Abstract
A method for wireless underground data transmission between a large number of mobile stations and a fixed network involves the mobile stations being stored in depersonalized form, advantageously in a loading station. Upon removal, the mobile stations are personalized using a personalization device associated with the mobile station, for example by inputting a code or by an RFID card arranged close by which makes contact with the mobile station without touching it, so that said mobile station can also be reached by means of a personalized user identifier in addition to the associated appliance-specific identifier. Following use, each mobile station is depersonalized using the personalization device associated with the mobile station when it is returned to the storage station.

16. A method for wireless underground data transmission between a multiplicity of mobile stations, each having at least one transmission and reception device, and a fixed network data transmission between the mobile station and the fixed network takes place wirelessly via at least one base station and each mobile station is reached by means of an appliance-specific identifier associated with the respective mobile station, the method comprising the steps of:
-
depersonalized storage of every mobile station, prior to its use, in a storage station; personalization of every mobile station before, during or after removal from the storage station by means of a personalization device associated with the mobile station, so that said mobile station can be reached not only by means of the associated appliance-specific identifier but also by means of a personalized user identifier; and depersonalization of every mobile station upon return to the storage station by means of the personalization device associated with the mobile station. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method for wireless underground data transmission between a multiplicity of mobile stations, each having at least one transmission and reception device, and a fixed network, data transmission between the mobile station and the fixed network takes place wirelessly via at least one base station, and each mobile station is reached by means of an appliance-specific identifier associated with the respective mobile station, the method comprising the steps of:
-
one of continuously or intermittently detecting movements by the mobile station using a motion sensor of the mobile station, the motion sensor controlled by a controlled device; and transmission of an automatic alarm by the control device to the fixed network if movements of the mobile station are absent over a predetermined period of time. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26)

31. A mobile station for communication via a radio network with a fixed network for wireless underground data transmission between a multiplicity of mobile stations and a fixed network, the mobile station comprising:
-
at least one transmission and reception device which is designed to be able to communicate with at least base stations in the radio network, wherein the mobile station has a personalization device configured as a radio frequency receiver, which can be switched by a radio frequency tag, for identifying an electronically-transmittable user-specific code. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34)
