    Abstract: A method and device for managing a reference oscillator within a wireless device is presented. The method includes selecting reference oscillator parameters associated with the lowest reference oscillator error, where the selection is based upon reference oscillator parameters derived using different technologies within a wireless device, acquiring a satellite based upon the selected reference parameters, determining the quality of the satellite-based position fix, and updating the reference oscillator parameters based upon the quality of the satellite-based position fix. The wireless device includes a wireless communications system, a satellite positioning system (SPS) receiver, a reference oscillator connected to the wireless communications system and SPS receiver, and a mobile controller connected to the reference oscillator, SPS, and wireless communications system, and a memory connected to the mobile controller, where the memory stores a reference oscillator parameter table and instructions causing the mobile controller to execute the aforementioned method.

    Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and techniques for propagating a system time maintained at a mobile device in a lower power mode using a sleep counter advanced by an XO crystal oscillator. In one particular implementation, a mobile device obtains initial and subsequent satellite positioning system fixes while in a higher power mode. Between the initial and subsequent position fixes, the mobile device may transition to a lower power mode during which measurements of a temperature of the XO crystal oscillator may be obtained.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods for a mobile device and a base station almanac server to throttle crowdsourcing information are presented. The crowdsourcing information is used to improve a location of a base station in a base station almanac. A portion of the base station almanac is provided to a mobile device. For example, the mobile device may identify its current cell and request the base station almanac. The mobile device records crowdsourcing information to identify, for each particular base station of at least one base station, a cellular identifier for the particular base station, optional ranging information between the particular base station and the mobile device, and an independent position of the mobile device. The independent position of the mobile device may be formed from global navigation satellite system (GNSS) or station signals independent of the at least one base station.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for temperature-calibration of an uncompensated XO in a mobile device during mobile device operation. The XO is temperature-calibrated based on assistance from wireless signals, such as from satellite source, and optionally from terrestrial sources such as WWAN, CDMA, etc. Based on one or more received wireless signals received at a receiver, corresponding frequency estimates of the XO are obtained and correlated with corresponding operating temperatures in a processor. Based on one or more samples of frequency estimates and associated temperatures, the XO is temperature-calibrated in the processor wherein a frequency-temperature (FT) model is formulated for the XO. The frequency of the temperature-calibrated XO can be determined from the FT model at any given temperature.

    Abstract: A method of determining a location of a base station includes: receiving, at a mobile device from a location server, a base station identifier (BSID) of the base station and two or more candidate locations of the base station; receiving a signal, at the mobile device from the base station identified by the BSID; and selecting, at the mobile device, a particular candidate location from the two or more candidate locations based on a characteristic determined from the signal. A method of identifying an actual location of a base station includes: transmitting, from a location server to a disambiguating mobile device, a base station identifier (BSID) of the base station and two or more candidate locations of the base station; and receiving, at the location server from the disambiguating mobile device, an indication of the actual location of the base station from among the two or more candidate locations.
