Abstract
(EN)
The present invention is a system and method for accurately determining the distance (range and range rate) between one or more satellites (116, 118) and a user terminal (124, 126) in order to determine the location of the user terminal (124, 126). When one satellite is available, the present invention determines the range (516) and range rate (516) based on the Doppler frequency shift (504) between the satellite (116, 118) and the user terminal (124, 126), the round trip delay (510) from the satellite (116, 118) to the user terminal (124, 126) and back via a satellite to a gateway (120, 122), the Doppler frequency shift (512) between the satellite (116, 118) and the gateway (120, 122), and the timestamps of the measurements (506, 514). When a second satellite is available, the present invention determines the range (610) and range rate (610) between the second satellite and the user terminal (124, 126) based on the round trip delay, the Doppler frequency shift between the second satellite and the user terminal (124, 126), and the difference in arrival times (604) at the user terminal (124, 126) of the signals from the satellites (116, 118).

La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé de détermination précise de la distance (distance et variation de distance), entre un ou plusieurs satellites (116, 118) et un terminal utilisateur (124, 126), ces mesures pouvant s'utiliser pour déterminer la localisation du terminal (124, 126) utilisateur. Lorsqu'un satellite est disponible, la présente invention permet d'en déterminer la distance (516) et la variation de distance (516) sur la base du changement (504) de fréquence Doppler entre le satellite (116, 118) et le terminal (124, 126) utilisateur; du temps de transmission aller-retour (510) du satellite (116, 118) vers le terminal (124, 126) utilisateur et le retour via un satellite vers une passerelle (120, 122); du changement (512) de fréquence Doppler entre le satellite (116, 118) et la passerelle (120, 122); et des horodateurs des mesures (506, 514). Lorsqu'un deuxième satellite est disponible, la présente invention permet de déterminer la distance (610) et la variation de distance (610) entre le deuxième satellite et le terminal (124, 126) utilisateur sur la base du temps de transmission aller-retour; du changement de fréquence Doppler entre le deuxième satellite et le terminal (124, 126) utilisateur; et de la différence entre les temps (604) d'arrivée au terminal (124, 126) utilisateur des signaux provenant des satellites (116, 118).
