Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-calculating and storing satellite orbit information and clock correction data before positioning is needed. The reference station pre-processes error parameters and prepares correction data in advance, so that when positioning is required, the mobile station can quickly apply these pre-prepared corrections without undergoing lengthy initialization processing, thus reducing initialization time while maintaining accuracy

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The positioning system segments the error correction process into separate components: satellite orbit errors, clock errors, ionospheric delays, and tropospheric delays are handled independently through dedicated correction mechanisms. This segmentation allows the mobile station to apply corrections in a structured manner, reducing the complexity and time of initialization processing while achieving high positioning accuracy

AI summary

A satellite positioning system with a short initialization processing time and a high fix rate in a Real Time Kinematic satellite positioning system. The Real Time Kinematic satellite positioning system has a mobile station of a user and a transmitting station installed on the ground, and performs positioning using Internet satellites flying above the sky. The mobile station, the transmitting station, and a predetermined Internet satellite are connected to each other by an IPsec-VPN. The positioning system obtains an atomic clock time from the GNSS satellite flying above the sky. The transmitting station obtains its own position information from reference point information obtained from a reference station located within 10 km from the transmitting station and orbit information of predetermined Internet satellites.
