However, those particular memories employed can be different subsets for when decoding each LDPC coded signal. In embodiments where each LDPC code includes a different number of non-null sub-matrices within its respective LDPC matrix, then a different number of memories are employed when decoding each LDPC coded signal. Various degrees of parallelism in decoding can also be employed in which different numbers of bit engines and check engines can be employed when decoding different LDPC coded signals. | 01-08-2009 |

The estimated cell center location may be used to approximate the location of the mobile station during a warm or cold restart of the SPS receiver part of the mobile station. | 08-21-2008 |
20080246653 | GPS NAVIGATION USING INTERACTING MULTIPLE MODEL (IMM) ESTIMATOR AND PROBABILISTIC DATA ASSOCIATION FILTER (PDAF) - A method for GPS navigation which uses an interacting multiple-model (IMM) estimator with a probabilistic data association filter (PDAF) improves navigation performance. The method includes (a) providing two or more models of GPS navigation, with each model characterized by a model state vector which is updated periodically, (b) providing for each model a corresponding filter for deriving, for each period, a current value for the corresponding model state vector based on current measurements made on parameters affecting the corresponding state vector; and (c) applying an interacting multiple model (IMM) estimator to provide, for each period, a current value for a system state vector using the current values of the model state vectors for that period and their corresponding filters. Each model state vector may include one or more of the following: variables: 3-dimensional position, 3-dimensional velocity, satellite clock bias, satellite clock drifts and one or more other satellite parameters. The current value of the system state vector may be a weighted average of the current values of the model state vectors, where the weights are a set of mode probabilities. In addition, one or more of the filters is a probabilitic data association filter (PDAF). | 10-09-2008 |

This algorithm can be independent of navigation state and is capable of detecting slow-changing errors. | 05-21-2009 |
20130321202 | Methods and Apparatuses for Multipath Estimation and Correction in GNSS Navigation Systems - The present invention relates generally to methods and apparatuses for estimating and correcting for multipath in GNSS navigation systems. According to some aspects, the invention takes advantage of situations where position and estimated position error are reasonably stable so as to detect when large multipath errors are present with confidence. After detection, the slowly varying biases from multipath or other un-modeled sources can be modeled separately from the navigation state. This makes it possible to keep the measurements in the solution without biasing the navigation state and further ignores the long-term biases for use over short-term periods with minimized pseudorange error when necessary. | 12-05-2013 |

20090009269 | Resonator System Such As A Microresonator System And Method Of Making Same - A resonator system such as a microresonator system and a method of making same are provided. In at least one embodiment, a mechanical circuit-based approach for boosting the Q of a vibrating micromechanical resonator is disclosed. A low Q resonator is embedded into a mechanically-coupled array of much higher Q resonators to raise the functional Q of the composite resonator by a factor approximately equal to the number of resonators in the array. The availability of such a circuit-based Q-enhancement technique has far reaching implications, especially considering the possibility of raising the functional Q of a piezoelectric resonator by merely mechanically coupling it to an array of much higher Q capacitively-transduced ones to simultaneously obtain the most attractive characteristics of both technologies: low impedance from the piezo-device and high-Q from the capacitive ones. Furthermore, the manufacturing repeatability of such micromechanical resonator-based products is enhanced. | 01-08-2009 |
