A control method allocates to a base station, at a control member of the base station, a list of channels shared by several terminals containing several sets of shared channels. For a communication session between the base station and a specific terminal, the method indicates to the terminal the list of shared channels allocated to the base station. At the base station, the method selects for the terminal one of the sets of shared channels, and independently of the control member, indicates the selected set to the terminal via a dedicated channel.
