Method and system for indoor global navigation satellite system detection utilizing low-earth orbit satellite signals

摘要

Methods and systems for indoor global navigation satellite system detection utilizing low Earth orbit satellite signals may comprise receiving low Earth orbit (LEO) RF satellite signals utilizing a LEO satellite signal receiver path (LEO Rx) in a wireless communication device comprising the LEO satellite signal receiver path and a medium Earth orbit satellite signal receiver path (MEO Rx). A received signal strength indicator (RSSI) may be measured for the received LEO signals and an expected received MEO signal strength may be calculated. A power level of the MEO Rx may be configured based on the calculated MEO signal strength by powering down when the calculated expected MEO signal strength is below a threshold level for MEO positioning purposes and/or powered up when it increases above the threshold level. The RSSI may be measured at a plurality of points along the LEO Rx.
