  • Patent number: 11579311
    Abstract: Methods, devices, systems, media, and receivers for processing GNSS signals are described. One aspect of the present disclosure provides a method for processing satellite signals of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), the method comprising: receiving a first GNSS signal transmitted in a first GNSS operational band by a satellite of the GNSS and a second GNSS signal transmitted in a second GNSS operational band by the satellite; tracking the first GNSS signal; generating, from the tracking of the first GNSS signal, tracking parameters for the first GNSS signal; and decoding, at least based on the tracking parameters for the first GNSS signal, the second GNSS signal, wherein the first GNSS operational band is one of L1 band, L2 band or L5 band, and the second GNSS operational band is L6 band.

  • Publication number: 20230003902
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for performing a parallel search for a first positioning fix in a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver. The method includes, in some instances, determining prepositioning information, wherein the prepositioning information includes a receiver information and a satellite information for each satellite in a plurality of satellites. The method further includes determining a code phase search range and a frequency search range, based on the prepositioning information, for each satellite in the plurality of satellites. The method further includes determining a starting point information for each satellite in the plurality of satellites, wherein each respective starting point information is representative of an offset from a center of a search range of the respective satellite.
