Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé d'acquisition d'informations de retard de trajet et un dispositif associé, le procédé d'un mode de réalisation de la présente invention comprenant : un premier dispositif d'élément de réseau générant des informations de détection de retard, les informations de détection de retard comprenant une estampille temporelle, et l'estampille temporelle étant utilisée pour représenter le moment d'envoi des informations de détection de retard ; le premier dispositif d'élément de réseau envoyant les informations de détection de retard à un second dispositif d'élément de réseau au moyen d'un trajet de transmission, le trajet de transmission étant utilisé pour représenter une liaison terrestre sans fil à sauts multiples entre le premier dispositif d'élément de réseau et le second dispositif d'élément de réseau ; le second dispositif d'élément de réseau peut déterminer des informations de retard des informations de détection de retard en fonction de l'estampille temporelle, et pendant la sélection de trajet suivante, un trajet de transmission de données peut être sélectionné à l'aide des informations de retard de trajet, ce qui permet de réduire le surdébit de signalisation et la complexité de sélection de trajet.
