Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de traitement (100) destiné à un dispositif client (300), le dispositif de traitement (100) détermine la nécessité d'effectuer une procédure d'accès aléatoire (RA) lorsqu'il est dans un mode connecté avec un noeud d'accès au réseau (400) à l'aide d'un faisceau de liaison descendante de desserte (502). Le dispositif de traitement (100) obtient en outre des paramètres RA pour la procédure RA, les paramètres RA indiquant au moins une ressource RA et au moins un préambule RA. Le dispositif de traitement (100) sélectionne en outre un faisceau de liaison montante (512) pour la procédure RA sur la base d'une association quasi colocalisée avec une ressource de signal de référence reçue dans un faisceau de liaison descendante provenant du noeud d'accès au réseau (400), et envoie le préambule RA dans la ressource RA vers le noeud d'accès au réseau (400) à l'aide du faisceau de liaison montante (512) sélectionné de façon à initier la procédure RA. L'invention concerne en outre un dispositif client (300), des procédés correspondants et un produit-programme d'ordinateur.
