    Abstract: A circuit includes a first wireless radio frequency (RF) transceiver and a time-of-flight estimator included with or coupled to the first wireless RF transceiver. The time-of-flight estimator estimates a time-of-flight between the first wireless RF transceiver and a second wireless RF transceiver using: a first interval value that indicates an amount of time between when the second wireless RF transceiver received the message and when the second wireless RF transceiver transmitted the response; a first error value that indicates an offset between when the second wireless RF transceiver sampled the message and a target sampling point for the message; a second interval value that indicates an amount of time between when the TX chain sent the message and when the RX chain received the response; and a second error value that indicates an offset between when the RX chain sampled the response and a target sampling point for the response.

    Abstract: A method for detecting spoofing comprises monitoring GNSS satellite signals with a GNSS receiver; obtaining current time, current orbital information values, Doppler shift, and/or dilution of precision from the GNSS receiver, with the current orbital information values comprising orbital position with respect to a current position of the GNSS receiver; retrieving past orbital information values comprising orbital position, and calculating predicted orbital information values based on the past orbital information values, with respect to the current time from the receiver, with the predicted orbital information values comprising orbital position with respect to the current position of the receiver. The method compares the predicted orbital information values, Doppler shift, and/or dilution of precision, with the current orbital information values to obtain discriminator values; determines whether the discriminator values are greater than threshold levels; and outputs a spoofing alert signal when the discriminator values are greater than the threshold levels.

    Abstract: A method for checking the integrity of the point positioning process obtained by determining the closest position, based on the adapted filtering of received GNSS signals, of a set of georeferenced reference positions for implementation on a mobile or fixed carrier, the method making it possible to check that the correlation function of the received GNSS signals is consistent with the selected reference position. The method for checking the integrity of the nearest location comprises: a first step for pre-selecting satellite signals suitable for the position integrity test, based on the minimum signal-to-noise ratio of the point correlation channel, a second step to exclude satellite signals that are not compatible with the predicted code phases, based on the absence of a Maximum At Center (MAC) of the early-punctual-late correlation points and meeting the non-integrity, non-continuity and alarm delay risks required for positioning system security, at least one maximum likelihood search step on the set of reference positions obtained by cumulating the elementary powers of the various selected satellites.

    Abstract: Common view time transfer and related apparatuses and methods are disclosed. An apparatus includes a receiver oscillator to provide a local clock signal and one or more processors. The one or more processors are to perform, at least partially based on the local clock signal, event time tagging pre-processing at least partially responsive to satellite signals received from one or more satellites to generate a decimated precision correction state estimate; determine, per satellite signal pseudo range residuals; determine a navigation engine clock state; perform a precision clock state pre-processing operation at least partially responsive to the navigation engine clock state and the decimated precision correction state estimate to generate a precision navigation clock state; and generate a common view real time report at least partially responsive to the per satellite signal pseudo range residuals and the precision navigation clock state.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for secure communication over multiple secure paths through an intelligent and dynamic gateway capable of receiving and processing communications received from multiple paths, protocols, physical spectrums, or sources and processing such inputs using software (e.g., middleware or one or more virtual machines (VMs)) to generate wide area network (WAN) output that can, in turn, be transmitted to multiple paths, irrespective of protocol, physical spectrum, or destinations. As such, the current gateway can be configured to be agnostic to the nature of input or output technologies and manage the conversion of data for ubiquitous telecommunications management.
