In a method and system for deriving a seed position of a subscriber station in a wireless communications system in supporting unassisted GPS-type position determination is provided, the subscriber station receives overhead messages from the wireless communications system, and derives the seed position from the parameter values. The subscriber station may use a data structure in its memory and map possible parameter values to corresponding positions that may serve as the seed positions.

A method of and system for searching for position determination signals using a plurality of progressively more sensitive search modes comprising a first level mode, a second mode, and at least one higher level mode. If any of the search window parameters exceed prescribed limits, a first level search is performed, and the search window parameters are refined responsive to the ensuing search results so they are within the prescribed limits. Then, the second level search is performed, and measurements derived from the ensuing search results. If the measurements satisfy selected measurement sufficiency criteria, additional searching within the position fix attempt is avoided. If the measurements do not satisfy the selected measurement sufficiency criteria, a higher level, more sensitive search is performed.

Apparatus and method for resolving repeater location ambiguities in a CDMA network using a CDMA Time Pseudolite. The CDMA Time Pseudolite includes a CDMA receiver to receive a CDMA signal with an embedded CDMA timing, a baseband processor to extract the CDMA timing and to adjust the CDMA timing to derive a signal with GNSS-like timing; and a GNSS transmitter to generate a GNSS-like signal and to transmit the GNSS-like signal to a mobile station. In one embodiment, the CDMA Time Pseudolite is situated at or nearby a CDMA signal repeater so that a mobile station may unambiguously identify a received CDMA signal as being transmitted by a particular CDMA signal repeater and then using that received CDMA signal for position determination of the mobile station.

A method of and system for detecting whether a peak of a correlation function derived from a received signal is due to a jammer. The peak is within a localized portion of the correlation function which has a total number of peaks. In one embodiment, the total number of peaks is compared to a threshold number of peaks, and the peak is identified as being due to a jammer if the total number of peaks equals or exceeds a threshold number of peaks. In a second embodiment, the peak energy in relation to a noise estimate for the localized portion of the correlation function is compared to a jammer threshold. The peak is identified as being due to a jammer if the peak energy in relation to the noise estimate is less than or equal to the jammer threshold.

A turbo code interleaver using linear congruential sequences may be employed as a two-dimensional interleaver in a turbo coder that also includes first and second constituent encoders. The interleaver and the first encoder are each configured to receive input bits. The first encoder produces output symbols therefrom. The interleaver receives the input bits sequentially by row. A linear congruential sequence recursion algorithm within the interleaver serves to pseudo-randomly rearrange, or shuffle, the bits within each row of the interleaver. The bits are then output from the interleaver sequentially by column. The second encoder is configured to receive the interleaved bits from the interleaver. The second encoder produces output symbols therefrom. The two streams of output symbols are multiplexed together, with appropriate puncturing. If desired, the linear congruential recursion sequence can be generated in reverse. Also if desired, a bit reversal technique can be used in the interleaver to rearrange, or shuffle, the rows of the interleaver.

A method of and system for detecting an interfering multi-path condition is provided. A parameter is determined from a pulse of a correlation function derived from a received signal. The parameter is examined to determine if it is inconsistent with a non-interfering multi-path hypothesis. If so, an interfering multi-path condition is detected.

摘要:
A method of and system for performing a search for signals useful in determining the position of an entity. A first search is performed as part of a position determination attempt, and measurements are derived from the ensuing search results. Additional searching within the position determination attempt is avoided if the measurements satisfy one or more selected exit criteria. However, a second search is conducted if the measurements do not satisfy the one or more selected exit criteria.
