19. A method for updating a position of a wheel at a vehicle having a tire parameter monitoring system, the tire parameter monitoring system comprising a central unit and at least two sensor units attached to different wheels of the vehicle, wherein each of the at least two sensor units has a dedicated RF repeater, the method comprising:
-
transmitting an RF repeater signal with each of the RF repeaters to the central unit, wherein the RF repeater signal comprises an identification of the RF repeater and an identification of the sensor unit the RF repeater is dedicated to; and receiving with the central unit the RF repeater signal of each of the RF repeaters and matching the identification of the sensor unit and the identification of the RF repeater with a known identification of the RF repeater.

20. A method for monitoring parameters of tires of a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
transmitting a first sensor signal/data with a first sensor unit attached to a first wheel of the vehicle and transmitting a second sensor signal/data with a second sensor unit attached to a second wheel of the vehicle; and retransmitting the first sensor signal/data with a first RF repeater which is dedicated to the first sensor unit and retransmitting the second sensor signal/data with a second RF repeater which is dedicated to the second sensor unit.

21. A computer program comprising instructions stored on a non-transitory storage medium, when such instructions are executed by a processor perform a method for updating a position of a wheel at a vehicle having a tire parameter monitoring system, the tire parameter monitoring system comprising a central unit and at least two sensor units attached to different wheels of the vehicle, wherein each of the at least two sensor units has a dedicated RF repeater, the method comprising:
-
transmitting an RF repeater signal with each of the RF repeaters to the central unit, wherein the RF repeater signal comprises an identification of the RF repeater and an identification of the sensor unit the RF repeater is dedicated to; and receiving with the central unit the RF repeater signal of each of the RF repeaters and matching the identification of the sensor unit and the identification of the RF repeater with a known identification of the RF repeater.
