ABSTRACT:
A radio-based system for a train including a lead transceiver unit and multiple remote transceiver units. The lead transceiver unit initiates a command by sending a command message. Each of the remote transceivers receiving the command message transmits a reply message which repeats the command message and contains the status of the sending remote. Remote transceivers not receiving the lead transceiver's transmitted command message, but receiving a reply message from one of the other remote transceivers, transmit a reply message containing the remote's status. The lead transceiver detects whether reply messages are received from the remote transceivers and may transmit a request in response. One or more remote transceivers may store and re-transmit reply messages from other transceivers in response to the request.
