  2. GPS signals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_signals

    GPS encodes this information into the navigation message and modulates it onto both the C/A and P(Y) ranging codes at 50 bit/s. The navigation message format described in this section is called LNAV data (for legacy navigation). The navigation message conveys information of three types: The GPS date and time, and the satellite's status.

  3. True-range multilateration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True-range_multilateration

    However, GPS receiver clock aiding is an area of active research, including aiding over a network. Thus, conclusions may change. [ 13 ] 3-D true-range multilateration was evaluated by the International Civil Aviation Organization as an aircraft landing system, but another technique was found to be more efficient. [ 14 ]

  4. Mobile phone tracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_tracking

    An indoor location tracking map on a mobile phone. Mobile phone tracking is a process for identifying the location of a mobile phone, whether stationary or moving. . Localization may be affected by a number of technologies, such as the multilateration of radio signals between (several) cell towers of the network and the phone or by simply

  5. Triangulation (social science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulation_(social_science)

    In the social sciences, triangulation refers to the application and combination of several research methods in the study of the same phenomenon. [1] By combining multiple observers, theories, methods, and empirical materials, researchers hope to overcome the weakness or intrinsic biases and the problems that come from single method, single-observer, and single-theory studies.

  6. Satellite navigation solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_navigation_solution

    Satellite navigation solution for the receiver's position (geopositioning) involves an algorithm.In essence, a GNSS receiver measures the transmitting time of GNSS signals emitted from four or more GNSS satellites (giving the pseudorange) and these measurements are used to obtain its position (i.e., spatial coordinates) and reception time.

  7. GNSS enhancement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNSS_enhancement

    The Global Positioning System (GPS) is the American satellite-based system for positioning and navigation. Receivers on or near the Earth's surface can determine their locations based on signals received from any four or more of the satellites in the network.

  8. Positioning system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positioning_system

    A major subclass is made of geopositioning systems, used for determining an object's position with respect to Earth, i.e., its geographical position; one of the most well-known and commonly used geopositioning systems is the Global Positioning System (GPS) and similar global navigation satellite systems (GNSS).

  9. Error analysis for the Global Positioning System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_analysis_for_the...

    For very precise positioning (e.g., in geodesy), these effects can be eliminated by differential GPS: the simultaneous use of two or more receivers at several survey points. In the 1990s when receivers were quite expensive, some methods of quasi-differential GPS were developed, using only one receiver but
