Claims7
A process for optimizing status notifications in a navigation satellite system, said process comprising:
- determining information concerning a communication network of the navigation satellite system;
- and
- transmitting the determined information as a status notification in at least one navigation message.
A navigation satellite system comprising a space segment that includes satellites emitting satellite signals which contain navigation messages for the receipt and analysis by user systems for position indication and navigation, and a ground segment that includes a plurality of observation and command stations which monitor the satellites;
- wherein at least one of the observation and command stations is configured to implement a process for optimizing status notifications in the navigation satellite system, including determining information concerning a communication network of the navigation satellite system;
- and transmitting the determined information as a status notification in at least one navigation message.
A process for processing a status notification transmitted with a navigation message in a navigation satellite system, said process comprising:
- receiving a navigation message with a status notification which was generated and transmitted by a process that includes determining information concerning a communication network of the navigation satellite system, and transmitting the determined information as a status notification in at least one navigation message;
- determining the information concerning the communication network of the navigation satellite system contained in said status notification;
- and
- computing expected continuity of the availability of observation data in the navigation satellite system based on the determined information concerning the communication network of the navigation satellite system.
