Abstract: Calibrating an unstable sensor of a mobile device. Systems and methods for calibrating a sensor of a mobile device determine a first estimated position of the mobile device without using any measurement from the sensor of the mobile device, generate a second estimated position of the mobile device using a measurement from the sensor, estimate a sensor error of the sensor using the first estimated position and the second estimated position, and use the sensor error to determine a calibration value for adjusting one or more measurements from the sensor.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for determining position of a receiver. The positioning system comprises a transmitter network including transmitters that broadcast positioning signals. The positioning system comprises a remote receiver that acquires and tracks the positioning signals and/or satellite signals. The satellite signals are signals of a satellite-based positioning system. A first mode of the remote receiver uses terminal-based positioning in which the remote receiver computes a position using the positioning signals and/or the satellite signals. The positioning system comprises a server coupled to the remote receiver. A second operating mode of the remote receiver comprises network-based positioning in which the server computes a position of the remote receiver from the positioning signals and/or satellite signals, where the remote receiver receives and transfers to the server the positioning signals and/or satellite signals.

Abstract: Determining building weather profile parameters, and correcting an estimated altitude of a receiver using the building weather profile parameters. Systems and methods for estimating an altitude of a receiver using building weather profile parameters may identify one or more weather profile parameters for a building, determine an initial estimate of a receiver's altitude at a floor inside the building, and use the initial estimate and the identified weather profile parameters to determine a corrected estimate of the receiver's altitude at the floor.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for gathering, calculating and sending positioning information at a user device to one or more networks. In a first implementation, a user device transforms pseudorange information relating to terrestrial beacons into GNSS pseudorange information. In a second implementation, a user device sends position information using GNSS information elements. In a third implementation, a user device sends position information using non-GNSS information elements.

Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating whether a receiver is indoors or outdoors. Certain approaches evaluate data associated with a network of beacons to determine whether the receiver is indoors or outdoors. Such evaluation may include any of determining whether azimuthal angles corresponding to the beacons meet an azimuthal angle condition, determining whether elevation angles corresponding to the beacons meet an elevation angle condition, determining whether signal strengths corresponding to the beacons meet a signal strength condition, and determining whether other measurements associated with the beacons meet other measurement conditions.
