1. A pressure module configured to provide information related to a pressure of a tire in a vehicle, comprising:

  • a pressure determiner configured to determine the information related to the pressure of the tire;

    a transceiver configured to;

    wirelessly receive information related to an instruction to provide the information related to the pressure of the tire;

    wirelessly transmit the information related to the tire pressure; and

    wirelessly transmit and receive in the same frequency band;

    a controller configured to;

    control the pressure determiner and the transceiver, andoperate the transceiver in an operating mode and in a sleeping mode, wherein an energy consumption of the transceiver is lower in the sleeping mode than in the operating mode, wherein the controller is configured to transfer the transceiver between sleeping mode and operating mode alternately based on a wake up cycle, the wake up cycle having a schedule during which the pressure module is configured to receive the information related to the instruction,wherein the controller is configured to base the schedule of the wake up cycle on a known or predicted state of movement of the vehicle, wherein the state of movement is favorable with respect to a localization measurement during a cornering or circular driving of the vehicle.
