ABSTRACT:
Apparatuses and methods for implementing the GPS positioning functionalities in devices that are capable of communicating using IP packets are disclosed. The aiding-information-enhanced GPS positioning (IAIE-GPSP) technique is decoupled from the specific requirements of specific telecommunication networks and protocols (such as CDMA). By decoupling the IAIE-GPSP capability from specific telecommunication network/protocol requirements, embodiments of the invention enable any type of device, irrespective whether a voice communication capability is present, to be endowed with GPS positioning functionalities and to enjoy the rapid GPS position fix facilitated by the aiding information.
