Abstract:
A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and TPMS sensor module are provide. The TPMS sensor module includes a pressure sensor configured to measure an internal air pressure of a tire and generate tire pressure information, a microcontroller unit electrically connected to the pressure sensor, and a transceiver electrically connected to the microcontroller unit, the transceiver configured to transmit a message including the pressure information. Where, on a condition that the transceiver receives an acknowledgement in response to the transmitted message, the microcontroller unit is configured to set the transceiver into a standby mode, and, where, on a condition that the transceiver does not receive any acknowledgement in response to the transmitted message within a waiting period, the microcontroller unit is configured to instruct the transceiver to retransmit the message, and the transceiver is configured to retransmit the message after the waiting period.
