A method and a device locate wheels of a vehicle, according to which method at least one wheel has wheel electronics. In accordance with the method, a signal is received on the vehicle side by the wheel electronics, which signal allows conclusions to be drawn about a point in time at which the wheel assumed a first rotation angle position. The signal contains a plurality of packets. At least one time interval between the packets is determined, and at least one estimated value for the at least one time interval is provided on the basis of the at least one determined time interval.

Method and device for locating wheels of a vehicle as well as a tire pressure monitoring system

The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for locating the installation position of at least two wheels (-) on a vehicle (). A first radio signal of a first first sensor () which is mounted on a wheel and a second radio signal of a second first sensor () which is mounted on another wheel of the at least two wheels are received. Furthermore, a first measurement value of a first second sensor, which measures an angular position of a first wheel, is received, and a second measurement value of a second second sensor (), which measures an angular position of a second wheel of the at least two wheels, is received. If a first phase position of the first radio signal remains within a specified tolerance range in relation to the first measurement value and a second phase position of the first radio signal remains within a specified tolerance range in relation to the second measurement value, a unique allocation by means of an angular comparison is not possible such that the installation position of the sensors or the paired wheels is located by means of a field strength measurement (FS, FS) of the first radio signal (S) and the second (S) radio signal.
