Vehicle security system receiving acknowledgment of transmitted vehicle security message and related methods
First Claim
1. A vehicle security system for cooperating with a communications network comprising a plurality of communication nodes, a given communication node transmitting an acknowledgment message to an adjacent wireless transceiver upon receipt of a message therefrom, the vehicle security system comprising:
- a wireless transceiver at the vehicle; and
a security controller at the vehicle for transmitting a message related to vehicle security via said wireless transceiver, retransmitting the message related to vehicle security if said wireless transceiver does not receive an acknowledgment message from an adjacent communication node, and not retransmitting the message related to vehicle security if said wireless transceiver does receive an acknowledgment message from the adjacent communication node.

Abstract
A vehicle security system for cooperating with a communications network includes a plurality of communication nodes in which a given communication node may transmit an acknowledgment message to an adjacent wireless transceiver upon receipt of a message therefrom. The vehicle security system may include a wireless transceiver and a security controller at the vehicle. The security controller may transmit a message related to vehicle security via the wireless transceiver. The security controller may retransmit the message related to vehicle security if the wireless transceiver does not receive an acknowledgment message from an adjacent communication node. The security controller may not retransmit the message related to vehicle security if the wireless transceiver does receive an acknowledgment message from the adjacent communication node.
