    Abstract: Position determination accuracy of a wireless communication device may be negatively affected by a large unaccounted GPS doppler bias, which in turn may affect GPS doppler estimations and GPS doppler measurements conducted by the wireless communication device. The quality of GPS doppler measurements is very important for position location, because poor quality GPS doppler measurements may prevent the wireless communication device from acquiring satellites in the most sensitive modes with narrow frequency ranges, which results in reduced GPS pseudorange measurement yield. Large unaccounted GPS doppler bias also adversely affects position accuracy because of the adverse effect on the GPS code phase measurements time propagation to common time prior to their use in position location calculation. The same is true in the case of unaccounted CDMA code doppler, through the adverse effect on the AFLT code phase measurements time propagation to common time prior to their use in a position location engine. This effect is the biggest concern in the case of large search windows. Therefore, the present disclosure provides a method of optimizing GPS based position location in the presence of time-varying frequency error, including the steps of continuously measuring and/or calculating resulting GPS doppler bias and CDMA code doppler bias and then minimizing their adverse effects with regard to position location determination by re-centering GPS doppler search windows based on the GPS doppler bias value, as well as using GPS doppler bias and CDMA code doppler bias value to properly propagate GPS pseudorange and AFLT pilot phase measurements, respectively, to common time prior to their use in a position location engine.

    Abstract: Un procedimiento (400) para determinar una solución de navegación que comprende: obtener información del sistema de navegación inercial, INS, a partir de uno o más orígenes en una primera época; almacenar (420) dicha información del INS obtenida en la primera época, en la que la información del INS almacenada no es suficiente para calcular una solución de navegación; y obtener (440) en una segunda época posterior a la primera época una segunda parte de información, que permite determinar una ubicación de inicio donde se tomó la información del INS almacenada, comprendiendo la segunda parte de información información de posición de uno o más orígenes de los sistemas de localización por satélite, SPS, en el que la obtención (440) es en respuesta a un entorno de señal cambiado y/o a una vista cambiada al uno o más orígenes; correlacionar la ubicación de inicio con un tiempo registrado en el cual se tomaron las mediciones del INS; y extrapolar una posición usando el tiempo registrado y dicha ubicación de inicio donde se tomó dicha información del INS, en base, al menos en parte, a la información del INS almacenada.

    Abstract: A method of and system for searching for position determination signals using a plurality of progressively more sensitive search modes comprising a first level mode, a second mode, and at least one higher level mode. If any of the search window parameters exceed prescribed limits, a first level search is performed, and the search window parameters are refined responsive to the ensuing search results so they are within the prescribed limits. Then, the second level search is performed, and measurements derived from the ensuing search results. If the measurements satisfy selected measurement sufficiency criteria, additional searching within the position fix attempt is avoided. If the measurements do not satisfy the selected measurement sufficiency criteria, a higher level, more sensitive search is performed.
