Title: Position determination using carrier phase measurements of satellite signals
Inventor: ZINOVIEV ALEXEY
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2006-06-30
Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for determining the relative position of a mobile unit that moves from an initial location to a plurality of successive positions. The mobile unit receives signals from a plurality of navigation satellites and tracks the carrier phases of the signals during movement. For each of the received signals, carrier phase increments are calculated over a plurality of epochs. Anomalous carrier phase increments are determined and eliminated from further calculations. The non-eliminated carrier phase increments are then used to calculate coordinate increments for each of the time epochs. If, after elimination, the remaining number of carrier-phase increments is less than a threshold for a particular epoch, then coordinate increments for the particular epoch may be extrapolated using data from prior epochs. In various embodiments, least squares method and Kalman filtering may be used to calculate the coordinate increments. The coordinate increments may then be summed over a plurality of time epochs in order to determine a position of the mobile unit relative to its initial position.
