A method for transmitting data by a terminal connected to a data relay device, the data transmitted by the terminal being forwarded by the data relay device, the data relay device being configured to forward said data within one or more of a plurality of separate time windows, the method comprising the following steps, implemented by the terminal:
- receiving, from the data relay device, an invitation message to transmit data, said message being received in advance of a start of said one of more of a plurality of separate time windows;
- in response to said invitation message, selecting, by said terminal, a set of data to transmit;
- producing a data message to be transmitted, comprising the selected set of data;
- sending the data message to the data relay device in response to the invitation message,
- wherein said invitation message originates from the data relay device and is sent by the data relay device to the terminal only when the relay device has passband available which guarantees immediate forwarding of the data message by the data relay device.
