PROCEDE ET SYSTEME DE COMMUNICATION ENTRE DEUX DISPOSITIFS

A method for communication between first and second devices includes the following stages: the first device sends a request to the second device; the second device receives the request; the second device sends the first device a response to the request; the first device receives the response; the second device estimates a period after which it will be able to send the response, as well as, in at least some cases, the following steps: before sending the response, the second device sends an acknowledgement to the first device, the acknowledgement including the estimated period; the first device receives the acknowledgement; the first device calculates a time interval based on the estimated period; the first device allows the time interval to elapse before starting to monitor the arrival of messages to detect the arrival of the response.
