Abstract: Method and apparatus for locating position of a remote receiver is described. In one example, long term satellite tracking data is obtained at a remote receiver. Satellite positioning system (SPS) satellites are detected. Pseudoranges are determined from the remote receiver to the detected SPS satellites. Position of the remote receiver is computed using the pseudoranges and the long term satellite tracking data. SPS satellites may be detected using at least one of acquisition assistance data computed using a previously computed position and a blind search. Use of long term satellite tracking data obviates the need for the remote receiver to decode ephemeris from the satellites. In addition, position of the remote receiver is computed without obtaining an initial position estimate from a server or network.

Abstract: A system and method examines the quality of a positioning signal acquisition assistance window of an assisted position location system. The fit of acquisition assistance windows is examined using a posteriori knowledge of specific, or hypothetical, position measurements from a mobile station. A base station almanac manager compares mobile station measurement data to acquisition assistance window data, records an outcome based upon the comparison including a window quality value ( W Q ), or range of window quality values. Source data used in the generation of acquisition assistance windows is adjusted according to the window quality value.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for distributing satellite navigation data is described. In one example, satellite signals are processed at each of a plurality of reference stations to receive a respective plurality of satellite navigation data streams. Packets are formed in response to said plurality of satellite navigation data streams to generate a plurality of packetized satellite navigation data streams. The packetized satellite navigation data streams are sent to a processing system. The processing system removes duplicate packets within said plurality of packetized satellite navigation data streams to generate a combined packet system. The combined packet stream is then sent into a communication network.

Abstract: Accurate position capability can be quickly provided using a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). When associated with a WLAN, a wireless device (102) can quickly determine its relative and/or coordinate position based on information provided by an access point (101) in the WLAN. Before the wireless device (102) disassociates with the access point (101), the WLAN can periodically provide time, location, and decoded GPS data to the wireless device (101). In this manner, the wireless device (102) can significantly reduce the time to acquire the necessary GPS satellite data to determine its coordinate position.

Abstract: A server is disclosed which is configured to transmit to a remote GPS receiver upon determining the availability of updated assistance data for assisting the GPS receiver to acquire GPS signals either a signal notifying the GPS receiver of such availability or a signal containing the updated assistance data. Such a server may be configured to both transmit a signal notifying the GPS receiver of such availability and, upon receiving a request from the remote GPS receiver for the updated assistance data, to transmit the updated assistance data to the GPS receiver. Also disclosed is a GPS receiver configured to request from a remote server updated assistance data for assisting the GPS receiver to acquire GPS signals upon determining that such assistance data currently stored by the GPS receiver is invalid.

Abstract: A mobile terminal is configured to receive wireless communications including GPS data from a terrestrial and/or satellite wireless network, and to perform pseudo-range measurements using the GPS data that is received. The mobile terminal may be configured to perform pseudo-range measurements by receiving GPS coarse/acquisition (C/A) signals from GPS satellites, estimating Doppler shifts in the received GPS C/A signals, and estimating received code phases of the GPS C/A signals using the Doppler shifts that are estimated. The estimated code phases and/or the estimated Doppler shifts of the GPS C/A signals can provide the pseudo-range measurements. By removing the Doppler shift from the received signal samples prior to performing the code phase measurement, reduced computational complexity and/or processing time may be obtained.
