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).
Claims20
A controller for a motor vehicle for wireless communication with a peripheral unit comprising:
- at least one receiver unit for receiving radio signals for standard applications and at least one receiver unit 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;
- at least one antenna for one or both receiver units respectively;
- and
- a control unit for controlling the two receiver units and also for evaluating signals from the two receiver units, with each of the receiver units respectively being parts of a combined transceiver unit which is also embodied for transmitting signals to the peripheral unit.
A method for wireless communication with a peripheral unit comprising the steps of:
- receiving radio signals for standard applications by at least one receiver and receiving radio signals for long-range applications by at least one receiver unit for, wherein the radio signals are emitted by the peripheral unit at different frequencies for the standard applications and the long-range applications, and wherein the radio signals are received by at least one antenna for one or both receiver units respectively;
- controlling the two receiver units and evaluating signals from the two receiver units, wherein each of the receiver units respectively being parts of a combined transceiver unit which is also embodied for transmitting signals to the peripheral unit.
