Abstract
The invention relates to a communications method that comprises the step of sending a query message from a central entity to at least one node. For every queried node, the central entity determines a node-specific time window based on a node-specific response time. The central entity filters out a response message, sent from the queried node, from the signals received during this time window. Based on the node-specific time window, the central entity assigns the response message to the queried node. The invention also relates to a computing unit that is configured to operate as a central entity, to a communications system, as well as to a computer program and a computer-readable storage program with said computer program.
