Token-controlled generation of wireless workgroups

The invention relates to a method for operating a network between a plurality of communication devices (1, 2, 5 to 8) and in particular a method for operating an ad-hoc network between Bluetooth devices. A plurality of communication devices (1, 2, 5 to 8), a token (3, 9 to 12, 15) is assigned in which the device address of the corresponding device is stored. At least one communication unit serves as a token reader (4, 13 and 14) to read out in the token (3, 9 to 12, 15) stored device address of a first communication device (1). Based on the device address, the token reader builds (4, 13 and 14) with the first communication device (1) a compound and / or the device address is determined by the token reader (4, 13, and 14) to at least a second communication device (2) transmitted. The second communication device (2) can then establish a connection to the first communication device (1).
