Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé d'émission/réception d'un signal de liaison montante d'une bande de fréquences haute dans un système de communication sans fil, et un dispositif associé. En particulier, un procédé, réalisé au moyen d'un dispositif de réflexion, comprend les étapes consistant à : émettre, vers une station de base, des informations de signal incluant des informations liées à une intensité de réception et des informations liées à un angle de réception, sur la base d'un signal de synchronisation d'une bande de fréquences basse provenant d'un terminal ; recevoir, de la station de base, des informations de motif de faisceau pour commander un faisceau de réflexion d'une bande de fréquences haute, sur la base des informations de signal ; et émettre, vers la station de base, un signal de liaison montante de la bande de fréquences haute reçu du terminal, sur la base du faisceau de réflexion de la bande de fréquence haute.
