Abstract:
An apparatus and method for cross-correlation spur mitigation comprising choosing from a plurality of peak measurements, a first peak measurement with a first carrier-to-noise density estimate and a first Doppler offset measurement, and a second peak measurement with a second carrier-to-noise density estimate and a second Doppler offset measurement to form a pair; calculating a carrier-to-noise density difference based on the first carrier-to-noise density estimate and the second carrier-to-noise density estimate; calculating a Doppler difference based on the first Doppler offset measurement and the second Doppler offset measurement; comparing the carrier-to-noise density difference to a carrier-to-noise density threshold; and comparing the Doppler difference to at least one Doppler threshold.
Abstract:
A wireless device includes a first circuit to transmit wireless Wi-Fi and/ or Bluetooth signals, a second circuit to receive satellite signals, a third circuit to transmit cellular signals and a processor. The processor is adapted to selectively adjust a transmission rate of the wireless signals in response to a comparison between a first priority value assigned to the wireless Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth signals and a second priority value assigned to the satellite signals. The processor may also monitor one or more operational parameters associated with the wireless Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth signals, and in response thereto dynamically adjust one or both of the first and second priority values.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses in a receiver and/or other like device to determine an SPS time using SPS signals based on a correlation process. A verification process may be performed, for example, that verifies a maximum peak in comparison with other peak information resulting from the correlation process, for example, by considering a ratio of a maximum peak to a next maximum peak. A time-setting algorithm may be selected, for example, based, at least in part, on a time uncertainty and/or on a type of demodulation performed on the SPS signal. The time-setting algorithm may operatively control one or both of the correlation and/verification processes in a desired manner given the time uncertainty and/or type/mode of demodulation performed.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses in a receiver of an electronic device to allow for a received signal to be demodulated using both coherent and non-coherent demodulation techniques and for selecting one of the demodulated data signals based, at least in part, on a drift rate measurement of a carrier frequency of the received signal.

Abstract:
The subject matter disclosed herein relates to receiving one or more SPS signals at two or more physically separated antennae. In an aspect, signals from the physically separated antennae may be downconverted into complex digital signals that may undergo further processing to improve one or more performance metrics related to position estimation operations, for example.

Abstract:
A method according to an embodiment obtains a list of peaks for each of a number of frequency hypotheses. Each peak has an energy result and corresponds to a code phase hypothesis. Embodiments include methods and apparatus that may be used in identifying a location of a signal (such as a GPS signal) in a two-dimensional search space. Location information may be further applied to operations such as signal acquisition, signal tracking, position location of a receiver, and timing operations such as the synchronization of one or more other processes.
