Abstract

See full text

Aspects of a method and system for keeping a device for satellite navigation in a state that enables rapid signal acquisition are provided. The device may acquire broadcast ephemeris from one or more satellite signals during a data refresh operation. The satellite signals may comprise a GPS signal, a GLONASS signal, a GALILEO signal, or a combination thereof. The device may compute extended or future ephemeris from the acquired broadcast ephemeris during the data refresh operation. In a positioning operation that is subsequent to the data refresh operation, the device may determine satellite navigation information from the computed extended ephemeris. In some instances, a time associated with a schedule of the data refresh operation may be adjusted based on the computed extended ephemeris. The extended ephemeris may be computed by integrating current and/or historic broadcast ephemeris into an orbit model.
