Abstract: The invention includes a process for one's own global navigation satellite system and at least one other global navigation satellite system including the following: Receiving ranging signals and navigation messages or ranging signals only from the at least one other global navigation satellite system, and processing the received ranging signals and navigation messages in a similar way as the ranging signals and navigation messages of the owned global navigation satellite system.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for a regional or global navigation satellite system that includes an arrangement for receiving additional data or navigation messages from the navigation satellite system, and an arrangement for informing or alarming the user that critical atmospheric conditions occur, whereby the additional data or the navigation messages include atmospheric information.

Abstract: A process for increasing the availability of a global navigation system that includes a plurality of spacecraft, each of which transmits information for determining the position of a terminal. From the plurality of spacecraft, a first subset, with at least one spacecraft, and a second subset are determined, the second subset being constituted by those spacecraft that are not included in the first subset. The integrity risk is determined for the information transmitted only by the second spacecraft. The first and the second subsets of spacecraft are determined such that the integrity risk, for information transmitted by the second subset spacecraft minimized relative to the integrity risk for information of all spacecraft included in the plurality of spacecraft.

Abstract: In a method for relative time and position determinations for moving objects of a constellation, signals by the objects are isochronously transmitted, with each object transmitting a unique signal for that object. The received signals of each object of the constellation are transmitted to all other objects of the constellation after a predetermined waiting time.
