Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, computing a first location of a processing system, receiving first data via a unicast transport technology at a first rate, computing a first corrected location of the processing system in accordance with the first location and the first data, receiving second data via a broadcast transport technology, a multicast transport technology, or a combination thereof, at a second rate that is less than the first rate, and computing a second corrected location of the processing system in accordance with the second data. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a first processing system including a first processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising:
- receiving a plurality of signals from a plurality of satellites;
- responsive to the receiving of the plurality of signals, computing a first location of the first processing system;
- receiving first error correction data from a second processing system that includes a second processor at a first rate of signaling;
- responsive to the receiving of the first error correction data, applying the first error correction data to the first location to generate a first corrected location of the first processing system;
- and
- subsequent to the receiving of the first error correction data, receiving second error correction data from the second processing system via a broadcast transport technology, a multicast transport technology, or a combination thereof.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a first processing system including a processor, a plurality of signals from a plurality of satellites
- computing, by the first processing system, a first location of the first processing system, wherein the computing the first location is responsive to the receiving of the plurality of signals;
- receiving, by the first processing system, first error correction data from a second processing system that includes a second processor, wherein the first error correction data is received at a first rate of signaling;
- applying, by the first processing system, the first error correction data to the first location to generate a first corrected location of the first processing system, wherein the applying the first error correction data is responsive to the receiving of the first error correction data;
- and
- subsequent to the receiving of the first error correction data, receiving, by the first processing system, second error correction data from the second processing system via a broadcast transport technology, a multicast transport technology, or a combination thereof, wherein the second error correction data is received at a second rate of signaling.
A device, comprising:
- a first processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the first processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving information of a plurality of satellite signals;
- computing a first location of the first processing system, wherein the computing the first location is responsive to the receiving of the information of the plurality of satellite signals;
- receiving first error correction data from a second processing system, the second processing system including a second processor, wherein the first error correction data is received at a first rate of signaling;
- applying the first error correction data to the first location to generate a first corrected location of the first processing system;
- and
- subsequently, receiving second error correction data from the second processing system via a broadcast transport technology, a multicast transport technology, or a combination thereof.
