METHOD OF SYSTEM FOR INCREASING THE RELIABILITY AND ACCURACY OF LOCATION ESTIMATION IN A HYBRID POSITIONING SYSTEM

摘要

Methods and systems of hybrid positioning are provided for increasing the reliability and accuracy of location estimation. According to embodiments of the invention, the quality of reported locations from specific sources of location is assessed. Satellite and non-satellite positioning systems provide initial positioning estimates. For each positioning system relevant information is collected and based on the collected information each system is assigned appropriate weight.
