Controller for wireless communication with a peripheral unit
First Claim
1. A controller for a motor vehicle for wireless communication with a peripheral unit, the controller comprising:
- a first transceiver unit for establishing radio signals communications with the peripheral unit for a standard, non-long-range application, the first transceiver unit comprising;
a first receiver unit for receiving radio signals for the standard, non-long-range application emitted by the peripheral unit, anda first transmitter unit for transmitting radio signals for the standard non-long-range application to the peripheral unit,a second transceiver unit for establishing radio signals communications with the peripheral unit for a long-range application, the second transceiver unit comprising;
a second receiver unit for receiving radio signals for the long-range application emitted by the peripheral unit at a different frequency than the standard, non-long-range application;
a second transmitter unit for transmitting radio signals for the long-range application to the peripheral unit,wherein the radio signals communications with the peripheral unit for the standard, non-long-range application are independent from the radio signals communications with the peripheral unit for the long-range application;
at least one antenna for one or both of the first and second receiver units respectively; and
a control unit for controlling the first and second receiver units and also for evaluating signals from the first and second receiver units.

Abstract
Controller for a motor vehicle for wireless communication with a least one peripheral unit with a least one receiver unit (1) for receiving radio signals for standard applications and at least one receiver unit (2) for receiving radio signals for long-range applications which are emitted by the peripheral unit at different frequencies for the standard applications and the long-range applications. With a least one antenna (ANT1) for one of the two receiver units (1, 2) respectively and with a control unit (4) for controlling the two receiver units (1, 2) as well as for evaluating signals from the two receiver units (1, 2).

18. A method for a motor vehicle for wireless communication with a peripheral unit comprising the steps of:
-
using a first transceiver including a first receiver unit and a first transmitter unit, receiving radio signals from the peripheral unit for a standard, non-long-range application by the first receiver unit and transmitting radio signals to the peripheral unit for the standard, non-long-range application by the first transmitter unit, using a second transceiver including a second receiver unit and a second transmitter unit, receiving radio signals for a long-range application by the second receiver unit and transmitting radio signals to the peripheral unit for the long-range application by the second transmitter unit, wherein the radio signals for both the standard, non-long-range application and the long-range application are emitted by the peripheral unit at different frequencies, and wherein the radio signals received from and transmitted to the peripheral unit are independent from the radio signals received from and transmitted to the peripheral unit for the long range application;
wherein the radio signals for both the standard, non-long-range application and the long-range application are received by at least one antenna for one or both of the first and second receiver units respectively; andcontrolling the first and second receiver units and evaluating signals from the first and second receiver units. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 24, 25, 26)
