A wireless vehicle service system using addressable devices to avoid
interference from similar devices within communications distance. The
system includes a host and a plurality of devices that communicate with
the host wirelessly. Each of the devices has a unique address, and stores
information describing the device, such as the type of the device, a
system to which the device is associated, a location of the device, etc.
During an enumeration process, each device sends signals including its
address and the information describing that device to a host of the
vehicle service system. The host stores relationships between the
addresses and associated information. For signals sent by the devices and
received by the host, the host decodes an embedded address from the
signals, and obtains information related to the device sending the
signals based on the decoded address and the stored information
associated to the decoded address. The host then processes the received
signals by referring to the information describing the device sending the
signals.
