Abstract: A method and apparatus for fast searching GNSS signals performed on a GNSS receiver includes the steps of receiving a signal having a known pseudo random noise code. State information of a code generator is stored when a pseudo random noise code is generated. Several NCO, including a Doppler NCO are used to search GNSS signal for several supposed Doppler’s simultaneously. A search window associated with the received signal is reviewed a first time to identify a source of the received signal. After it is determined if a source of the received signal can be identified, the state information is loaded into the code generator prior to reviewing the search window a second time etc. Search windows is shifting by all length PRN Code. The loading of state information allows sequential review of the search window without readjustment of a fast search module which speeds the process of analyzing the received signals.

Abstract: A method and a receiver apparatus allows obtaining accurate estimates of motion parameters of a mobile receiver, including smoothed estimates of total coordinates increments relative to its initial position, projections of velocity vector and acceleration vector. High estimation accuracy is achieved by filtering the biased or unbiased estimates of total coordinate increments relative to the receiver's initial position using smoothing tracking filters of a 2-nd or 3-rd order.
