    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system are disclosed for providing modified orbital assistance data to a mobile station to determine its location using global navigation satellite system (GNSS). In some example embodiments, a method for determining a location of a mobile station using orbital assistance data may include: receiving satellite positioning signals from a plurality of GNSS satellites; receiving orbital assistance data comprising a distance between a location on an antenna which is associated with a first frequency of the satellite positioning signals and a location on the antenna which is associated with a second frequency of the satellite positioning signals; and determining the location of the mobile station based on the orbital assistance data and the satellite positioning signals.

    Abstract: Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers can provide more accurate positioning when augmented using Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) or Differential GNSS (DGNSS) corrections. Techniques described herein leverage multi-constellation, multi-frequency (MCMF) measurements taken at a base station at first and second times to generate correction information that can be used to detect and correct a bias (or offset) in the location of the base station. This bias may be detected by a rover station, or by the base station itself.

    Abstract: A method of determining an integer ambiguity search space includes: obtaining, at an apparatus, a code phase measurement of a satellite vehicle signal comprising a pseudorandom noise code and a carrier signal; obtaining, at the apparatus, spatial information corresponding to a wireless terrestrial signal transferred between the apparatus and a terrestrial base station; determining, at the apparatus, a satellite positioning system carrier phase integer ambiguity search space based on the code phase measurement; and constraining a size of the satellite positioning system carrier phase integer ambiguity search space based on the spatial information.

    Abstract: Described are methods, systems, and devices for correcting ionospheric error. In some aspects, a mobile device equipped with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver is configured to determine a positioning measurement of a GNSS signal. The mobile device is further configured to receive augmentation data from an augmentation system. When augmentation data for a current measurement period is unavailable, the mobile device can obtain augmentation data associated with Total Electron Content (TEC) values (e.g., vertical TEC values) during one or more prior measurement periods. Based on the augmentation data associated with TEC values during one or more prior measurement periods and a pierce point of the received GNSS signal, an ionospheric error in the positioning measurement of the GNSS signal can be determined and corrected.

    Abstract: A method of determining a location of a measurement device includes determining, at a server: measurement times of first positioning signal measurements, of first positioning signals from first positioning signal sources and/or a subset of positioning signal sources of second positioning signal sources. The method includes sending at least one measurement command from the server to the measurement device to cause the measurement device to obtain the first positioning signal measurements in accordance with the measurement times and/or obtain second positioning signal measurements of second positioning signals sent from the subset of positioning signal sources. The method includes: receiving, at the server from the measurement device, measurement data corresponding to the first positioning signal measurements and/or the second positioning signal measurements; and determining, at the server, the location of the measurement device based on the measurement data.

    Abstract: Techniques for enhanced Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) position determination can include capturing an image, from a camera, of obstructions near a mobile device. Orientation information regarding the camera can is used to determine where, in the image, the horizon is situated, and which portions of the sky are blocked by the obstructions from the perspective of the mobile device. Information regarding the location of satellites in the sky is obtained, based on an estimated position of the mobile device. Obstructed satellites can then be identified by comparing the location of the satellites with the obstructed portions of the sky. In a GNSS position determination, information received from the obstructed satellites can then be disregarded or de-weighted accordingly. In some embodiments, the information regarding the blocked portions of the sky can be sent to a server and/or shared with other nearby mobile devices.
