摘要： The method of the invention, which is applicable, in particular, to making positioning signals from GPS and SBAS satellites reliable, consists in performing an instantaneous statistical analysis (of around 1 mn duration) of the correlation peak from the satellite signal receiver and in comparing it to a long-term (several hours) statistical analysis by choosing 5 points which are characteristic of the peak (prompt, null0.044 and null0.088). If the result of the comparison exceeds a given threshold, the corresponding signals are rejected.

摘要： Methods and apparatuses to obtain an ordered set of satellite positioning system (SPS) satellites, in view of a mobile SPS receiver, via one or two-way communication with the mobile SPS receiver. The mobile SPS receiver receives, in one embodiment, an ordered set of SPS satellites from a cellular transmission site.

摘要： A vehicle information system which includes an in-vehicle system 105 and a centralized server system 120. The in-vehicle system communicates with the server system using a wireless communication link 110, such as over a cellular telephone system. A position system, such as a set of GPS satellites 140, provides positioning signals that are used by the in-vehicle systems, and optionally by the centralized server system to increase the accuracy of position estimates. In one version of the system, an operator specifies a destination to an in-vehicle system which validates the destination. The in-vehicle system transmits specification of the destination to a server system 125 at the centralized server. The server system computes a route to the destination and transmits the computed route to the in-vehicle system. The in-vehicle system guides the operator along the route. If the in-vehicle system detects that the vehicle has deviated from the planned route, it replans a new route to the destination using an in-vehicle map database.

摘要： A tracking system uses a miniaturized geographic position determination and communications module, preferably in the form of a thin capsule, enabling the enclosure to be hidden in very small spaces, including personal concealment. Electronic circuitry and a thin, rechargeable battery are contained within the enclosure, the circuitry including a global positioning satellite receiver, a communications transceiver, and a controller. The controller causes the global positioning satellite receiver to receive and decode a signal relating to the geographic position of the module; cause the communications transmitter to communicate the geographic position information to a remote location; and disable the global positioning satellite receiver and communications transceiver when not in use so as to conserve power. The geographic position information may be communicated to a remote location either in response to a carrier activating a panic function or after receiving a request from a remote location which commences the transmission in response to the request. In a system-level configuration, the miniaturized module is used in conjunction with a portable locating unit operative to receive the geographic position information at the remote location and inform a user as to the location of the miniaturized module. Preferably the portable locating unit further includes a positioning satellite receiver of its own and a display, enabling the locating unit to visually indicate the location of the miniaturized module relative to that of the locating unit.

摘要： The invention relates to a method and to devices for determining in a positioning system the time of reception of a beacon signal which was received and tracked by a receiver. In order to enable a re-acquisition of the system time based on a noisy received signal, it is proposed that the method comprises as a first step reconstructing a beacon signal for an interval based on available information. Then, a cross-correlation is performed between the reconstructed signal and the received signal at different relative positions to each other. Next, the time of transmission of the received signal is determined based on information for the reconstructed signal and on the relative position resulting in the maximum correlation value. Finally, a time of reception of said received signal is determined as the sum of the determined time of transmission of the received signal and of a calculated time of flight of the received signal.
