Patent number: 11668841Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing of GNSS signals are presented. These include GNSS processing with obtaining GNSS data derived from signals received at a rover antenna, obtaining correction data, maintaining a time sequence of at least one rover position and at least one rover position difference with associated time tags, using the time sequence to determine at least one derived rover position by, starting from a position determined using corrections synchronous with rover data as an anchor position at a time tag, deriving a new anchor position for the time tag of the anchor position and at least one other estimated rover position at the time tag of the anchor position, and/or reporting the new anchor position and/or a new derived rover position.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Trimble Inc.Inventors: Ulrich Vollath, Nicholas Charles Talbot, Markus Glocker, Xiaoming Chen, Rodrigo Leandro

Patent number: 10895646Abstract: The invention relates to a method carried out by a navigation satellite system (NSS) receiver or a processing entity receiving data therefrom, for estimating parameters useful to determine a position. The NSS receiver observes NSS signals from NSS satellites. Two filters, called “robustifier” and “main estimator” respectively, both use state variables and compute the values thereof based on: NSS signals observed by the NSS receiver, and/or information derived therefrom. The robustifier identifies, within the input data, measurements that do not match a stochastic model assigned thereto. For each identified measurement, the robustifier rejects the measurement, adjusts the stochastic model assigned to the measurement, and/or corrects the measurement. The robustifier uses fewer state variables than the main estimator. A corresponding system is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2017Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: Trimble Inc.Inventors: Stefan Junker, Markus Glocker, Nicholas Charles Talbot

Advanced navigation satellite system positioning method and system using delayed precise information
Patent number: 10670734Abstract: The invention relates to a method carried out by a navigation satellite system (NSS) receiver or a processing entity receiving data therefrom, for estimating parameters useful to determine a position. The NSS receiver observes NSS signals from NSS satellites over multiple epochs. A first filter, called “timely estimator”, and second filter, called “precise estimator” and delayed with respect to the timely estimator, are operated. The estimators use state variables, and make use of NSS signals observed by the NSS receiver or information derived therefrom. The precise estimator further computes its state variable values based on observations that are not derived from NSS signals observed by the NSS receiver. The values of some of the state variables computed by the timely estimator are recurrently replaced by values from the precise estimator. A corresponding system is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2017Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: Trimble Inc.Inventors: Markus Glocker, Nicholas Charles Talbot, Bruno Scherzinger -
