Method and System for Monitoring Tire Pressure
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring air pressure in vehicle tires using wheel electronics, the method comprising:
- measuring air pressure present in the tire;
transmitting pressure information; and
receiving interrogation signals, a transmission activity of the wheel electronics being triggered by reception of an interrogation signal, transmitted as a pulse train comprising a command section encoding a transmission instruction for the wheel electronics,wherein the pulse train comprises an adjustment section having several pulses before the command section.
