Disclosed is a method for communicating measurement messages between a plurality of electronic measurement modules and an electronic control unit of a motor vehicle. The method includes the steps of measurement (E1), by a primary emitter module, of parameter values associated with the wheel in which the module is mounted, of sending (E2), by the primary emitter module, of measurement messages to a relay module, of reception (E3) by the relay module, of the measurement messages sent, of measurement (E5), by the relay module, of parameter values associated with the wheel in which the relay module is mounted and of sending (E6), by the relay module, of the measurement messages received and of its own measurements to the electronic control unit.
Method for communicating measurement messages between a plurality of electronic measurement modules (100B) and an electronic control unit (5B) of a motor vehicle (1B), each of the electronic measurement modules (100B) being mounted in a wheel (10B) of said vehicle (1B), said method comprising the steps of:
Communication system for a motor vehicle (1B) comprising an electronic control unit (5B) and a plurality of electronic measurement modules (100B) each mounted in a wheel of said vehicle (1B), said plurality of electronic measurement modules (100B) comprising at least one first electronic measurement module called primary emitter 0module (100B-EP) and at least one second electronic measurement module called relay module (100B-R), said primary emitter module (100B-EP) being configured to measure parameter values associated with the wheel (10B) in which said primary emitter module (100B-EP) is mounted and to emit, to said relay module (100B-R), over a first radio communication link (L1) at a power below a first threshold, signals comprising measurement messages, the relay module (100B-R) being configured to receive signals emitted by the primary emitter module (100B-EP), to measure parameter values associated with the wheel (10B) in which said relay module (100B-R) is mounted and to emit signals comprising the measurement messages received and its own measurements to the electronic control unit (5B) over a second radio communication link (L2) at a power above a second threshold, higher than or equal to the first threshold.
