A method of reading data (DAT1 . . . DAT4) from transponders (T1 . . . T4) by means of a reader device (RD) during a number (N) of time slots (TS) is disclosed, wherein the seizure of said time slots (TS) by the transponders (T1 . . .

A method of reading data (DAT1 . . . DAT4) from transponders (T1 . . . T4) by means of a reader device (RD) during a number (N) of time slots (TS) is disclosed, wherein the seizure of said time slots (TS) by the transponders (T1 . . . T4) is observed in both the reader device (RD) and the transponders (T1 . . . T4). A reorganization (REORG) is performed in dependence on said seizure, wherein both the reader device (RD) and the transponders (T1 . . . T4) choose a new number (N) of time slots (TS). In addition, the transponders (T1 . . . T4) select one of the new time slots (TS) in which to send data (DAT1 . . . DAT4) back to the reader device (RD) so as to adapt the system's capacity to the real demands. Preferably, said reorganization (REORG) takes place without communication between the reader device (RD) and the transponders (T1 . . . T4). The invention further relates to a transponder (T1 . . . T4) and to a reader device (RD) for implementing the inventive method.

1. A method of reading data from transponders by means of a reader device during a number of time slots, the method comprising: observing seizure of said time slots in both the reader device and the transponders; andperforming a reorganization in dependence on said seizure by,simultaneously selecting a new number of time slots in both the reader device and the transponders, andselecting one of the new number of time slots to send data from the transponders to the reader device. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein only those transponders perform said reorganization which did not transmit data to the reader device before said reorganization. 3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein only those transponders perform said reorganization whose data were not correctly received in the reader device before said reorganization. 4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein a transponder selects a new time slot only on the basis of a certain probability. 5. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: counting, with both the reader device and the transponders, a number of empty time slots; andperforming said reorganization with a smaller new number of time slots if the number of said empty time slots exceeds a predefined limit. 6. The method as claimed in claim 5, further comprising: increasing a count of empty time slots in a transponder upon receipt of a close slot command which is sent by the reader device within a waiting time after a preceding command. 7. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: counting, with both the reader device and the transponders, a number of data collisions between two or more transponders; andperforming said reorganization with a greater new number of time slots if the number of said data collisions exceeds a predefined limit. 8. The method as claimed in claim 7, further comprising: increasing a count of data collisions in a transponder upon receipt of a close slot command which is sent by the reader device after a waiting time following a preceding command. 9. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: forming transmission channels with the time slots; andtransmitting data in the formed transmission channels. 10. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: selecting a probability parameter in both the reader device and the transponders during the reorganization; andselecting a time slot in which to send data back to the reader device from the transponders with a certain probability that is in accordance with said probability parameter. 11. A system comprising a reader device and at least one transponder wherein the at least one transponder sends data to the reader device during a number of time slots, the at least one transponder comprising: means for observing a seizure of said time slots by other transponders; andmeans for performing a reorganization in dependence on said seizure including,means for choosing a new number of time slots is chosen; andmeans for selecting one of the new number of time slots in which to send data back to the reader device; wherein the reader device reads the data from the at least one transponder during the number of time slots, the reader device comprising:means for observing the seizure of said time slots,means for performing the reorganization in dependence on said seizure, wherein both the reader device and the at least one transponder simultaneously select the new number of time slots. 12. The system as claimed in claim 11, further comprising: a counter for counting empty time slots; andmeans for increasing said counter upon receipt of a close slot command sent by the reader device within a waiting time after a preceding command. 13. The system as claimed in claim 11, further comprising: a counter for counting data collisions between two or more transponders; andmeans for increasing said counter upon receipt of a close slot command sent by the reader device after a waiting time following a preceding command. 14. The method of claim 1, further comprising: defining a three-dimensional visualization having a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) axis, a Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) axis, and a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) axis. 15. The method of claim 1, further comprising: issuing, with the reader device, a read command comprising a number of timeslots, a number of frequency bands, and a number of codes. 16. The method of claim 1, further comprising: transmitting, with the transponders, data in different time slots, in different frequency bands, in different codes.
