    1–2 Excellent At this confidence level, positional measurements are considered accurate enough to meet all but the most sensitive applications. 2–5 Good Represents a level that marks the minimum appropriate for making accurate decisions. Positional measurements could be used to make reliable in-route navigation suggestions to the user. 5–10

  3. Satellite navigation solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_navigation_solution

    Satellite navigation solution for the receiver's position (geopositioning) involves an algorithm.In essence, a GNSS receiver measures the transmitting time of GNSS signals emitted from four or more GNSS satellites (giving the pseudorange) and these measurements are used to obtain its position (i.e., spatial coordinates) and reception time.

    B is the output of the second LFSR whose generator polynomial is x → x 10 + x 9 + x 8 + x 6 + x 3 + x 2 + 1 and initial state is also 1111111111 2. D i is a delay (by an integer number of periods) specific to each PRN number i; it is designated in the GPS interface specification. [4] ⊕ is exclusive or.

  5. Pseudo-range multilateration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-range_multilateration

    Pseudo-range multilateration, often simply multilateration (MLAT) when in context, is a technique for determining the position of an unknown point, such as a vehicle, based on measurement of biased times of flight (TOFs) of energy waves traveling between the vehicle and multiple stations at known locations.

    For very precise positioning (e.g., in geodesy), these effects can be eliminated by differential GPS: the simultaneous use of two or more receivers at several survey points. In the 1990s when receivers were quite expensive, some methods of quasi-differential GPS were developed, using only one receiver but

  7. GPS/INS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS/INS

    GPS/INS is commonly used on aircraft for navigation purposes. Using GPS/INS allows for smoother position and velocity estimates that can be provided at a sampling rate faster than the GPS receiver. This also allows for accurate estimation of the aircraft attitude (roll, pitch, and yaw) [citation needed] angles.

  8. Dead reckoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_reckoning

    In a simple implementation, the user holds their phone in front of them and each step causes position to move forward a fixed distance in the direction measured by the compass. Accuracy is limited by the sensor precision, magnetic disturbances inside structures, and unknown variables such as carrying position and stride length.

  9. Gold code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_code

    A set of Gold code sequences consists of 2 n + 1 sequences each one with a period of 2 n − 1. A set of Gold codes can be generated with the following steps. Pick two maximum length sequences of the same length 2 n − 1 such that their absolute cross-correlation is less than or equal to 2 ( n +2)/2 , where n is the size of the linear-feedback ...
