : un terminal détermine que le nombre de fois où une demande d'accès aléatoire est envoyée par une première porteuse de liaison montante atteint un certain seuil ou que le nombre de retransmissions d'une couche de commande de liaison radio (RLC) de la première porteuse de liaison montante atteint un certain seuil ; le terminal déclenche une commutation vers une seconde porteuse de liaison montante pour communiquer avec un dispositif de réseau, la première porteuse de liaison montante et la seconde porteuse de liaison montante appartenant à une même cellule. Au moyen du présent procédé et du dispositif de communication, la prévention du déclenchement d'un processus de RLF est possible.
