Method and processing device for determining transmission channel resources to be allocated for a communication

A processing device for determining transmission channel resources to be allocated for a communication between a first communication device and a second communication device, the processing device comprising:

• means for obtaining an interference profile representative of interference with said communication implied by at least one predicted interferer, each predicted interferer being a device implying frequency-selective interference that has been detected beforehand;
• means for determining from the interference profile, for each set of transmission channel resources made available to perform said communication, a second figure of merit, referred to as second figure of merit, representative of robustness to frequency-selective interference with said communication that is expected to be implied by predicted interferers;
• means for determining, for each set of transmission channel resources made available to perform said communication, a first figure of merit representative of robustness to frequency-selective interference with said communication that might be implied by unpredicted interferers, knowing beforehand to what extent said interference might impact said communication;
• and
• means for selecting transmission channel resources that optimize the first figure of merit under a QoS-target constraint applied to the second figure of merit, the selected transmission channel resources being then the transmission channel resources to be allocated for the communication between the first communication device and the second communication device.
