  • Publication number: 20240142632
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and other techniques for computing a position of a rover using satellite signals from a plurality of satellites. Safe ephemeris data may be received at a base station. The safe ephemeris data may indicate positions of the plurality of satellites. The safe ephemeris data may be wirelessly transmitted from the base station to the rover. Rover carrier-phase measurements may be obtained based on the satellite signals received at the rover. The position of the rover may be computed using at least the rover carrier phase measurements and the safe ephemeris data.

  • Patent number: 11709280
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention relate to generating correction information based on global or regional navigation satellite system (NSS) multiple-frequency signals observed at a network of reference stations, broadcasting the correction information, receiving the correction information at one or more monitoring stations, estimating ambiguities in the carrier phase of the NSS signals observed at the monitoring station(s) using the correction information received thereat, generating residuals, generating post-broadcast integrity information based thereon, and broadcasting the post-broadcast integrity information. Other embodiments relate to receiving and processing correction information and post-broadcast integrity information at NSS receivers or at devices which may have no NSS receiver, as well as to systems, NSS receivers, devices which may have no NSS receiver, processing centers, and computer programs.
