摘要
A system and method for unambiguously determining the position of a user terminal (for example, a mobile wireless telephone) in a low-Earth orbit satellite communications system (100). The system includes a user terminal (106), at least two satellites (104A, 1104B) with known positions and known velocities, and a gateway (102) (that is, a terrestrial base station) for communicating with the user terminal (106) through the satellites (104A, 104B). The method includes the steps of determining a range parameter (1002, 1102, 1202), a range difference parameter (1004, 1104, 1204), and either or both of a range-rate parameter (1106, 1206) and a range-rate difference parameter (1008, 1208). A range parameter represents a distance between one of the satellites (104B, 104B) and the user terminal (106). A range difference parameter represents the difference between (1) the distance between a first one of the satellites (104B, 104B) and the user terminal (106) and (2) the distance between a second one of the satellites (104A, 104B) and the user terminal (106). A range-rate parameter represents a relative radial velocity between one of the satellites (104A, 104B) and the user terminal (106). A range-rate difference parameter represents the difference between (a) a relative radial velocity between a first one of the satellites (104A, 104B) and the user terminal (106) and (b) a relative radial velocity between a second one of the satellites (104A, 104B) and the user terminal (106). The position of the user terminal (106) on the Earth's surface is then determined based on the known positions and known velocities of the satellites (104A, 104B), the range parameter, the range difference parameter, and either or both of the range-rate parameter and the range-rate difference parameter.
