摘要:
A process for increasing the availability of a global navigation system that includes a plurality of spacecraft, each of which transmits information for determining the position of a terminal. From the plurality of spacecraft, a first subset, with at least one spacecraft, and a second subset are determined. the second subset being constituted by those spacecraft that are not included in the first subset. The integrity risk is determined for the information transmitted only by the second spacecraft. The first and the second subsets of spacecraft are determined such that the integrity risk, for information transmitted by the second subset spacecraft minimized relative to the integrity risk for information of all spacecraft included in the plurality of spacecraft.

In a method for relative time and position determinations for moving objects of a constellation, signals by the objects are isochronously transmitted, with each object transmitting a unique signal for that object. The received signals of each object of the constellation are transmitted to all other objects of the constellation after a predetermined waiting time.

A radio signal-based positioning device includes a receiver that receives a plurality of radio-transmitted positioning signals, a frequency determiner that determines a frequency of each of the plurality of positioning signals, a send time determiner that determines a send time of each of the plurality of positioning signals, and an evaluation unit that determines a position location from the determined frequencies and send times of the plurality of positioning signals.

In a system for characterizing a satellite clock in a satellite, the satellite has a transmitting device configured to emit a transmission signal at a transmission frequency as a function of a state of the satellite clock. The system includes a receiver clock which has a higher precision than the satellite clock. In addition, a receiving device is configured to receive the transmission signal and to determine a received signal therefrom, as well as a received signal frequency and/or phase, using the receiver clock. Finally, an evaluation device is provided which is configured to determine a frequency offset, drift, and/or an Allan deviation of the transmission frequency from the received signal frequency and/or the received signal phase. The evaluation device determines the stability of the operation of the satellite clock or the validity of the time indication of the satellite clock from the determined frequency offset, frequency drift, and/or the Allan deviation, to thereby characterize the satellite clock.
摘要:
A process, a satellite navigation system and a user terminal for furnishing and transmitting navigation data in a navigation system by transmitting several navigation data blocks from a navigation data transmission unit to navigation terminals. Before transmitting the navigation data to the navigation device, an interleaving of at least two navigation data blocks takes place.

A satellite-based SAR system having a space segment with a plurality of satellites and a ground segment with one or a plurality of ground stations is provided. A satellite receives a position report from an emergency transmitter in its service area and forwards it to a ground station. The ground segment stores the position of the emergency transmitter, received with the last position report, in a management system for emergency transmitters. The emergency transmitter sends position reports to the satellite such that the reception of position reports at the satellite is coordinated such that at any time only position reports arrive which differ with regard to their signal parameters such that simultaneous reception is possible. A rescue operation is initiated for the emergency transmitter if no deactivation message has been received from the emergency transmitter and no position report is received from the emergency transmitter within a specified period.

A system and method of calculating corrections to a navigation solution based on accurate data are provided. GNSS ephemeris, clock models and other navigation information are received from at least three GNSS satellites and pseudo-ranging to the GNSS satellites is performed. A PVT solution is resolved from the GNSS ephemeris, clock models, and other navigation information and the pseudo range measurements. The PVT solution includes a statistical measure. Differential GNSS data for calculating the corrections to the PVT solution is received and a corrected PVT solution is calculated based upon the differential GNSS data. The corrected PVT solution is compared to a region defined by the statistical measure and the corrected PVT solution is rejected when the corrected PVT solution is not within the region.

摘要:
A method for transmitting additional information in a satellite navigation system includes providing a navigation message including a continuous data stream having a prescribed bit rate and structuring the navigation message in a plurality of pages generated according to a prescribed page definition so as to transmit information, wherein each of the plurality of pages includes a checksum calculated as a function of information contained in the page. The method further includes generating at least one new page containing the additional information so as to form a changed, navigation message according to a further page definition that differs from the prescribed page definition such that the checksum calculated as a function of information contained on the page generated according to the prescribed page definition is false; and transmitting the at least one new page.
摘要:
A process for improving continuity in a two-frequency navigation satellite system includes steps of i) observing the ionosphere by measurements in the two or more frequency bands; and ii) transmitting an alert message which informs user systems of a change of the ionosphere when at least one measurement indicates a change of the ionosphere that deviates from one or more predefined conditions.
