GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEM (GNSS) SIGNAL OUTPUT SYSTEM SUPPORTING GNSS SHADED AREAS
A global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signal output system is proposed. The system may include a signal generating apparatus configured to receive GNSS navigation information and generate, based on the GNSS navigation information, a pseudo GNSS signal corresponding to a current time and a current location. The system may also include a plurality of leakage cables including a plurality of signal leakage slots. The system may further include a plurality of signal output apparatuses configured to receive the pseudo GNSS signal from the signal generating apparatus and output the pseudo GNSS signal to at least one of the plurality of leakage cables. The plurality of signal output apparatuses may be arranged apart from each other.
Obtaining pseudorange information using a cellular device
The cellular device accesses a GPS/GNSS chipset embedded within the cellular device. The GPS/GNSS chipset calculates pseudorange information for use by the GPS/GNSS chipset. The cellular device extracts the pseudorange information from the GPS/GNSS chipset for use elsewhere in the cellular device outside of the GPS/GNSS chipset.

Real-time locating system using GPS time difference of arrival with digital off-air access units and remote units
A real-time locating system (RTLS) for localization using satellite navigation signals in a Distributed Antenna System includes Off-Air Access Units (OAAUs), each being operable to receive an individual satellite navigation signal from a satellite and to route signals optically to a digital access unit (DAU). Remote digital remote units (DRUs) are located at Remote locations and are operable to receive signals the DAUs. Each individual satellite navigation signal can be appropriately delayed (in a manner that accounts for a DRU's location). For each antenna, a separation distance between a mobile station and a DRU can be estimated based on a signal receipt time at the station. In combination, these distances can be used to estimate the mobile station's precise indoor position.
