Abstract

See full text

A mobile tracking device is provided that monitors or measures one or more signals from GPS satellites and remote wireless base stations during a GPS acquisition process and a registration process, and terminates the process(es) prior to reaching a default timeout when the signals do not meet a predetermined threshold or value. Instead of continuing the acquisition and/or registration process for the full timeout period when the received signals (if any) indicate there is a low probability of successfully completing the particular process, the tracking device early terminates the process(es). This saves or reduces power by preventing the continued operation of the particular process when it is likely to be unsuccessful.
