DYNAMIC ADJUSTMENT OF COHERENT SIGNAL INTEGRATION FOR PROCESSING GLOBAL NAVIGATION SIGNALS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17882422 titled 'DYNAMIC ADJUSTMENT OF COHERENT SIGNAL INTEGRATION FOR PROCESSING GLOBAL NAVIGATION SIGNALS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system where user equipment receives a GNSS signal from a satellite and also collects data from a motion sensor and a temperature sensor. The user equipment then performs coherent and non-coherent operations on the received signal and the collected data to generate a resulting signal, which is used to determine the position of the user equipment.

  • The user equipment receives a GNSS signal from a satellite.
  • The user equipment collects data from a motion sensor and a temperature sensor.
  • The user equipment performs a coherent operation based on the pilot channel of the GNSS signal over a coherent period of time using the collected data.
  • The user equipment generates a resulting signal based on the coherent operation.
  • The user equipment performs a non-coherent operation on the resulting signal to amplify it.
  • The user equipment outputs the position of the user equipment based on the resulting signal.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Navigation systems: The technology can be used in navigation devices to accurately determine the position of the user equipment.
  • Tracking devices: It can be used in tracking devices to track the movement of objects or individuals.
  • Wearable devices: The technology can be integrated into wearable devices to provide location-based services or fitness tracking.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Improved accuracy: By incorporating data from motion and temperature sensors, the system can enhance the accuracy of the position determination.
  • Signal amplification: The non-coherent operation helps amplify the resulting signal, improving the overall performance of the system.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced positioning accuracy: By utilizing data from motion and temperature sensors, the system can provide more accurate positioning information.
  • Improved signal strength: The non-coherent operation helps amplify the resulting signal, leading to better performance in challenging signal environments.
  • Versatile applications: The technology can be applied in various industries, including navigation, tracking, and wearable devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

User equipment receives a GNSS signal that includes a GNSS signal from a satellite. The user equipment also receives a first data input from a motion sensor of the user equipment that is indicative of a motion of the user equipment, receives a second data input from the temperature sensor of the user equipment that is indicative of a temperature of the user equipment, and performs a coherent operation based on the pilot channel of the GNSS signal over a coherent period of time based on the first data input and the second data input to generate a resulting signal. The user equipment performs a non-coherent operation based on the resulting signal to amplify the resulting signal, and outputs a position of the user equipment based on the resulting signal.
