METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LOCATION DETERMINATION USING PLATE TECTONICS MODELS

Abstract:

Techniques are provided for applying plate tectonic model information to improve the accuracy of base station assisted satellite navigation systems. An example method for determining a location of a mobile device includes receiving base station measurement, coordinate and epoch information, receiving base station velocity information, receiving signals from a plurality of satellite vehicles, and determining the location of the mobile device based on the signals received from the plurality of satellite vehicles, the base station measurement, coordinate and epoch information, and the station velocity information.
