Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of satellite positioning, in particular to a satellite positioning method.

Background

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a very widely used satellite Positioning System in the world. If the GPS is used singly for positioning, the use of the satellite positioning system and the positioning accuracy can be influenced due to the existence of factors such as different countries, regions and even shelters.

Satellite positioning has long been an important indicator technology for outdoor positioning due to its many advantages, such as high global coverage (up to 98%), high accuracy, rapidity, time saving, wide application, mobile positioning, etc.

The positioning procedure of the conventional satellite positioning receiver can be divided into three procedures of acquisition, tracking and positioning. In the acquisition process, the satellite positioning receiver is used to calculate the code phase and Doppler shift of the satellites visible in the sky. In the tracking procedure, the satellite positioning receiver is used to synchronize the local signal with the satellite signal, and further to solve the parameters such as the satellite ephemeris, which is an indispensable parameter in the subsequent positioning procedure and includes the absolute transmission time of the satellite and the satellite orbit information. In the positioning procedure, the satellite positioning receiver is used to obtain the correct satellite position and the virtual distance between the satellite and the satellite positioning receiver according to the parameters such as the satellite ephemeris, and calculate the position of the satellite.

For a conventional satellite positioning receiver, once the ephemeris information of a satellite cannot be normally obtained in a tracking procedure, the absolute transmission time of the satellite and the satellite orbit information cannot be obtained; in the absence of the absolute time of transmission and the satellite orbit information, the conventional satellite positioning receiver cannot obtain the correct satellite position and the virtual distance between the satellite and the satellite positioning receiver, and thus cannot calculate the positioning position of the user.

A conventional satellite positioning receiver may include a radio frequency front end unit, a satellite signal acquisition unit, a satellite signal tracking unit, and a positioning calculation unit, wherein the radio frequency front end unit is used as a communication interface between a satellite and the satellite positioning receiver, and the satellite signal acquisition unit, the satellite signal tracking unit, and the positioning calculation unit are respectively used for executing three procedures of acquisition, tracking, and positioning. Since the transmission rate of satellite ephemeris transmitted by the satellite is very low (about 50bps), it takes a very long time (about 30 seconds to several minutes) for the satellite signal tracking unit to download and process a piece of complete satellite ephemeris data (including the absolute transmission time of the satellite and the satellite orbit information) from the satellite. Therefore, the conventional satellite positioning receiver generally has a problem that the first positioning (or cold-start) speed is too slow, which results in too long waiting time for the user or affects the application level.

In view of this, how to improve the problem that the initial positioning speed of the conventional satellite positioning receiver is too slow because the satellite signal tracking unit needs to spend too much time downloading from the satellite and processing a complete satellite ephemeris is an important problem to be overcome in the technical field.
