L'invention concerne un procédé par lequel un point d'accès (AP) transmet une trame de radio de réveil (WUR) dans un système LAN sans fil (WLAN) selon un mode de réalisation et comprend : une étape de génération d'une trame de WUR comprenant une partie de préambule de WUR et une partie d'informations de commande sur la base d'un procédé de modulation par tout ou rien (OOK) ; et une étape consistant à transmettre la trame de WUR générée sur la base du procédé OOK, un dernier symbole parmi une pluralité de symboles, qui sont inclus dans la partie de préambule de WUR, étant défini en tant que symbole d'arrêt de façon à distinguer la partie de préambule de WUR de la partie d'informations de commande, et une séquence de synchronisation pour la trame de WUR pouvant être transmise de manière répétitive, dans un domaine temporel, au moins deux fois sur des symboles prédéfinis situés avant le symbole d'arrêt de la partie de préambule de WUR.
