Abstract

See full text

A system (20) and method (30) for estimating the location of a terrestrial-based user terminal (23) is provided. The user terminal (23) is capable of measuring the relative signal strengths of a plurality of spot beams pilot signal emitted from a geostationary satellite (22). The user terminal (23) then estimates its position based on the measured relative signal strengths. Using this approach, the user terminal (23) can quickly determine its location without prior knowledge of its position or delay time.
