    摘要: A method for operating a GNSS-based navigation module in a vehicle during a starting phase of the vehicle is disclosed. The method includes a) requesting initial GNSS navigation data from an external data source which provides data at a data rate which is greater than a data provision rate of a regular data source of a GNSS system for GNSS navigation data, and receiving the initial GNSS navigation data from this external data source, b) requesting initial GNSS correction data from an external data source which provides data at a data rate which is greater than a data provision rate of a regular data source of a GNSS system for GNSS correction data, and receiving the initial GNSS correction data from this external data source, and c) determining at least one initial output parameter on the basis of the initial GNSS navigation data and the initial GNSS correction data.

    摘要: A method for wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE) and related apparatus are provided. In the method, the first UE obtains global navigation satellite system (GNSS) assistance data for a sidelink positioning session with one or more second UEs via a sidelink message, and calculates, based on the GNSS assistance data for the sidelink positioning session, the position of at least one of the first UE or the one or more second UEs. The first UE further outputs an indication indicative of the calculated position of at least one of the first UE or the one or more second UEs. The method provides a signaling mechanism to support communicating positioning data over a sidelink connection of a UE. It enhances positioning accuracy for UEs operating on sidelink connections and improves the efficiency of wireless communication.

    摘要: The described features generally relate to receiving one or more positioning signals at a satellite terminal during installation of the satellite terminal at a customer premises, and providing position-based access to a satellite communications system based on a satellite terminal installation position determined from the received positioning signals. The determined installation position of the satellite terminal may then be employed for various network access techniques, such as providing access to the satellite communications system, providing position-based content, or restricting content via the satellite communications system based on the determined installation position. In some examples the determined installation position of the satellite terminal may be used to approximate a propagation delay between the satellite terminal and various devices of the satellite communications system, such as a serving satellite and/or a serving gateway, to improve device synchronization and radio frequency spectrum resource utilization.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a fifth generation (5G) or sixth generation (6G) communication system for supporting higher data rates. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. The method may include: transmitting, to a location server, capability information of the UE related to global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positioning integrity (PI); receiving information about one or more key performance indicators (KPIs) from the location server; and transmitting, to the location server, resultant information about the GNSS PI, based on the one or more KPIs.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for data fusion between portable electronic devices and wearable accessories that is used to improve location information, particularly with respect to vertical location. A barometer sensor in a wearable accessory is used to obtain relative accurate height information, and an ultra wide band (UWB) radio is used to determine the distance between the wearable accessory and the portable electronic device. At a second timestamp, a barometer in a wearable device is used to calculate a difference in elevation between the first timestamp and the second timestamp. This measurement, along with a measured distance between the devices, can be used to accurately determine elevation. The wireless accessory and the portable electronic device communicate the obtained height and distance information. Accordingly, accurate navigation signals may be provided, even where multiple levels of roadways overlap, such as in parking garages or complex highway interchanges.

    摘要: In a positioning system configured to perform positioning using N mobile terminals, where N is an integer of two or greater, each of the mobile terminals includes a positioning device, a communication device configured to exchange information with another mobile terminal using wireless communication, and a battery configured to supply power to the positioning device and the communication device. Each of first mobile terminals that are some of the mobile terminals activates the positioning device to perform positioning of a first current position, and a second mobile terminal other than the first mobile terminals reduces at least power to be used by the positioning device, and uses information of the first current position positioned by the first mobile terminal, and the information exchanged with the first mobile terminal by the communication device to perform positioning of a second current position.

    摘要: Onboard geolocation of target pixels in images captured by a spacecraft is disclosed. By performing the geolocation onboard the spacecraft considerable time is saved. The geolocation may be based on timestamped ephemeris data and timestamped attitude data of the spacecraft. In one aspect, initial geolocation data is refined based on a digital construct. In one aspect, the accuracy of the ephemeris data and/or the attitude data are improved based on refinements made to the initial geolocation data. For example, corrections may be made to attitude and/or orbit filter parameters based on the refinements made to the initial geolocation data. In one aspect, the accuracy of the attitude data and/or the ephemeris data may be improved by the use of state information. The state information may be determined at a ground computing station based on information not available to the spacecraft such as Ground Control Points and/or Star Control Points.
