Method for adjusting communication parameters between a wheel unit and an authorised device

A method for adjusting at least one of the communication parameters from among the size of the communicated message or the periodicity of communication between a wheel unit and a remote monitoring and/or control device, a communication between said monitoring device and the wheel unit being carried out according to a communication protocol allowing a two-way short-range exchange of data using ultra-high-frequency radio waves according to a two-way communication protocol, the wheel unit sending basic signaling messages indicating its presence to any ultra-high-frequency wave communication device located in an environment of the wheel unit, a communication device being capable of intercepting a basic signaling message and of sending a standard response message to the wheel unit, wherein:

• in a mode referred to as “default”, the communication between the wheel unit and the remote monitoring and/or control device is carried out according to a first predetermined size and a first predetermined periodicity,
• upon reception of a standard response message from the remote monitoring and/or control device, the wheel unit switches to a communication mode referred to as “adjusted” in which at least one of the communication parameters from among the size of the communicated message or the periodicity of communication is replaced by at least one other communication parameter characterized by a second predetermined size and a second predetermined periodicity, resulting in an adaptation of the energy consumption of the wheel unit,
• the modes referred to as “default” and “adjusted” being predefined as a function of a running or non-running mode of the vehicle.
