Abstract

During a communication operation in a transponder system, consisting of a write/read station (1) and at least one transponder (2), a selection data block (SDB) is transmitted from the station (1) to at least one transponder (2) and, in response to the received selection data block (SDB), at least one transponder (2) transmits an identification data block (IDB) to the station (1). In response to the identification data block (IDB), the station (1) transmits an acknowledge data block (QDB) to the transponder (2) identified in the identification data block (IDB), the bit configuration of the acknowledge data block (QDB) being formed while using only a part (PM1) of the identification data block (IDB) associated with the transponder (2).
