Abstract:
Systems and methods are described for determining position of a receiver. The positioning system comprises a transmitter network including transmitters that broadcast positioning signals. The positioning system comprises a remote receiver that acquires and tracks the positioning signals and/or satellite signals. The satellite signals are signals of a satellite-based positioning system. A first mode of the remote receiver uses terminal-based positioning in which the remote receiver computes a position using the positioning signals and/or the satellite signals. The positioning system comprises a server coupled to the remote receiver. A second operating mode of the remote receiver comprises network-based positioning in which the server computes a position of the remote receiver from the positioning signals and/or satellite signals, where the remote receiver receives and transfers to the server the positioning signals and/or satellite signals.
Abstract:
Described are systems and methods for acquiring three-dimensional location information. Also described are systems and methods for using the acquired three-dimension location information to locate users and enhance their experience in relation to location-based services.
Abstract:
Devices, systems, and methods for gathering, calculating and sending positioning information at a user device to one or more networks may be disclosed. In a first implementation the user device transforms pseudorange information relating to terrestrial beacons into GNSS pseudorange information. In a second implementation, the user device sends position information using GNSS information elements. In a third implementation, the user device sends position information using non-GNSS information elements.
