    摘要: A hybrid navigation satellite receiver and mobile telephone uses only two crystal oscillators. One that operates a master clock around 27-MHz and that consumes milliwatts of power. The other oscillator consumes only microwatts of power and operates continuously on battery power at about 32-KHz. Only the second, low frequency oscillator is kept running during power "off". On power "restart", a real-time-clock counter is consulted to cause an estimate of the GPS system time to be regenerated and supplied to the GPS-DSP to quicken its initialization. The master clock is GPS-calibrated, and the accurate clock is used to drive NCO's for the mobile telephone part and host CPU.

    摘要: A navigation satellite receiver method determines what navData is on-hand, what level of time uncertainty exists, and what position uncertainty there is for the receiver at turn-on. Indoor and outdoor search engines are used that can vary their search windows and dwell times to increase receiver sensitivity. Received signals are stored in several playback loops that can be operated in parallel to increase search sensitivity in the face of large uncertainties in time ad frequency, and still reduce the time-to-first-fix. Satellite acquisition can be achieved even when the navData is too weak to be read by requesting help from a server.

    摘要: A navigation-satellite receiver support data network comprises a server connected to the Internet to provide initialization information to clients for faster cold starts. The server includes a GPS receiver that provides for tracking of a constellation of navigation satellites. When a client is started cold, time and frequency are initially unknown to it. Test messages are sent back and forth over the Internet and a path delay time is computed from the average of the quickest transit times. This yields the offset time between the server's time system and the client's time system. The server sends current time information to the client, and the computed path delay is added. The client can then compute correct time from the server and path delay information, and thereby select much sooner which satellites are correct to search.

    摘要: A thin-client navigation-satellite receiver network collects GPS pseudorange measurements and communicates them from many independent clients on a computer network to a server. The server computes the respective navigation solutions and sends the results back to each client. A client manager at the server includes a client-request handler that interfaces with the network and collects the discrete requests from each of the clients. An assembler builds complete data sets from one to five seconds worth of data gathered by the client-request handler and spins each ready-to-go job to a bank of navigation servers. A session manager coordinates the inputs-and-results communication on the network and sends its outputs to a client responder.

    摘要: A satellite-navigation system comprises an observer platform for collecting signal observations from orbiting navigation satellites. A server platform provides a simplified navigation-satellite constellation almanac, ephemeris, differential correction, and client services. A navigation platform passes information between the observer and server platforms and provides for autonomous position solution computations for a limited time after a periodic call for an aiding data from the server platform. A measurement platform included in the server platform makes static observations of a navigation-satellite constellation and that builds a database of measurement errors and satellite data messages. An aiding data with light-weight models is provided by the server platform to the observer platform to eliminate all data storage of almanac and ephemeris, and to permit only fixed-point integer arithmetic to be used to solve for user position at the navigation platform.
