  • Patent number: 10809391
    Abstract: A receiver or method uses an offset vector to provide seamless switching between a real-time kinematic (RTK) mode and a precise positioning mode (e.g., precise point positioning, PPP) mode. An offset module or data processor is arranged to determine an offset between precise position and the RTK position estimate.

    Abstract: A system or method uses an offset vector to provide seamless switching between a real- time kinematic (RTK) mode and a precise positioning mode. A correction wireless device is adapted to receive, at the reference receiver, a precise signal encoded with precise correction data. A precise positioning estimator of the reference receiver is arranged to determine a precise position based on the measured carrier phase of the received satellite signals and the received precise correction data in a precise correction mode. At the reference receiver, an offset module can determine a base offset vector between the precise position and a reference RTK position for the reference receiver.
