Abstract:
Apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed relating to a position determination system for a motor vehicle for ascertaining whether the motor vehicle is located in an area covered by a ceiling element of a structure, comprising: a receiver unit, which is designed to receive navigation signals of a plurality of satellites of one or more global navigation satellite systems and to detect a change in signal strength, over time, of the respective navigation signals. An evaluation unit ascertains lines of sight from the motor vehicle to the respective satellites from which navigation signals were received, evaluates the change in signal strength, over time, of the respective navigation signals relative to the respective ascertained line of sight, and ascertains that the motor vehicle is entering the covered area by correlating a driving motion of the motor vehicle with the respective lines of sight.

Claim (Index 11):
A position determination system for a motor vehicle for ascertaining whether the motor vehicle is located in a covered area of a structure, comprising:\n a receiver unit, configured to:\n receive navigation signals of a plurality of satellites of a global navigation satellite system; and \n detect a change in signal strength, over time, of the received navigation signals; and \n an evaluation unit, configured to:\n ascertain respective lines of sight from the motor vehicle to each of the plurality of satellites based on respective received navigation signals; \n evaluate the change in the signal strength, over time, of the respective received navigation signals relative to each of the respective ascertained lines of sight; and \n ascertain that the motor vehicle is entering the covered area by correlating a driving motion of the motor vehicle with the respective ascertained lines of sight, wherein the evaluation unit is further configured to:\n assign each of the plurality of satellites from which the respective navigation signals are received to a respective zone of a first zone, a second zone, or a third zone, as a function of the respective ascertained lines of sight; and \n identify an entrance into the structure when initially the signal strength of the respective received navigation signals of the plurality of satellites assigned to the first zone decreases and, over a further course, the signal strength of the respective received navigation signals of the plurality of satellites assigned to the second zone decreases.
