METHOD FOR ADJUSTING A PERIODICITY OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A WHEEL UNIT AND AN AUTHORIZED DEVICE

A method for adjusting a periodicity of communication between a wheel unit and a remote monitoring and/or control device, a communication being carried out using ultra-high-frequency radio waves, the wheel unit sending with a predetermined first periodicity basic signaling messages indicating its presence to any communication device located in an environment of the wheel unit. The wheel unit, having previously stored a group of communication devices authorized to serve as monitoring devices therefor, checks whether the communication device having sent a response message belongs to the group, and, if this is the case, the wheel unit replaces the first periodicity with at least one shorter second periodicity resulting in a more intense two-way exchange for any signaling message subsequently sent from the wheel unit to the authorized device.
