Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif pour surveiller un canal de commande de liaison descendante dans un système de communication sans fil. Un procédé de fonctionnement d'une station de base dans un système de communication sans fil peut comprendre les étapes consistant à : transmettre des informations de configuration relatives à un accès de canal directionnel de la station de base à un terminal par l'intermédiaire d'une signalisation de couche supérieure ; effectuer l'accès de canal directionnel sur la base des informations de configuration ; et transmettre des informations de commande de liaison descendante (DCI) comprenant un résultat de l'accès au canal directionnel au terminal.
