20120173140 | INERTIAL SENSOR AIDED HEADING AND POSITIONING FOR GNSS VEHICLE NAVIGATION - An apparatus and method for providing an improved heading estimate of a mobile device in a vehicle is presented. First, the mobile device determines if it is mounted in a cradle attached to the vehicle; if so, inertia sensor data may be valid. While in a mounted stated, the mobile device determines whether it has been rotated in the cradle; if so, inertia sensor data may no longer be reliable and a recalibration to determine a new relative orientation between the vehicle and the mobile device is needed. If the mobile device is mounted and not recently rotated, heading data from multiple sensors (e.g., GPS, gyroscope, accelerometer) may be computed and combined to form the improved heading estimate. This improved heading estimate may be used to form an improved velocity estimate. The improved heading estimate may also be used to compute a bias to correct a gyroscope. | 07-05-2012 |

20130285856 | Position and Uncertainty Determination Using Staggered Reception of Position Reference Signals - Arrangements are detailed herein for determining a position and/or uncertainty of position of a mobile device. A plurality of positioning reference signals (PRSs) may be received by a mobile device. The plurality of PRSs may be transmitted at different times, separated by a predefined time interval, by multiple eNBs of a mobile network. Time of arrival values in relation to a received PRS that is used as a reference PRS may be determined. The time of arrival values for at least the subset of the received plurality of PRSs may be projected to the occasion of the reference PRS using the predefined time interval to create a set of projected time of arrival values. | 10-31-2013 |
