Abstract
A vehicle communication path-tracing system () has a portable transmitter () and transceiver/controllers (A–N,T), located separately from the transmitter (). A transmitter/controller (T) is located at a target vehicle (T) and at least one other transceiver/controller (e.g.,A) is located at an intermediate location. An intermediate transceiver/controller receives a command signal intended for the target vehicle and transmits a retransmitted command signal intended for the target vehicle. The target transceiver/controller receives the retransmitted command signal and transmits an acknowledgement signal, intended for reception by the at least one intermediate transceiver/controller that transmitted the retransmitted command signal received at the target vehicle. The at least one intermediate transceiver/controller receives an acknowledgement signal and transmits a retransmitted acknowledgement signal.
