Abstract
The invention relates to a method for implementing an RFID network, comprising the following steps: each read-write station transmits at least one test signal; each read-write station (, N-N) receives the (receivable) test signals of neighboring read-write stations (, N-N), said signals comprising a station address, a frequency channel number and a measured signal intensity of each receivable neighboring read-write station (, N-N); a network structure () comprising structure data and a co-ordination plan comprising co-ordination data are calculated using a number of time slots () and a number of frequency channels (), a service frequency channel (reader service channel, RSK) and/or a service time slot (reader service time, RST) being defined and used by the read-write stations (, N-N) for service purposes; and at least corresponding structure data and co-ordination data for an organized, synchronous network operation is transmitted to the read-write stations (, N-N) so that said stations (, N-N) do not interfere with one another.
