    Abstract: An improved code acquisition scheme for faster acquisition of GPS "coarse acquisition" (C/A) codes leads to faster detection of GPS signals, and thereby a wireless terminal may determine its position in a shorter period of time. The scheme is a combination of a frequency-domain and time-domain code acquisition techniques. The scheme utilizes a frequency-domain code acquisition technique to detect one GPS signal and to create a precise timing reference at the wireless terminal; and then utilizes time-domain code acquisition techniques to detect other GPS signals from the same satellite or other satellites faster. The scheme has the advantage of being able to be used for any wireless communications system without the requirement of maintaining a precise timing reference in the wireless terminals, and without the requirement of heavy computational resources that are usually needed in systems that utilize frequency-domain code acquisition techniques.

    Abstract: Estimated Global Position System (GPS) navigation data is used to increase the signal integration interval. In one embodiment, a WAG (wireless assisted GPS) server receives GPS signals and demodulates the navigation data modulated onto the GPS signals. The WAG server utilizes known features of the demodulated navigation data to generate estimated navigation data for the satellite. This estimation can be made several seconds or even minutes ahead of time. The wireless terminal uses this estimated navigation data to perform a data wipe-off operation to enable the integration interval to be increased (e.g., beyond 20 ms), thereby increasing overall signal-detection sensitivity at the wireless terminal. In another embodiment, information from strong GPS signals is used to detect weak GPS signals from other satellites. In this embodiment, strong GPS signals are received directly by the wireless terminal from the satellites. After strong GPS signals have been detected, the strong GPS signals are demodulated to compute satellite ephemerides including navigation data. The demodulated navigation data is then matched with known features of the navigation data to estimate the navigation data for weak GPS signals. The estimated navigation data is then used to increase the integration interval for weak GPS signals so that weak GPS signals can also be detected at the wireless terminal.
