Abstract
In a radio system having stations which are at least partially provided with a directional antenna, a first emitting station is provided with a directional antenna in a first spatial radio area. The first emitting station sends a direction information message indicating the spatial direction in which the data is to be transmitted. Transmission resources can be advantageously occupied based on the direction information message.

1-14. (canceled)
A method for operating a radio system with stations, including a first emitting station equipped with a first directional antenna, comprising
- providing for transmission of data from the first emitting station to a first receiving station using the first directional antenna in a first spatial radio area;
- and
- broadcasting first direction information revealing a first spatial direction in which the first emitting station provides for the transmission of data.
34-35. (canceled)
An emitting station for a radio system also having at least one receiving station, comprising:
- at least one directional antenna for transmission of data;
- at least one omnidirectional antenna for broadcasts;
- means for transmission of data to one of the at least one receiving station in a spatial radio area using the at least one directional antenna;
- and
- means for broadcasting direction information revealing a spatial direction in which the emitting station provides for the transmission of data.
