First Claim
1. A method for establishing a wireless communication connection between a vehicle communication unit of a vehicle and a charging station communication unit of a charging station, the method comprising the acts of:
- emitting a low-frequency request signal via an LF transmitting unit of the vehicle, wherein the LF request signal indicates an identifier with respect to the vehicle;
receiving the LF request signal by an LF receiving unit of the charging station;
emitting items of information with respect to the identifier in a broadcast message by the charging station communication unit; and
receiving the broadcast message by the vehicle communication unit;
checking whether the broadcast message comprises the items of information with respect to the identifier; and
