CLOUD OFFLOADED DEVICE ACQUISITION GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEMS

摘要

Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, devices, and machine readable mediums which utilize a new GNSS processing method called cloud-offloaded, device-acquisition GPS (CODA-GPS). Rather than offloading both the acquisition and localization processes as was done with CO-GPS, the computing device performs satellite acquisition itself and sends the acquisition data to the cloud for localization. Also disclosed in some examples, are methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums which provide for reduced acquisition calculations for devices. The reduced acquisition time is achieved through visible satellite prediction techniques that allows for searching only a limited set of satellites.
