    摘要: A message format and associated method for estimating the frequency and timing offset of a reference burst of a random access channel in a time-division multiple access communications system. A signal structure in which the continuous wave segment is split into two parts separated by some portion of the content of the random access channel burst is used to provide more precise frequency estimation. Iteration of separate frequency and timing estimation procedures is used to refine both estimates, as the individual estimation processes are more accurate when there is less error in the other parameter. Multiple hypothesis testing is used, in which more than one initial frequency estimate is carried through the iteration process, with thresholding to identify the best frequency offset. Reliable rejection of false ambiguities is achieved because the degradation in timing estimation, due to large frequency offsets, can be detected with thresholding.

    摘要: A system and method for estimating calibration parameters and locating a Calibration Earth Station (CES) is described. The method may be performed offline. The method includes: providing L×M pilot signal measurements in a matrix R from L CESs and the M feed elements, wherein the matrix R comprises a set of channel coefficients c={c1, c2, . . . , cM}, and k={k1, k2, . . . , kL} perturbations; linking a subset of channel coefficients {c1, c2, . . . , cM} using each of the L CESs; and estimating a relative estimate of the k={k1, k2, . . . , kL} pertubations across the L CESs by using each of the L CESs as a bridging element. In the method, the bridging element provides a strong pilot signal for at least two of the L CESs. A set of criteria for determining locations of CESs have been described. A set of desirable properties for the solution set of L CESs have been disclosed. A combination of inner loop and outer loop methods for determining the final set of optimal locations have been described.

    摘要: An approach provides for conversion of global positioning system (GPS) data. A user terminal receives positioning data from a base station, wherein the positioning data is received in a second format, and wherein the second format was derived from ephemeris data broadcast via a global positioning system (GPS) in a first format. The user terminal converts the positioning data from the second format into a third format that is compatible with a protocol of the GPS system, and determines a first fix using the third format of the positioning data.
