Abstract

A GPS communication system including a server and a client, each including a GPS receiver, for reducing the code phase search space of the GPS receiver of the client. The communication system includes a transmitter for transmitting timing information from the server to the client to help the client locate a first satellite, and a receiver for using timing differences between the satellites to synchronize and locate other satellites. The code phase search space is reduced by reducing the number of phase hypotheses that must be calculated to establish communication between the server and the client.

Description

Reduce the method and apparatus of encoding phase search volume
Background of invention
(1) invention field
The present invention relates to the minimizing of the encoding phase search volume of receiver in the distributed system.
(2) description of Related Art
Global position system comprises the orbiter (being also referred to as spacecraft or " SVs ") of one group of broadcast singal, and receiver can be determined its position according to these signals.Two such systems are NAVSTAR gps system of quoting here (as describing in " GPS; SPS signal standard; second edition; publish June 2 nineteen ninety-five; U.S. seashore defence navigation center; Alexandria, VA ") and the global orbital navigation system (GLONASS) that is kept by Russian republic.In order to determine its three-dimensional position in such positioning system, receiver must at first be caught the signal of four SV.The initial acquisition of each SV signal normally calculating strength is big and may need nearly a few minutes.
In order to catch a gps signal, receiver must be from the phase place of the frequency of motion tracking carrier signal and the coding of modulating on carrier wave.Because SV is with respect to the Doppler shift of the motion and the generation of receiver, the frequency of the carrier wave that receives may change.Inaccuracy in the local oscillator of receiver can cause extra frequency error.Therefore, need receiver search signal in the certain frequency scope from the motion tracking carrier wave.
Each SV sends a signal of being expanded by the direct sequence spread spectrum modulation.Especially, each SV sends digital pseudorandom (or " pseudo noise ") yard signal of expanding of being caught (CA) by known being called slightly.The spreading rate of this periodic code is 1.023MHz and repeats once (that is, every megasecond once) every 1023 code elements.The signal that receiver receives can be the composite signal that some SV send.
Determine to have received the encoding phase of SV signal by the location of pre-position in the CA sign indicating number of signal.Because this CA sign indicating number is periodic, as shown in Figure 1, may the locating of precalculated position (that is, possible encoding phase) can show as the point along circumference.Each position (for example is correlated with on definite needs search circumference of the encoding phase of received signal, between receiver output and coded sequence based on specific CA coding) in coding is positioned at the signal that has received (indicated when for example, occurring) as correlation peak.
Because the nominal carrier frequency of gps signal is 1.575GHz, so holding signal is difficult synchronously under such as the covering of indoor, Che Nei and/or tree.When portable GPS receiver loss signal is synchronous, when attempting to catch this signal again, receiver will suffer the termination of inconvenience of station-keeping ability and the consumption of computational resource.Because it is quite slow that frequency shift (FS) changes, rebuild Frequency Synchronization and only need limited effort so have no progeny between of short duration at one.Yet the encoding phase of received signal changes faster, and is necessary the signal that search is lost on whole 1023 code element encoding phase circumference.For once requiring the accurate locating information must operational application, such delay may not be accepted.Certainly, it equally also is favourable avoiding long delay during initial acquisition.
Expand certain wireless system by the ability that increases the position of locating specific mobile unit and conform with demand to be used for mobile communication.The rule (report for the third time and rule that distribution on October 6th, 1999, on September 15th, 1999 are adopted, recording mechanism 94-102) that reason is the federal communications commission promulgation.This rule needs all honeycomb substrates of the U.S. can be positioned at position in 50 meters (and to 95% calling in 150 meters) to the cell phone of making 911 67% the callings of calling out before October calendar year 2001.Other application of station-keeping ability comprises the value-added user characteristics as navigation and fleet management's support in the wireless communication system.
A kind of selection that location fixes is added such communication system is that the GPS receiving ability is added mobile unit.Yet such method can suffer to keep in many zones that mobile unit usually is suitable for the difficulty of gps signal reliable reception, for example, and in the indoor and car.On the other hand, the base station in such system is generally arranged well according to satellite visibility, and movement station can be assisted by gathering the information (comprising encoding phase) on the SV signal and it being forwarded to movement station in the base station.
In the CDMA systems of radio communication, the operation of movement station and base station comes synchronous (see figure 1) with public time reference.Because this characteristic, base station can send the significant encoding phase information with respect to this time reference of movement station.Because the position difference of base station and movement station, and because the inaccuracy in the local oscillator of mobile unit, the encoding phase of the gps signal that the encoding phase information that is sent by the base station may receive with mobile unit conforms to with being inaccurate.Yet this process can reduce the size (for example, from 1023 code elements to 30 code elements only) of encoding phase search benchmark widely.
Yet, in the simulation system of the radio communication as advanced mobile phone service (AMPS) system that is widely used in the U.S., do not have such time reference between movement station and base station.In fact, the operation at two kinds of stations even can not be by synchronously within one millisecond (that is, traveling through the time of whole encoding phase circumference).Therefore, there is not the system reference point (see figure 2) that can send useful encoding phase information about the base station.Therefore, in an AMPS system by movement station support GPS station-keeping ability, satellite is synchronous catch arbitrarily and catch again all needs to search for whole encoding phase circumference.In such distributed system, reduce the encoding phase search volume and conform with demand.
General introduction
In the CDMA receiver as the GPS receiver, reduce system, the method and apparatus of encoding phase search volume.Obtain this minimizing by the information that applies about the time relationship between two received signals.If the encoding phase of first signal is known, this time relationship provides the ability of the encoding phase that can learn second signal.Because searcher can directly turn to the encoding phase of expectation, can reduce the search volume so know the encoding phase of second signal.
