The invention relates to an identification method for use in a multiple accesscommunication network wherein a terminal (Ti) with a predefined identifier(IDi) desires access to the network. The identification method includesdistribution of a grant message (G(IDx-IDy)), which defines an identifierrange (IDx-IDy), from a controller (C) to a plurality of terminals (T1, ...,Ti, ...T16) which includes the terminal (Ti). The method further includescomparing the result (Inv(IDi)) of a reordering in a predefined way by theterminal (Ti) of a plurality of elements (IDi-A, IDi-B, IDi-C, IDi-D) includedin the identifier (IDi) with the identifier range (IDx-IDy) in order to decidewhether the terminal (Ti) receives access or not, e.g. the reversing of bitsof a binary number comparing with the identifier range.
