Supporting a satellite based positioning

摘要

A satellite signal receiver 40 comprises a measurement component 43 adapted to perform measurements on received satellite signals. In order to enable an enhanced handling of the measurements, the receiver further comprises a first processing unit 44 adapted to run a software 45 for controlling the measurement component 43 based on received control parameters. In addition, it comprises a first interface component 46 adapted to receive control parameters via another interface component 34 from another processing unit 35, adapted to provide the control parameters to the first processing unit 44 and adapted to forward measurement results from the measurement component 43 via the other interface component 34 to the other processing unit 35.

1. An apparatus comprising:
a measurement component configured to perform measurements on received satellite signals; a first processor, with a software code, configured to control said measurement component based on received control parameters; and a first interface component configured to receive control parameters via another interface component from another processor external to said apparatus, and configured to provide said control parameters to said first processor; said first processor, with said software code, being further configured to convert measurement results of said measurement component into a suitable format for position information calculations at said other processor; and said first interface component being further configured to forward said converted measurement results via said other interface component to said other processor.
