Abstract: Embodiments included herein are directed towards systems and methods for tire pressure monitoring. Embodiments may include transmitting a first Bluetooth Low Energy (“BLE”) event at a Phase Auto-Location (“PAL”) block associated with a vehicle electronic control unit (“ECU”). Embodiments may further include generating a random number to be used for an inter-event delay associated with a BLE system, wherein the inter-event delay includes a fixed time and a randomized delay. Embodiments may also include calculating a time for the randomized delay and adding the time to an encoded Look Back Time (“LBT”) from the first BLE event to generate frame contents. Embodiments may further include providing the frame contents and the random number to a stack for transmission.

Abstract: Methods, system, apparatuses, and computer program products for securely pairing a vehicle-mounted wireless sensor with a central device are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, securely pairing a vehicle-mounted wireless sensor with a central device in accordance with the present disclosure includes a vehicle sensor device pairing with a vehicle control system (VCS) using a pre-shared passkey. The pre-shared passkey is shared between the vehicle sensor device and the VCS via an out-of-band exchange. This embodiment also includes the vehicle sensor device transmitting an identifier for a resolvable private address (RPA) to the VCS. In addition, the vehicle sensor device communicates with the VCS using the RPA. In this example embodiment, the RPA is periodically regenerated by the vehicle sensor device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for vehicle sensor learning using a low power wake-up receiver is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a tire monitoring that comprises a low power receiver and a transceiver receives, at the low power receiver, a radio frequency (RF) activation signal from a remote device, transitions to a wake state in response to receiving the activation signal, and transmits, via the transceiver, an RF response signal including an identification code to the remote device. The remote device, such as a handheld activation tool or an activation station in an assembly line, transmits the activation signal, receives the response signal, and associates the identification code of tire monitoring sensor with a location on the vehicle. The identification code and location may be provided to the vehicle control system.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for persistent alarm transmissions associated with a vehicle mounted wireless sensor device are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, persistent alarm transmission includes a vehicle mounted wireless sensor device monitoring one or more operational parameters of a vehicle and detecting that the one or more operational parameters violates a configurable threshold that is configured by another device. In response to detecting that the one or more operational parameters violates the configurable threshold, the vehicle mounted wireless sensor device persistently transmits an alarm message.
