Original Abstract Submitted
Devices, systems, methods, and processes for accurately determining a location of a device are described herein. The device may receive Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data from two satellites in two time periods. The device can determine two pseudo range differences corresponding to the two satellites. The device may further determine two contours based on the two pseudo range differences. An overlap between the two contours may be utilized by the device to determine the location. The device can also determine the location of the device based on a contour and an estimated location. The device may utilize a Global Positioning System (GPS) database, an Access Points (AP) database, or one or more servers to retrieve the estimated location. The device can further configure an operating frequency and an output power based on the location in real-time.
