摘要:
A correlation system for Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) positioning systems is disclosed, whereby a position receiver acquires, tracks, and demodulates a plurality of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) modulated positioning signals are pulsed in a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) scheme. A specialized correlation processor within the position receiver is configured to internally generate pseudo-random number (PRN) code signal replicas of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) positioning signals in synchronicity with their respectively received Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) positioning signals. This correlation system provides the position receiver with range measurements free from the deleterious effects of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) cross-correlation artifacts and degraded signal-to-noise ratios, therefore allowing the computation of high accuracy position solutions.

A system and method for providing assistance to a position receiver in a location network consisting of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and a synchronized network of positioning-unit devices is disclosed. A positioning-unit device observes the time and frequency of received Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals relative to the synchronized network of positioning-unit devices. These time and frequency observations are modulated, as assistance data, onto the positioning signals that are broadcast by the positioning-unit devices. A position receiver demodulates the assistance data and analyzes the positioning signals. The position receiver then searches for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals in a range responsive to the assistance data and the analysis of the received positioning signals.

摘要:
The present invention discloses a system and method for mitigating multipath in DSSS CDMA radio navigation signals by a) transmitting a rapid pulsing pattern from a transmitting device to a position receiver that samples the transmitted signal, b) separating the received samples and storing sample-based correlation accumulation values into independent bins that are synchronous with the received pulsing pattern, c) applying a logical decision process to determine the accumulation bin associated with the leading edges of the received pulses, and d) generating a range estimate from the correlation accumulation bin associated with the leading edges of the received pulses.
