摘要： A first transmitting device is used to transmit a first signal on a first carrier frequency to a relay device. The relay device receives the signal by demodulating the first carrier frequency. Subsequently, the relay device retransmits the signal by modulating a second and/or a third carrier frequency. The signal is then recovered at one or more receiving devices by demodulating the second and/or third carrier frequencies. Further, a second transmitting device transmits a second signal on a fourth carrier frequency and the relay device retransmits the signal by modulating a fifth and/or a sixth carrier frequency. The signal is then recovered at one or more receiving devices by demodulating the fifth and/or sixth carrier frequencies. The transmitting and/or receiving devices are preferably voice terminals, such as a wireless telephones or data terminals, such as portable computers. The transmitting and/or receiving devices are optionally coupled to a communications network, such as a public switched telephone network or the Internet. The relay device is preferably a multiple beam satellite and/or a ground station covering several distinct geographical regions.

摘要： Communication devices and communication network techniques are employed to meet safety-critical, operational requirements for train location and control in railroad and public transit applications. On-board and trackside communication radios participate in a synchronous, time-slotted communication network, providing contentionless and highly responsive access to all participants. Encrypted, validated, and error protected communication links provide reliable and redundant transfer of information among the train, trackside, and control station radios. Spread spectrum communication techniques enable range measurements between all participants. These wireless communication links relay train range measurements to control or processing stations and relay control information (principally speed commands) from the processing stations to the trains. High resolution position location is determined along elevated, at-grade, and in-tunnel tracks using wireless methods and sparse device placement.

摘要： A method and apparatus for efficiently obtaining improved coverage in augmenting GPS position location with differential GPS integrity and correction messages using existing satellite systems, planned satellite systems, or a combination of both to broadcast these integrity and correction messages without requiring dedicated satellite resources. At least one existing satellite system offers full global coverage whereas the conventional approach of disseminating these integrity and correction messages using geostationary satellites necessarily omits Polar Regions. This existing satellite system also provides redundant coverage globally whereas the conventional approach using geostationary satellites must increase the number of geostationary satellites in direct proportion to the level of redundancy desired. At least one other existing satellite-based system offers higher availability (i.e., more geographically complete) coverage with these integrity and correction message by also employing ground-based transmitters to gain three way redundant coverage. Using existing or planned satellite systems to broadcast differential GPS integrity and correction messages also eliminates the expense and delays associated with building and launching either dedicated geostationary satellites or dedicated satellite payloads on host satellites. Using available satellite resources also enables cost efficient customization of disseminated integrity and correction messages. The apparatus comprises a set of ground reference stations with individual assigned geographic spaces, a master station that gathers integrity and correction messages from these ground reference stations and transmits them to a satellite-based system or systems that broadcast integrity and correction messages, possibly customized, and users with equipment capable of receiving signals from the satellite system.
摘要翻译： 一种用于利用现有卫星系统，计划卫星系统或两者的组合在差分GPS完整性和校正消息中增强GPS位置定位的方法和装置，以便在不需要专用卫星资源的情况下广播这些完整性和校正消息。 至少有一个现有的卫星系统提供全面的全球覆盖，而使用地球静止卫星传播这些完整性和校正信息的传统方法必然会省略极地地区。 这种现有的卫星系统也在全球范围内提供了冗余覆盖，而使用对地静止卫星的传统方法必须与所需冗余度成正比地增加对地静止卫星的数量。 至少一个其他现有的基于卫星的系统通过还使用基于地面的发射机来获得三路冗余覆盖来提供具有这些完整性和校正消息的更高的可用性（即，更地理上完整的）覆盖。 使用现有或计划中的卫星系统广播差分GPS完整性和纠正信息，也消除了在主机卫星上建立和发射专用对地静止卫星或专用卫星有效载荷的费用和延误。 使用可用的卫星资源还可以实现成本效益的传播完整性和纠正信息的定制。 该设备包括一组具有单独分配的地理空间的地面参考站，主站，其收集来自这些地面参考站的完整性和校正消息，并将其发送到基于卫星的系统或可能定制的广播完整性和校正消息的系统， 以及能够从卫星系统接收信号的设备的用户。
