  • Publication number: 20230015003
    Abstract: Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses in a vehicle to determine location relative to a roadside unit (RSU) or other nearby point of reference. Vehicles within a pre-designated range or within broadcast distance or otherwise geographically proximate to a roadside unit, through the use of broadcast or other messages sent by the vehicles and/or the RSU may share carrier GNSS phase measurement data, wherein the shared GNSS carrier phase measurement data may be utilized to control and coordinate vehicle movements, velocity and/or position by the RSU and/or to determine location of each vehicle relative to the RSU and/or to other vehicles or determine the absolute location of each vehicle. An RSU may coordinate vehicle access to an intersection, manage vehicle speeds and coordinate or control vehicle actions such as slowing, stopping, and changing lanes or sending a vehicle to a particular location.

    Abstract: Disclosed are various techniques for wireless communication. In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a satellite vehicle (SV), a signal of a first frequency band, estimate a first ionospheric delay residual error based on the signal of the first frequency band, calculate a first pseudorange measurement and a first carrier phase measurement based on the first ionospheric delay residual error, and estimate a position using the first pseudorange measurement and the first carrier phase measurement. In some aspects, the ionospheric delay residual error is estimated via a Klobuchar equation. In some aspects, the position is estimated using ultra-long baseline real-time kinematics (RTK) positioning.

  • Publication number: 20220342082
    Abstract: In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives a spoofing alert message from either a server or an internet-of-things (IOT) device that indicates whether a spoofed Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) condition is present. Based on determining that the spoofing alert message indicates that a spoofed GNSS condition is present, the UE determines, based on the spoofing alert message, a location of a spoofer broadcasting a spoofed GNSS signal, determines, based on the location of the spoofer and a current location of the UE, that the UE is within a receiving area of the spoofed GNSS signal, and determines a position of the UE without using the spoofed GNSS signal.

  • Publication number: 20220057530
    Abstract: Techniques described herein leverage MCMF functionality to provide a local RTK solution for a mobile device in which an initial highly-accurate location determination for the mobile device can be leveraged to generate RTK correction information that can be used to make subsequent, highly-accurate location determinations without the need for measurement information from an RTK base station. This RTK correction information can be applied to GNSS measurements taken by the mobile device over a long period of time while retaining the ability to produce highly-accurate location determinations for the mobile device. And additional correction information may be obtained and applied to the RTK correction information to extend this period of time even longer.

  • Publication number: 20220057529
    Abstract: A Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) solution is provided to mobile devices having multi-constellation, multi-frequency (MCMF) functionality, in which a single base station may have a baseline much farther than traditional base station. To enable this, embodiments account for differences in atmospheric effects between the rover station and base station when determining a GNSS position fix for a mobile device (rover station), allowing for a separate tropospheric delay error for a base station to be determined. Embodiments may use additional satellite measurements for which no RTK correction is available, and may further use orbital clock correction for these additional satellite measurements.

  • Publication number: 20220057531
    Abstract: A Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) solution is provided to mobile devices having multi-constellation, multi-frequency (MCMF) functionality, in which a single base station may have a baseline much farther than traditional base station and where the high accuracy positioning is achieved in a relatively short period of time. To enable this, embodiments involve modeling of an ionosphere-free carrier phase corresponding to combinations of at least three signals received from one or more satellites. The modeling retains the integer nature of carrier phase ambiguities, thereby allowing for fast convergence in determining the integer ambiguity of the carrier phases.
