Abstract

La présente invention concerne, dans certains modes de réalisation, un procédé de communication, un dispositif réseau et un dispositif terminal. L'invention concerne un procédé de communication mis en œuvre au niveau d'un dispositif réseau, consistant: à recevoir des informations d'indication de bande provenant d'un dispositif terminal, les informations d'indication de bande étant obtenues par le dispositif terminal sur la base d'un premier signal de référence provenant du dispositif réseau; à déterminer, sur la base des informations d'indication de bande, une bande cible pour émettre un second signal de référence; et à émettre le second signal de référence au dispositif terminal sur la bande cible. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé de communication mis en œuvre au niveau d'un dispositif terminal, ainsi que le dispositif réseau et le dispositif terminal correspondants.
