1. A method for communicating measurement messages between a plurality of electronic measurement systems and an electronic controller of a motor vehicle, each of the electronic measurement systems being mounted in a wheel of said vehicle, said method comprising:

  • measuring, by at least one first electronic measurement system of the electronic measurement systems that is a primary emitter system, parameter values associated with the wheel in which said primary emitter system is mounted;

    sending, by said primary emitter system, over a first radio communication link at a power below a first threshold, measurement messages to at least one second electronic measurement system, of the electronic measurement systems, that is mounted in the wheel of the vehicle, the second electronic measurement system being a relay system;

    receiving, by said relay system the measurement messages sent over the first radio communication link;

    measuring, by the relay system, parameter values associated with the wheel in which said relay system is mounted to obtain its own measurements; and

    sending, by the relay system, the measurement messages received and the measurements obtained by the relay system to the electronic controller over a second radio communication link at a power above a second threshold, higher than or equal to the first threshold.
