  • Publication number: 20100302099
    Abstract: A system and process for the geo-location of an asset given no a priori knowledge regarding time and location of the asset with minimized power consumption is disclosed. In the preferred embodiment, the system is accurate to about 30 meters CEP (50% circular error probable) using just a short segment, e.g., 100-200 ms, of digitized GPS L1 signal data.

  • Publication number: 20100283673
    Abstract: A system for measuring the pseudo range from a target GPS sensor to a designated navigational satellite, for use in a satellite positioning system (SPS) is comprised of multiple GPS sensors for receiving and recording portions of the signals transmitted by designated navigational satellites, the recordings referred to as datagrams; and means for transmitting the datagrams to a datagram processing facility wherein the pseudo range from the target GPS sensor to the designated navigational satellite is derived.

  • Publication number: 20100277365
    Abstract: A mobile terminal to manage a location using multimedia data and a method thereof are disclosed. The mobile terminal acquires a Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite signal in a camera preview and utilizes the GPS satellite signal in a map service in association with multimedia data. In addition, the mobile terminal acquires and stores place name information from a location guide service using location information, and provides a service using the location information stored in the multimedia data.

  • Publication number: 20100253576
    Abstract: A GPS, GLONASS or Galileo receiver for radio positioning signals wherein at least a part of the computing of position related data based on radio signals received from a plurality of space vehicles is carried out by a graphics or sound processor. The receiver thus makes use of available computing resources, thus achieving a lower bill of material.

  • Publication number: 20100238070
    Abstract: A method for a mobile location center (MLC) to determine a location of a mobile device in a wireless communication network includes receiving a request to determine the location of the mobile device; concurrently requesting global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurements from the mobile device and terrestrial measurements from transceivers in the wireless communication network, and receiving the GNSS measurements and at least one of the terrestrial measurements. A GNSS location of the mobile device is calculated as a function of the GNSS measurements, and the calculated GNSS location is determined to be the location of the mobile device when the calculated GNSS location meets a predetermined accuracy threshold. A terrestrial location of the mobile device is calculated as a function of the terrestrial measurements, and the calculated terrestrial location is determined to be the location of the mobile device when the calculated terrestrial location meets the predetermined accuracy threshold.
