    Abstract: The present invention relates to navigation data bit synchronization for a GNSS receiver and more specifically to a software-based GNSS receiver that is operable to rapidly achieve accurate navigation data bit synchronization. It provides a system, method and computer program for navigation data bit synchronization for a GNSS receiver. The system comprises a navigation bit synchronization engine operable to detect one or more indicators in one or more data samples received from a GNSS satellite. The location of the navigation bit is derivable from the one or more indicators. The bit synchronization engine may include one or more of (i) a coarse search utility, (ii) a regular search utility, (iii) a fine search utility and (iv) a bit-edge prediction utility.

  • Publication number: 20120293366
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system, method and computer program for a GNSS receiver that is operable to provide an ultra fast Time To First Fix (TTFF). The invention is implementable without requiring the decoding of a navigation message transmitted by GNSS satellite systems. The system of the present invention may comprise a parameter obtaining means, a clock obtaining means and a Fast TTFF engine. The parameter obtaining means may obtain satellite parameters of one or more GNSS satellites. The clock obtaining means may obtain a clock for estimating a GNSS time tag. The Fast TTFF engine may be linkable to a signal interface that is operable to provide I/Q samples from a GNSS antenna. The Fast TTFF engine may comprise a measurement generation utility, a coarse search utility and a fine search utility. The measurement generation utility may compute the Doppler frequency shift and the code phase of the one or more GNSS satellites based on the I/Q samples.
