Принадлежит: QUALCOMM INCORPORATED

A method and apparatus for measuring time related to satellite data messages which are used with satellite positioning systems (SPS). In one method, a first record of at least a portion of a satellite data message is received at an entity, which is typically a basestation. The first record is compared with a second record of the satellite data message, where the first record and the second record overlap at least partially in time. Then a time is determined from this comparison, and this time indicates when the first record (or the source from which the first record was obtained) was received at a remote entity which is typically a mobile SPS receiver. Various other methods of the invention are described and various apparatuses of the invention are also described. The methods and apparatuses measure time of day using SPS signals without reading the satellite data messages which are transmitted as data within these signals. The methods and apparatuses are suitable for situations in which ...

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DEMODULATING CODE SHIFT KEYING DATA UTILIZING CORRELATIONS WITH COMBINATIONAL PRN CODES GENERATED FOR DIFFERENT BIT POSITIONS

Номер: CA0003048209A1
Принадлежит: BORDEN LADNER GERVAIS LLP

A global navigation satellite system (gnss) receiver demodulates code shift keying (csk) data utilizing correlations with combinational pseudo-random noise (prn) codes generated for different bit positions. The gnss receiver receives a signal including a prn code modulated by csk to represent a symbol (i.e., csk modulated symbol). The gnss receiver maintains a plurality of receiver codes, each representing a different shift in chips to the prn code. The gnss receiver performs a chip-by-chip linear combination of a group of receiver codes for each bit position of the csk modulated symbol. The gnss receiver correlates the received signal with each combinational prn code to produce a binary value that is the csk modulated symbol.

Sub-microsecond time transfer in a GPS/GNSS receiver using a weak GPS/GNSS signal is provided. The digitized complex baseband signal and the generated PN code are cross-correlated for each code period so as to output a complex correlation value at each code epoch of the generated PN code, where a sequence of the output correlation values form a data stream representing the navigation message. Bit synchronization generates bit sync pulses at bit boundaries. The location of a target segment having a known sequence at a known bit location in the navigation message is detected by searching through a plurality of subframes and accumulating search results for the plurality of subframes. Transmission time of the target segment is determined from the detected location of the target segment, with a certain time ambiguity. Accurate local time is determined by solving the time ambiguity using approximate time obtained from an external source.

The output of the non-crystal oscillator is liable to discontinuous jumps, and is controlled intermittently in accordance with its value and that of a crystal oscillator. A filter is used to limit the rate of change of frequency that the control signal applied to the non-crystal oscillator demands such that the phase rotation of the output of the non-crystal oscillator is less than p over the period of time that it takes to despread a GPS signal. The crystal oscillator may also act as a controlling reference signal for the mobile phone. The cellular phone may provide control information to correct the crystal oscillator intermittently.

Amelioration of frequency errors and their effects

Номер: GB0002496160A
Принадлежит:

A radio communications device comprises a GPS receiver having a crystal oscillator whose output frequency acts as a controlling reference for a local oscillator. A processing means intermittently corrects the frequency of the crystal oscillator, so the frequency jumps. A detector detects such jumps, which are taken into account by the GPS processing. This may involve discarding calculations affected by the jump, limiting calculations to those performed before the jump, or correcting the calculations. A filter may smooth the control signal applied to the crystal oscillator so as to limit the rate of change of the frequency so as to ensure that the phase change caused by the correction is less than p over the time taken to despread the GPS signal. The same oscillator may be used in a cellular telephone.

An offset estimator (e.g., a time delay, a spatial image offset, etc.) makes use of a transform approach (e.g., using Fast Fourier Transforms). The sparse nature of a cross-correlation is exploited by limiting the computation required in either or both of the forward and inverse transforms. For example, only a subset of the transform values (e.g., a regular subsampling of the values) is used. In some examples, an inverse transform yields a time aliased version of the cross-correlation. Further processing then identifies the most likely offset of the original signals by considering offsets that are consistent with the aliased output. 1. Method for determining a relative offset estimate between a first signal and a second signal comprising:acquiring at least one of the first signal and the second signal;for each of the first signal and the second signal, determining a subset of transform coefficients of said signal;combining the subsets of the transform coefficients to determine a subset of transform coefficients of a correlation signal;performing an inverse transform of the subset of the transform coefficients of the correlation signal yielding a modified correlation signal;determining a set of two of more relative offsets consistent with the modified correlation signal;determining the relative offset estimate, including performing a correlation computation using the first and the second signals at multiple of the two of more relative offsets; andproviding a data signal representing the relative offset estimate.2.

System and method for demodulating code shift keying data from a satellite signal utilizing a binary search

Номер: US10742257B1
Принадлежит: Novatel Inc

A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver demodulates code shift keying (CSK) data utilizing a binary search. The GNSS receiver receives a signal including a pseudorandom noise (PRN) code modulated by code shift keying (CSK) to represent a symbol (i.e., CSK modulated symbol). The GNSS receiver maintains a plurality of receiver codes each representing a different shift in chips to the PRN code. The GNSS receiver performs a linear combination of portions of the receiver codes. In an embodiment, the GNSS receiver compares correlation power level value for respective portions of the receiver codes to demodulate the CSK data. In a further embodiment, the GNSS receiver compares the correlation power level values for portions of receiver codes with power detection threshold values to demodulate the CSK data. In a further embodiment, the GNSS receiver utilizes signs of the correlation power level values to demodulate the CSK data.

Global positioning system and global positioning method with improved sensitivity by detecting navigation data inversion boundaries

Номер: US6297770B1
Принадлежит: Mitsubishi Electric Corp

A Global Positioning System (GPS) forms a C/A code sequence by summing, beginning from a polarity inversion boundary determined by a correlation peak position detector, chips at corresponding positions in PN frames constituting each bit of navigation data; calculates pseudo ranges by computing correlation between the C/A code sequence and a reference C/A code sequence generated by the GPS terminal; and determines the position of the GPS terminal using the pseudo ranges and navigation data. The navigation data detected inside the GPS terminal is used when a received electric field detected by a received electric field intensity detector is greater than a threshold level, and the navigation data received from an external system is used when the received electric field is below the threshold level. Thus, the number of PN frames to be integrated is limited because the polarity inversion boundaries of the navigation data are detected, and hence the sensitivity (S/N ratio) is sufficient. Communication between a terminal and a base station is not always required for determining the position because the GPS terminal does not always obtain the Doppler information from the base station, reducing communication cost.
