Abstract
In a method for transmitting data, the step of transmitting the data representing a measured pressure or pressure variation is repeated with a first repetition rate if no pressure variation has been detected or repeated with a second repetition rate if a specific pressure variation has been detected. The second repetition rate is higher than the first repetition rate. The different repetition frequencies can be used in a method for determining a tire position in a tire pressure measurement system to switch between a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation. The method for determining a tire position evaluates the repetition rate between the received data packets of transmitted data and extracts a pressure variation out of the received data packets.
