SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING POSITION USING TWO WAY TIME TRANSFER SIGNALS

摘要

A system for enhancing location estimates by movable rovers including one or more base stations that engage in two way time transfer (TWTT) with the rovers. Each TWTT operation between a given base station and a given rover provides range measurements and clock differences between the base station and rover. The range measurements are based on the travel time of return TWTT signals and the clock differences are based on a phase offset of a code in the return TWTT signal and/or timing information included in the return TWTT signals.
