Abstract: In a mobile-unit positioning device, phases of pseudo noise codes carried on satellite s.ignals from satellites are observed at a mobile unit to measure a position of the mobile unit. A pseudo distance between one of the satellites and the mobile unit is measured for every satellite during a stop of the mobile unit using an observed value of the phase acquired during a stop of the mobile unit. An error index value indicating an error of the measured pseudo distance is computed based on the pseudo distances measured at points in time during a stop of the mobile unit. A weighting factor is determined based on the index value computed for every satellite. A weighted positioning computation using the determined weighting factor is performed to determine a position of the mobile unit during movement using an observed value of the phase acquired during movement. A further device is proposed wherein the position is measured using a similar method, however, in this case, the error "index is based on an error of a computed mobile unit speed, rather than on the pseudo distance.

Abstract: A method and location determination module is provided for determining a location of one of a plurality of units (16A, 16B, 16C, 12, 14) using neighbor lists (212). Each unit is communicatively coupled to at least some of the other plurality of units (16A, 16B, 16C, 12, 14), where at least some of the plurality of units (16A, 16B, 16C, 12, 14) are reference units, whose locations are known. The units communicate with other (16A, 16B, 16C, 12, 14) nearby units within communication range, to establish neighbor lists (212). A unit to be located then identifies an aggregate value corresponding to the number of occurrences of the reference units in the neighbor list (212) of the unit to be located and the neighbor lists (212) of each of a group of associated units. The location of the unit to be located is then determined, based upon the known locations of the reference units and the number of identified occurrences of the reference units in the corresponding neighbor lists (212).

Abstract: Method and apparatus for validating an initial position in a satellite positioning system using range-rate measurements is described. In one example, range-rate measurements are obtained at the remote receiver with respect to a plurality of satellites. Expected range-rates are computed with respect to the plurality of satellites using the initial position. Single differences are computed using the range-rate measurements. Expected single differences are computed using the expected range-rates. Single difference residuals are computed between the single differences and the expected single differences. The single difference residuals are compared to a threshold. The initial position may be deemed valid if the absolute value of each of the single difference residuals is less than or equal to the threshold. A valid initial position may be used to fix the pseudorange integers.

Abstract: A GPS-based underwater cable positioning system for use in determining the shape and position of hydrophone streamers towed underwater behind survey vessels involved in marine seismic prospecting. The system includes a plurality of surface units towed behind the vessel. Each surface unit includes a GPS receiver to receive radio frequency GPS signals and to determine its positions. Each surface unit also has an acoustic transmitter to transmit an acoustic message signal representing its position and an optional time stamp into the water. Acoustic receiver units, attached spaced apart locations along one or more streamer cables, each include an acoustic receiver to receive the acoustic message signals from the surface units and to determine its position from the message signals. To augment the message signals from the surface units at locations distant from the surface units, acoustic transceiver units may be used. The acoustic transceiver units are attached to the streamer cables at ranges between the surface units and distant acoustic receiver units. The acoustic transceiver units each include an acoustic receiver that performs as the receivers in the acoustic receiver units and an acoustic transmitter to transmit acoustic message signals representing its position and an optional time stamp into the water to be received by the acoustic receiver units. In this way, the positions and shapes of towed streamer cables can be determined.
