ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for computing position using instantaneous Doppler measurements from satellites is described. In one example, instantaneous Doppler measurements are measured for a plurality of satellite signals relative to a satellite signal receiver. The instantaneous Doppler measurements are transmitted to a server. Position of the satellite signal receiver is computed at the server using the instantaneous Doppler measurements. In another example, at least one fractional pseudorange is measured between the satellite signal receiver and a respective at least one satellite. At least one instantaneous Doppler measurement is measured for a respective at least one satellite signal relative to the satellite signal receiver. The at least one pseudorange and the at least one instantaneous Doppler measurement are sent to a server. Position of the satellite signal receiver is computed at the server using the at least one pseudorange and the at least one instantaneous Doppler measurement.
