Abstract: Techniques de navigation GPS utilisées pour déterminer la position et la vitesse d'un objet en déplacement. Des mesures de suites aléatoires (PR) et de suites de deltas accumulés ADR sont réalisées au niveau de l'objet à partir de signaux GPS reçus. Les différences sont calculées entre les mesures ADR séparées par un intervalle temporel supérieur à l'intervalle temporel entre les mesures ADR ultérieures. Les paramètres de navigation (p.ex. la position, la vitesse et l'horloge) sont estimés à partir des mesures PR et les différences ADR. Les équations de mesures ADR définies sont formulées de manière nettement plus précise afin que l'intervalle temporel entre les mesures ADR utilisé pour calculer une différence ADR soit nettement supérieur à l'intervalle utilisé pour les techniques de différenciation ADR actuelles dans les applications de navigation par GPS. En conséquence, les différences ADR sont plus précises, d'où une solution de navigation nettement plus précise. Par ailleurs, la technique de différenciation ADR contribue à réduire les durées de convergence du traitement par filtre de Kalman, améliorant ainsi la précision de la navigation d'un engin spatial. Techniques permettant d'appliquer ces algorithmes de traitement ADR très précis à une navigation intégrée par GPS/IMU, les données IMU servant de modèle de propagation précis afin de propager le vecteur d'état.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for converting FFE (72) and FBE (76) coefficients from a DOCSIS compatible cable modem termination system upstream equalizer into FFE  only coefficients to be sent down to the cable modem which transmitted the training burst which resulted in convergence on the FFE and FBE coefficients.  The method involves programming an FBE like conversion structure comprised of an FFE filter and an FBE filter whose outputs are summed (70) with the FFE and FBE coefficients from the CMTS equalizer. The FFE coefficients are stored in the FFE filter of the conversion structure. The FBE coefficients are stored in an FBE filter of the conversion structure. Then, an input vector which simulates the Dirac function (an impulse) is input to the conversion structure to derive coefficients at its output (86) which define the impulse response and transfer function of the conversion structure. These coefficients are the FFE only coefficients which may be used to select a subset of 24 for sending to the cable modem.
