Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- transmitting a forward link having a forward-link header comprising at least one symbol for configuring a setting of a transponder;
receiving from the transponder a return link having a return-link header comprising information based on characteristics of the transponder;
analyzing the received return-link header to determine adjusted information for configuring the setting of the transponder;
modifying a subsequent symbol of the forward-link header in accordance with the adjusted information for configuring the setting of the transponder; and
transmitting to the transponder the modified subsequent symbol of the forward-link header.

Abstract
A method and system for data communication between a base station and at least one transponder via a high-frequency electromagnetic carrier signal onto which information packets are modulated. Each information packet has a header section, a middle section, and a trailer section. The header section can be provided in a forward link of a data communication between the base station and the transponders for controlling data communication. The header section is used in a return link of a data communication in order to transmit information from the transponder to the base station.
