Abstract  Abstract

A method of using a satellite positioning system (SPS) to measure information related with the satellite data time of the method and device. In one method the first record in at least one part of receiving satellite data information in one entity the entity is a base station. the second record first record information with the satellite data in the comparison. in the first record and the second record overlap at least part of the time. determining from the comparison a time by the time indicating that the remote entity when receiving the first record (or the source) of the first record of the entity is a mobile SPS receiver. The invention claims the method of the invention also describes various devices of the invention. the method and the device of the invention using SPS signals without reading the satellite data information to the measurement date-time the satellite data information in the signal is transmitted as data. the method and the device of the invention is applied to the received signal level is too weak so that it is not capable of reading the satellite data information.

A method and apparatus for measuring time related to satellite data messages which are used with satellite positioning systems (SPS). In one method a first record of at least a portion of a satellite data message is received at an entity which is typically a basestation. The first record is compared with a second record of the satellite data message where the first record and the second record overlap at least partially in time. Then a time is determined from this comparison and this time indicates when the first record (or the source from which the first record was obtained) was received at a remote entity which is typically a mobile SPS receiver. Various other methods of the invention are described and various apparatuses of the invention are also described. The methods and apparatuses measure time of day using SPS signals without reading the satellite data messages which are transmitted as data within these signals. The methods and apparatuses are suitable for situations in which the received signal level is too weak to allow reading of the satellite data messages.
