Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé qui permettent de contrôler les fonctions d'exploration d'une unité d'abonné mobile (6) utilisée par tel ou tel abonné d'un système de communication. Le processus consiste à enregistrer dans l'unité d'abonné mobile une liste d'un ou de plusieurs groupes (204) auxquels l'abonné est rattaché, d'associer une priorité à chacun des groupes de la liste, lorsqu'une communication est reçue en vue de son relai, à déterminer le groupe vers lequel la communication doit être relayée ainsi que le degré de priorité associé à ce groupe; on détermine ensuite si le traitement d'une communication à relayer est en cours afin de comparer le niveau de priorité de cette communication et celui de la communication qui vient d'être reçue et, partant, de privéligier la réception de la communication ayant le degré de priorité le plus élevé.
