A method of controlling entry of terminals in wireless communication networks, corresponding terminal and computer program product

Method for performing a network entry of a terminal (T1) to a wireless network including a base station (BS), said terminal having a capacity of maximum power, PMAX_CAP, the method including at least one attempt by said terminal (T1) to establish communication with said base station (BS) with a power level (102) within a range admitted power terminal, wherein said admitted power range for the terminal amounts to said maximum power capability , PMAX_CAP, of the terminal, the method including at least one attempt by said terminal (T1) to establish communication with said base station (BS) with an initial power level (102) within said admitted power range for the terminal and, in the absence of a response from said base station (BS), at least one repeated by said terminal (T1) to establish communication with said base station (BS) with a power level increased (114) relative to attempt said power level (102) starting within said range admitted power terminal, and the method including: - setting an initial upper limit, PTX_IR_MAX, for said admitted power range for the terminal, - said at least one repeated attempt by said terminal (T1) to establish communication with said base station (BS) with a power level increased (114) to said power level (102) starting within said range admitted power limited by said terminal limit initial superior, PTX_IR_MAX, - in the absence of a response from said base station (BS), increase this interval terminal admitted power beyond said initial upper limit, PTX_IR_MAX, to said maximum power capability, PTX_IR_MAX, the terminal; and - at least another repeated attempt by said terminal (T1) to establish communication with said base station (BS) with a power level increased (114) over said initial upper limit, PTX_IR_MAX.
