A method for a locationally selective reception of a signal by radio, both a transmitter and a receiver being synchronized to the same time reference, and the transmitter transmitting the signal at a time that is one of the specified times of the time reference, the method comprising the following steps:
- determining, by the receiver, a transmit location within a transmit zone from which the receiver is to selectively receive the signal, a position in the transmit zone being a function of a position of the receiver and a signal runtime, wherein the transmit zone is annular;
- and
- during a receive time period, receiving and demodulating, by the receiver, the signal transmitted by the transmitter,
- wherein a width of the transmit zone is a function of a signal structure of the signal.
