  • Patent number: 10386496
    Abstract: A satellite corrections generation system receives reference receiver measurement information from a plurality of reference receivers at established locations. In accordance with the received reference receiver measurement information, and established locations of the reference receivers, the system determines narrow-lane navigation solutions for the plurality of reference receivers. The system also determines, in accordance with the narrow-lane navigation solutions, at a first update rate, an orbit correction for each satellite of a plurality of satellites; at a second update rate, a clock correction for each such satellite; and at a third update rate that is faster than the second update rate, an update to the clock correction for each such satellite. Further, the system generates navigation satellite corrections for each such satellite, including the orbit correction updated at the first update rate, and the clock correction that is updated at the third update rate.
