Method for data communication between a base station and a transponder
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- inserting a control field into an information packet comprising one or more data fields and a protection field, the protection field for determining whether a signal is accurately communicated to a transponder, the control field separating the information packet into a first portion preceding the control field and a second portion following the control field;
transmitting, to the transponder, the first portion of the information packet preceding the control field of the information packet;
receiving a response signal from the transponder;
based on the response signal from the transponder, determining whether the transponder correctly recognized information in the first portion of the information packet;
transmitting, to the transponder, the second portion of the information packet following the control field when it is determined that the transponder correctly recognized information in the first portion of the information packet; and
retransmitting, to the transponder, the first portion of the information packet preceding the control field when it is determined that the transponder did not correctly recognize information in the first portion of the information packet.

Abstract
A method for data communication between a base station and at least one transponder by a high-frequency electromagnetic carrier signal is disclosed, onto which information packets are modulated, whereby each information packet has a header section, a middle section, and an end section and whereby the middle section has a data field for the transmission of data and/or address information and a protection field placed thereafter for the correction of errors in the transmission of the data and/or address information, whereby after the data field the base station inserts at least one control field, by which the protection field following the inserted control field can be changed in such a way that the duration of an information packet is set variably. The invention relates further to a base station for carrying out this method, to a data communication system containing a base station and at least one transponder in communicative wireless contact with the base station.

15. A system comprising:
-
a control device operable to determine a value of a control field; and a transmitting device operable to; insert the control field into an information packet comprising one or more data fields and a protection field, the protection field for determining whether a signal is accurately communicated to a transponder, the control field separating the information packet into a first portion preceding the control field and a second portion following the control field; transmit, to the transponder, the first portion of the information packet preceding the control field of the information packet, the information packet comprising a protection field and a data field; receive a response signal from the transponder; based on the response signal from the transponder, determining whether the transponder correctly recognized information in the first portion of the information packet; transmit, to the transponder, the second portion of the information packet following the control field when it is determined that the transponder correctly recognized information in the first portion of the information packet, the second portion of the information packet following the control field comprising at least a portion of the protection field; and retransmit, to the transponder, the first portion of the information packet preceding the control field when it is determined that the transponder did not correctly recognize information in the first portion of the information packet. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
