Self monitoring GPS on mobile device

摘要

A method, a mobile device arid a computer program product for acquiring GPS on a mobile device possessing GPS capability are disclosed. The method comprises the step of setting a current value of the period of the power-up phase of the GPS dependent upon adaptive predictions of when the GPS should be powered on to meet specifications on positioning accuracy and GPS acquisition time.

A method of acquiring id="REI-00001" date="20161213" GPSid="REI-00001" id="REI-00002" date="20161213" position id="REI-00002" on a mobile wireless communication device for a wireless communications network, said mobile id="REI-00003" date="20161213" wireless communication id="REI-00003" device possessing wireless communications capability for said wireless id="REI-00004" date="20161213" communications id="REI-00004" network and an embedded id="REI-00005" date="20161213" GPSid="REI-00005" id="REI-00006" date="20161213" Global Positioning System (GPS) id="REI-00006" module for GPS capability, said method comprising:
setting a current value of a period of a power-up phase of said GPSadaptively predicting when said GPS module should be powered on to meet specifications on at least one of positioning accuracy and GPS acquisition time, said adaptively predicting when said GPS module should be powered on being dependent on a current radio position and error of said mobile wireless communication device in the wireless network, said position error being determined from the wireless communications network and adaptive predictions of when said GPS should be powered on to meet specifications on positioning accuracy and GPS acquisition time, said wireless communications network being different from said GPS.
