摘要:
A method and apparatus for generating and distributing satellite tracking data to a remote receiver is disclosed. The method for includes extracting from memory at least a portion of long-term-satellite-tracking data, generating formatted data from the at least a portion of long-term-satellite-tracking data, the formatting data being in a format supported by the remote receiver, applying security to the formatted data to prevent unauthorized access to and/or tampering with the at least a portion of long-term-satellite-tracking data; and transmitting the formatted data to the remote receiver.

摘要:
Method and apparatus for validating an initial position in a satellite positioning system using range-rate measurements is described. In one example, range-rate measurements are obtained at the remote receiver with respect to a plurality of satellites. Expected range-rates are computed with respect to the plurality of satellites using the initial position. Single differences are computed using the range-rate measurements. Expected single differences are computed using the expected range-rates. Single difference residuals are computed between the single differences and the expected single differences. The single difference residuals are compared to a threshold. The initial position may be deemed valid if the absolute value of each of the single difference residuals is less than or equal to the threshold. A valid initial position may be used to fix the pseudorange integers.

A method and apparatus for locating position of a GPS device is described. In one example, a method for provisioning a mobile device with a model for determining a position of the mobile device in at least one geographic area is provided. The method includes obtaining an estimate of the position of the mobile device, forming one or more satellite orbit models from the estimate and a wide area model, and sending the at least one satellite orbit model to the mobile device. The wide area model is formed from measurements from a plurality of satellites of a Global Positioning System, and the measurements are obtained by a plurality of reference stations.

A method and apparatus for monitoring a configuration of satellites to maintain integrity of LTO information in a GNSS receiver of a GNSS or other positioning system is described. The method may include obtaining broadcast ephemeris transmitted from at least one satellite of a constellation of satellites; comparing the broadcast ephemeris to long-term-orbit information available to a global-navigation-satellite receiver; and causing the global-navigation-satellite receiver to not use the long-term-orbit information when the long-term-orbit information does not correspond to the broadcast ephemeris.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for processing position information in a mobile device is described. In one example, a request for a position to be computed within a predefined period of time is received. A plurality of positions is calculated within the predefined period of time. At least one of the plurality of positions is cached in a position cache. Accuracy data is derived with respect to at least one of the plurality of positions. A best position stored in the position cache is identified in response to the accuracy data. The best position may be sent to a server in communication with the mobile device.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for receiving an estimate of time in a satellite signal receiver receives an estimate of time from a server and compensates for error of a clock in the satellite signal receiver using the estimate of time. The output of the compensated clock is used when computing a position of the satellite signal receiver. The estimate of time is received using a network time protocol (NTP), a simple network time protocol (SNTP), or by one-way broadcast from the server.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for mitigating multipath effects in a satellite signal receiver is described. In one example, measured pseudoranges are obtained from the satellite signal receiver to a plurality of satellites. For each measured pseudorange: an expected pseudorange is derived from a sequential estimation filter in the satellite signal receiver. The measured pseudorange and the expected pseudorange are differenced to compute a pseudorange residual. The measured pseudorange is applied to the sequential estimation filter only if the pseudorange residual is within a window.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for processing satellite signals from a first satellite navigation system and a second satellite navigation system is described. In one example, at least one first pseudorange between a satellite signal receiver and at least one satellite of the first satellite navigation system is measured. At least one second pseudorange between the satellite signal receiver and at least one satellite of the second satellite navigation system is measured. A difference between a first time reference frame of the first satellite navigation system and a second time reference frame of the second satellite navigation system is obtained. The at least one first pseudorange and the at least one second pseudorange are combined using the difference in time references.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for locating position of a satellite signal receiver is described in one example, groups of pseudoranges from the satellite signal receiver to a plurality of satellites are determined at a respective plurality of times. The group of pseudoranges are transmitted to a server, where a position of the satellite signal receiver may be determined using the groups of pseudoranges. In another example, a plurality of groups of pseudoranges are applied to a time-based filter located in the server. The position of the satellite signal receiver arrived from the time-based filter.
