Abstract
A method for synchronizing data segments transmitted by a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal is disclosed. Each of the data segments has a plurality of data units including a data unit, which contains a plurality of bit positions defined for carrying time information. The method comprises: identifying a specific data unit from a specific data segment; and comparing a reference time data with a plurality of bits of the specific data unit at the bit positions to synchronize the data segments in the GNSS signal.
