First Claim
1. A wireless communications method comprising:
- defining a table including locations holding data representing at least three selectable antennas and pointers pointing to locations of the table, the pointers defining an order in which antennas will be used to attempt communication; and
causing a first transponder to use an antenna defined by data in one location of the table for communication with a second transponder, and, if successful communication with the second transponder is not established, causing the first transponder to use an antenna defined by data in another location of the table in accordance with the order defined by the pointers.

Abstract
A wireless communications system comprising a first transponder adapted to be coupled to one of a plurality of selectable antennas, having a look-up table including locations holding data representing antennas, and having pointers pointing to selected ones of the locations, the pointers defining an order in which antennas will be used to attempt communication; and a second transponder configured to communicate with the first transponder, wherein the first transponder uses an antenna defined by data in one location of the table for communication with the second transponder, and, if successful communication with the second transponder is not established, the first transponder uses an antenna defined by data in another location of the table selected in accordance with the order defined by the pointers.
