    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of operating a network of a plurality of communication apparatuses (1, 2, 5 to 8) and particularly to a method of operating an ad hoc network between Bluetooth apparatuses. A token (3, 9 to 12, 15), in which the apparatus address of the associated apparatus is stored, is assigned to a plurality of communication apparatuses (1, 2, 5 to 8).
