  • Patent number: 11624837
    Abstract: A central location system provides an end-to-end high-accuracy positioning solution that provides navigation, geo-tagging, and general positioning data to receivers. The central location system does this by providing a cloud correction service and a robust positioning engine. For example, the central location system may provide single-frequency receivers with corrections for atmospheric delays and multipath throughout different geographic regions. The central location system computes corrections by leveraging location data from dual-frequency receivers. The central location system may also increase ionospheric delay coverage of portions of a geographic region. With increased ionospheric delay coverage, receivers can compute better location estimates. The central location system may also compute refined location estimates of single-frequency receivers and/or dual-frequency receivers for receivers with limited access to signals transmitted from satellites.
