Abstract
A receiver device includes an acquisition engine and a reconfiguration engine. The acquisition engine uses a first circuit size. The acquisition engine is configured to receive a first signal including a plurality of first satellite vehicle signals, and identify a first satellite vehicle based on the first signal. The reconfiguration engine is configured to receive an indication that the acquisition engine identified the first satellite vehicle, and responsive to receiving the indication, generate a reconfiguration file defining a second circuit size less than the first circuit size. The reconfiguration engine is configured to cause the acquisition engine to be reconfigured based on the reconfiguration file to use the second circuit size.
Claims9
A receiver device, comprising:
- an acquisition engine using a first circuit size, the acquisition engine configured to receive a first signal including a plurality of first satellite vehicle signals, the acquisition engine configured to identify a first satellite vehicle based on the first signal;
- a reconfiguration engine configured to receive an indication that the acquisition engine identified the first satellite vehicle, and responsive to receiving the indication, generate a reconfiguration file defining a second circuit size less than the first circuit size and cause the acquisition engine to be reconfigured based on the reconfiguration file to use the second circuit size;
- and
- wherein the second circuit size corresponds to a number of logical elements used by the acquisition engine and is determined based on a time uncertainty parameter for identifying a second satellite vehicle.
