Abstract: Subjects of the present disclosure are methods for training deep learning models, methods for predicting a map matching parameter, methods for updating a digital road map, and a computer program making it possible to implement the methods and devices for updating a digital road map. The general principle is based on the use of machine learning. Accordingly, a statistical deep learning model is trained according to a “supervised” machine learning scheme. Thereafter, the pretrained statistical deep learning model is used to predict a map matching parameter on the basis of a measurement of geographic coordinates and of an identifier of the position sensor that has performed the measurement of geographic coordinates. Finally, the map matching parameter can be used to update a digital road map.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of providing DOP forecasts for LEO navigation for routing of vehicles, aircraft, alerting humans in vehicles, or wireless devices, and bandwidth forecasts for LEO communications. The method includes accessing a 3D map of an area including structure solids and generating cuboids in spaces not contained in the structure solids; and iteratively over time increments, calculating LEO satellites visible from the cuboids using the map and, using at least the calculated visibility, determining forecasts for the cuboids at the time increments. Also included is compressing the determined forecast spatially and temporally; and distributing the compressed DOP forecast via a CDN, responsive to queries from requestors. Systems of the requestors can take into account the forecast for routing vehicles or alerting humans in vehicles to a predicted navigation impairment. Risk analysis is applied to improving computation and distribution of forecasts. Forecasts are applied to satellite deployment.

Abstract: Several examples of a navigation disruption device and methods of using the same are described herein that use real-time, low-cost computation to generate conflicting/competing signals to actual Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals. For example, the novel, hand-held navigation disruption devices described herein (1) generate signals from a simulated satellite constellation, wherein the signals from the simulated satellite constellation conflict/compete with signals from one or more actual satellite constellations, and (2) transmit the signals from the simulated satellite constellation(s) towards an unmanned vehicle. The signals from the simulated satellite constellation(s) cause the unmanned vehicle to compute an incorrect position, which in turn disrupts its ability to navigate and operate effectively.

Abstract: A system and method for providing communications with a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation using a non-omnidirectional antenna is disclosed. A system and method for determining blockages around a non-omnidirectional antenna for use with a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation is disclosed. The method including: receiving System Information (SI) including ephemeris data for satellites in the LEO constellation; receiving a segment division that divides a ground about the antenna into segments; and determining a segment blocking information for the antenna. The determining is performed by, for each of the satellites, calculating a current direction from the antenna to the respective satellite based on the respective satellite's ephemeris data, mapping the current direction into one of the segments, aiming the antenna in the current direction, attempting a signal lock with the satellite, and setting the segment blocking information indicating the mapped segment as blocked, when the signal lock is unsuccessful.

Abstract: Assisted-GPS for a portable biometric monitoring device is provided. The portable biometric monitoring device may obtain updated ephemeris data from an associated secondary device via a short-range, low-power communication protocol. The secondary device may be a computing device such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Various rules may control when the ephemeris data is updated. The ephemeris data may be used in the calculation of the global position of the portable biometric monitoring device. Additionally, the portable biometric monitoring device may communicate downloaded position fixing data to the associated secondary device. The associated secondary device may then calculate the global position from the position fixing data.
