摘要： Satellite ephemeris data associated with satellite vehicles in a Global Positioning System (GPS) based position location system can be selectively transmitted to a mobile station within a wireless communication system. The mobile station can selectively request satellite ephemeris data from a Position Determination Entity (PDE) that is in communication with one or more GPS satellite vehicles (SV). The mobile station forecasts the satellite vehicles that theoretically are available. Then, the mobile station checks to see if valid ephemeris data is locally stored. If ephemeris data is desired and not locally available, the mobile station transmits a selective ephemeris request to the PDE and receives, in response to the request, the ephemeris corresponding to the SV identified in the ephemeris request. The selective ephemeris request and selective satellite update method can be implemented in accordance with presently available position location standards.
