    Abstract: Described is a technology by which GPS-capable devices work with a cloud service to receive satellite visibility-related data. The satellite visibility-related data may be used to determine a location, and/or to abort a search for satellites. The cloud service may use crowd data from other GPS-capable devices. In one aspect, line-of-sight satellites are differentiated from other satellites, and used to determine which satellite signals are more trustworthy. Reflected signals also may be determined.

    Abstract: Some implementations provide low power reduced sampling of global positioning system (GPS) locations. A server may be configured to assist a mobile device in determining a location from a plurality of GPS signal samples and corresponding time stamps provided by the mobile device, such as by identifying a set of possible reference locations, which may be used to calculate a location of the mobile device. In another example, the mobile device may sample GPS signals using a GPS receiver, compress the samples, and provide the compressed samples to the server for processing.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing and transmitting precise orbit predictions of satellites in a Global Navigation Satellite System such as Navstar-GPS which employs curve fitting techniques and a polynomial and sinusoidal model to encode ephemerides, and particularly ephemerides of durations 6 hours or longer, in order to minimize bandwidth requirements over-the-air and NVRAM storage requirements. The methods also apply to GNSS constellations such as Galileo or GLONASS. Also, methods are disclosed for recovering the ephemeris on a GNSS receiver device in the constellation's native format.

    Abstract: A device can access scaled values and scaling factors, which are used to convert the scaled values into coefficients and residuals. The coefficients and residuals can in turn be used with time- dependent functions to reconstruct predicted ephemeris data, including clock correction data, for satellite navigation system satellites. Ephemeris data that is broadcast from any of the satellites can be used to update the calculated ephemeris data.

    Abstract: Methods and devices may request and provide assistance data from an assistance server to a receiver in a global navigation satellite system. A request for assistance data may include a preference list of navigation models suitable for the requesting receiver.
