Abstract

A message transmission system includes at least one primary station arranged for making transmissions on a down-link and a plurality of secondary stations arranged for making transmissions on an up-link, each of the secondary stations having its own address which is transmitted as part of the down-link message. Each of the secondary stations is configured for generating responses to messages as pseudo-random data sequences, the pseudo-random data sequence being generated by a secondary station at any one time being dependent on at least the address assigned to the secondary station and/or information contained in the message.
