ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for receiving an estimate of time in a satellite signal receiver receives an estimate of time from a server and compensates for error of a clock in the satellite signal receiver using the estimate of time. The output of the compensated clock is used when computing a position of the satellite signal receiver. The estimate of time is received using a network time protocol (NTP), a simple network time protocol (SNTP), or by one-way broadcast from the server.
