METHOD FOR THE GEOGRAPHICAL SELECTION OF GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEM ELEMENTS

摘要

A system to select a type of satellite from a plurality of types of satellites in a multi-constellation of satellites is provided. The system includes at least a first receiver configured to input signals from a first type of satellite and a second receiver configured to input signals from a second type of satellite and a processor. The processor: executes a multi-constellation-selection software module to associate a current position with a mapping feature and select at least one selected type of satellite from the plurality of types of satellites based on the associated mapping feature; executes a compute-position/velocity/time (PVT) software module to compute a current position/velocity/time based on at least one selected input signal input at a receiver associated with the at least one selected type of satellite; and feeds the computed current position/velocity/time to the multi-constellation-selection software module based on the execution of the compute-PVT software module.

1. A system to select one or more types of satellites from a plurality of types of satellites in a multi-constellation of satellites, the system comprising:
a plurality of receivers including at least:
a first receiver configured to input signals from a first type of satellite; anda second receiver configured to input signals from a second type of satellite; a processor configured to:
execute a multi-constellation-selection software module to:
associate a current position with a mapping feature;select at least one selected type of satellite from the plurality of types of satellites based on the associated mapping feature; andexecute a compute-position/velocity/time (PVT) software module in order to compute a current position/velocity/time based on at least one selected input signal input at a receiver associated with the at least one selected type of satellite; andfeed the computed current position/velocity/time to the multi-constellation-selection software module based on the execution of the compute-PVT software module to implement rules for the at least one selected type of satellite.
