Problems solved by technology

The search process can be lengthy, as both the exact frequency of the signal and the time-of-arrival delay are unknown.
As such, the effectiveness of lengthening the coherent integration period is limited by the degree to which the frequency is unknown.

Embodiment Construction

[0017] A method and apparatus for processing satellite positioning system (SPS) signals is described. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention may be used with various types of mobile or wireless devices that are “location-enabled,” such as cellular telephones, pagers, laptop computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and like type wireless devices known in the art. Generally, a location-enabled mobile device is facilitated by including in the device the capability of processing SPS satellite signals.

[0018]FIG. 1 is a block diagram depicting an exemplary embodiment of a position location system 100. The system 100 comprises a remote receiver 102 and a server 108. The remote receiver 102 is configured to receive satellite signals from a plurality of satellites 112 in a constellation of satellites. The remote receiver 102 processes the received signals to produce satellite measurement data (e.g., pseudoranges, range-rate measurements) with respect to the satell...

Abstract

Method and apparatus for processing satellite signals in an SPS receiver is described. In one example, the satellite signals are correlated against pseudorandom reference codes to produce correlation results. A determination is made whether the SPS receiver is in a motion condition or a stationary condition. The correlation results are coherently integrated in accordance with a coherent integration period. The coherent integration period is a value that depends upon the motion condition of the SPS receiver.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention generally relates to satellite position location systems and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for processing satellite signals at a satellite positioning system receiver. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Satellite Positioning System (SPS) receivers use measurements from several satellites to compute position. SPS receivers normally determine their position by computing time delays between transmission and reception of signals transmitted from satellites and received by the receiver on or near the surface of the earth. The time delays multiplied by the speed of light provide the distance from the receiver to each of the satellites that are in view of the receiver. Exemplary satellite positioning systems include the Global Positioning System (GPS), the European GALILEO system, and the Russian GLONASS system. [0005] In GPS, each signal available for commercial use utili...
