A Global navigation satellite-based systems (GNSS) enabled device, handling at least two of a plurality of sensors, collects GNSS measurements and navigation related non-GNSS sensor data. The collected navigation related non-GNSS sensor data is automatically formatted into a data format that is compatible with a format of the GNSS measurements. The formatted navigation related non-GNSS sensor data and the GNSS measurements are utilized by a single function to compute navigation information for the GNSS enabled device regardless of sensor configurations such as a cellular radio and/or a motion sensor. Measurement errors in the collected navigation related non-GNSS sensor data is estimated to determine measurement accuracy. The collected navigation related non-GNSS sensor data is selectively adopted, combined with the GNSS measurements, to compute navigation information by the single function based on the determined measurement accuracy. The computed navigation information may be utilized to calibrate sensor and/or sensor data when needed.

摘要:
Significant, cost-effective improvement is introduced for Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) on a global basis, particularly enhancing the performance of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), an example of which is the Global Positioning System (GPS). The solution significantly improves performance metrics including the accuracy, integrity, time to acquire, interference rejection, and spoofing protection. A constellation of small satellites employing a low-cost architecture combined with improved signal processing yields an affordable enabler for spectrum-efficient transportation mobility. As air traffic management modernization transitions to a greater dependence on satellite positioning, the solution provides aviation users new protections from both intentional and unintentional interference to navigation and surveillance. And in response to an era in which intelligent transportation is under development for automobiles, reliable where-in-lane positioning enables new applications in connected and autonomous vehicles. New military capability increases PNT availability.

Disclosed is a method performed by a position calculation node (160) in a wireless communication network (100). The node (160) is arranged for improving accuracy when determining positions in the wireless communication network. The method comprises obtaining a signal transport time value for each of a plurality of different geographical UE positions (UE1, UE2, UE3), wherein the respective signal transport time value relates to the time it takes for a radio signal to travel between a first base station and one of the plurality of UE positions. The method further comprises obtaining a geographical position value for each of the plurality of different geo-graphical UE positions, the position values being independent of the signal transport time values, and determining an actual geographical position for the first base station, based on the obtained signal transport time values, the obtained position values and a predefined geographical position for the first base station.
