LOCATION METHOD FOR A SELECTIVE CALL RECEIVER OPERATING IN A SATELLITE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A selective call receiver (24) that receives signals transmitted by orbiting satellites (A, B) uses certain information transmitted by the satellites (A, B) to calculate an estimate of its position. Using that estimate and other information, the selective call receiver (24) is able to save power by disregarding certain information contained in transmitted signals that are not intended for it (56).
