Abstract: The present invention relates to terrain navigation wherein an earth-reflected satellite signal is received from at least one reference signal source whose position is known (120), for example a navigation satellite. Based on information contained in the received signal a measured estimate of a shortest reflection distance (d1(tb)) to the satellite (120) is derived. A relative spatial movement ( DELTA x,  DELTA y,  DELTA h) of a relevant craft (110) since a previous positioning instance (ta) is registered onboard the craft (110). Moreover, stored surface information is retrieved pertaining to an elevation (h1b) of the earth surface (130) in relation to the mean sea level (z0) at at least one geographical position (x1b, y1b). Based on the relative spatial movement ( DELTA x,  DELTA y,  DELTA h) and the retrieved surface information at least one calculated estimate of the shortest reflection distance (d1(tb)) to the satellite (120) is derived. Finally, a geographical position (x1a, y1a, h1a) is determined on basis of the measured and calculated estimates of the shortest reflection distance (d1(tb)). Thus, a highly reliable and entirely passive positioning may be accomplished on basis of external signals from as few satellites (120) as one. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A real-time multi-user detection (MUD) receiver processing simultaneous digitally modulated interferers and transmissions in the same frequency optimizing performance for heavily loaded and overloaded multiple access systems by implementing an iterative TurboMUD receiver using tree-pruning, including confidence ordering, power-ordering, and a voting procedure. On the first iteration, user indices are ordered according to received powers. On subsequent iterations, the voting system provides soft decisions or confidence values utilized as soft inputs to single-user decoders. Voting is computationally attractive and allows the bank of decoders to operate on soft values, improving performance and reducing the number of turboMUD iterations. The bank of soft output error correction decoders produces an improved set of soft decisions or confidence values corresponding to the channel bits transmitted by each interfering user. Confidence values from the bank of decoders are used to order user indices, allowing the tree pruned MUD detector to operate on the most reliable symbols first, improving the likelihood that pruning is correct. Subsequent confidence ordering and estimate refinement occurs until conditions are satisfied and iterative processing completed.
