Appl. No.:

11/605093

Inventors:

Ming Cheng - East Brunswick NJ, US

International Classification:

G01S 5/14

US Classification:

342357150, 342357090

Abstract:

The invention relates to global positioning system (GPS) assistance data, and in particular, an embodiment in which a method of compressing GPS assistance data reduces the time to transmit data and also reduce time to calculate a location for a mobile device, such as a wireless telecommunications device. The method is especially-well suited for satellites have similar Almanac and/or Navigation Model information elements. The time for a Serving Mobile Location Centre (SMLC) to transmit the compressed assistance data to the mobile device is thus reduced. This eventually reduces the total time for a mobile device to calculate its location based on the assistance data information. Hence the time to first fix (TTFF) which is the time to calculate the first “fix” (also known as the first calculated location) is reduced.

Inventors:

Ming Cheng - East Brunswick NJ, US

International Classification:

G01S 3/02

US Classification:

34235706, 342451, 342457, 345418, 704231

Abstract:

A device is provided, which uses a positioning system, to determine a first geographic location, while the device is located at the first geographic location. Information concerning the first geographic location may be stored in a computer memory. The device may be moved from the first geographic location to a second geographic location which is substantially different from the first geographic location. The device may be used to determine the second geographic location, while the device is located at the second geographic location. Information concerning the second geographic location may be stored in a computer memory. Directions from the second geographic location to the first geographic location may be provided by the device to a user. The directions may be displayed on a computer monitor or provided orally by use of a voice system.
