| 20090215419 | SEQUENTIAL TRACKING AND OFFLINE DEMODULATION IN RECEIVER - An apparatus and method for tracking a desired signal by sequentially tracking the desired signal with a variable integration time, performing automatic frequency control of the desired signal, and demodulating the desired signal using offline software. In one aspect, the automatic frequency control is performed using the offline software. In one aspect, the desired signal is from a GPS satellite. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090295631 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CROSS-CORRELATION SPUR MITIGATION - 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. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090318167 | LOCATION SPECIFIC SEARCH FOR REGIONAL SATELLITE VEHICLES - A position location system, method, and apparatus are disclosed. A wireless device receives a first signal and obtains an identifier indicative of a first location from the first signal. The first signal can be received from a cellular base station and the first identifier can be a mobile country code. The wireless device uses the identifier to determine the availability of signals from a regional satellite system at the first location. If signals from the regional satellite system are available at the first location, the wireless device retrieves information associated with one or more satellite vehicles in the regional satellite system. The information can include pseudo-random number codes and a Doppler search range corresponding to the first location. The wireless device receives a second signal and processes the second signal to obtain first satellite signal information. The wireless device determines its position at least partially based on the first satellite signal information. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20090322605 | Methods And Apparatuses For Use With Mode-Switchable Navigation Radio - Methods and apparatuses are provided for use with mode switchable navigation radios and the like. The methods and apparatuses may be implemented to selectively switch between certain operating modes based, at least in part, a mode-switching test that takes into consideration one or more non-timed test conditions to determine if mode-switching may be enabled. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100141470 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR REFRESHING DATA - A method performs an update for a first device that consumes information with a known expiration time. The first device operates within a network that accommodates other devices also consuming the information. The method includes setting a time for the first device to refresh the information, the time to refresh being based on a pseudorandom time offset. The method also includes sending a refresh request to a resource for the data during the set time. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100246644 | SYSTEMS, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS, AND METHODS USING CARRIER PHASES TO DETECT MULTIPATH SIGNALS - A multipath detector includes an RF module receiving multiple signals, and a correlator module receiving the signals from the RF module. The correlator module correlates the signals to create a composite ACF, and produces samples of the composite autocorrelation function (ACF). The samples are time delayed relative to each other. The multipath detector also includes a carrier phase processor that receives the samples and estimates carrier phases associated with each of the samples. The carrier phase processor employs the estimated carrier phases to determine if one of the signals is subject to a multipath delay. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100309044 | On Demand Positioning - The subject matter disclosed herein relates to determining a location of a mobile device using more than one location-determining technology. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20110001666 | CARRIER PHASE PROCESSING IN DISCONTINUOUS SATELLITE POSITIONING SYSTEM TRACKING - Disclosed is an apparatus, system and method for location determination following a search discontinuity utilizing early sampling of a satellite positioning system signal to determine a common code phase offset, pseudorange rate and mode of location calculation. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110050496 | Energy Domain Based Peak Reconstruction Methods And Apparatuses - Methods and apparatus are provided for use in devices enabled to perform waveform correlation processing of satellite positioning system (SPS) signals, including peak reconstruction. | 03-03-2011 |
