    摘要: Systems and methods for detecting global positioning system (GPS) measurement errors are provided. In this regard, a representative system, among others, includes a navigation device that is configured to receive GPS signals from signal sources, the navigation device being configured to calculate pseudoranges (PRs) and delta ranges (DRs) based on the received GPS signals, the navigation device including a consistency check algorithm that is configured to: determine mismatches between the respective calculated PRs and DRs, and indicate that an error exists in the respective calculated PRs and DRs based on their mismatch and mismatch accumulations. This algorithm can be independent of navigation state and is capable of detecting slow-changing errors.

    摘要: The present invention provides methods of improving GNSS receivers' satellite signal acquisition and TIFF performances by taking advantage of SBAS signals. Due to a SBAS satellite's geostationary position and typically strong signal, the SBAS satellite signal can be acquired more quickly than a GPS satellite signal. Once a SBAS satellite signal is acquired the Doppler frequency search uncertainty may be reduced for remaining GNSS satellites which are to be acquired. Furthermore, a satellite search list may be optimized to search for satellites close to the line of sight (LOS) of the SBAS satellite for which a signal has been acquired, in receiver “warm” and “hot” start modes. Moreover, since a SBAS signal sub-frame is only one second long, which is shorter than six seconds for a GPS signal sub-frame, synchronization of the SBAS signal sub-frame may be achieved faster than for GPS signals. With aided time information, a receiver may compute the absolute time of week (TOW) from a sub-frame synchronized SBAS signal. Therefore, without necessarily waiting for TOW to be decoded from a GPS signal and with TOW extracted from a SBAS signal, a receiver can achieve better TTFF performance.

    摘要: There are situations where GPS signals are received from less than four satellites. In order to improve the GPS location availability, disclosed here are systems and methods for synthesizing GPS measurements, which, together with fewer than four available real GPS signals, can be used to calculate a position fix. In particular, GPS range measurements for lost satellites, which are satellites that were previously tracked but are now not tracked, are synthesized to improve GPS signal availability. The synthesized measurements are used along with real measurements to enable accurate position fix even when GPS satellite availability is poor. Different synthesized measurement generation schemes, depending on whether an INS/DR aiding system is available, are further described herein.
