Abstract
A system and method for reducing peak loads on a network, includes: a server in communication with a plurality of GPS receivers, the receivers sending requests for an ephemeris to the server when a time of ephemeris (TOE) for a previous ephemeris expires; and the ephemeris received by the receivers being adjusted by the addition of a value to the TOE of the ephemeris, the value being randomly adjusted to a 16 second interval between 16 seconds and 30 minutes.
Claims12
A method of reducing peak loads on a server transmitting ephemeris to a plurality of GPS receivers, comprising:
- a) said server receiving a request for an ephemeris from one of said clients, said ephemeris having a time of ephemeris parameter;
- b) adjusting said time of ephemeris (TOE) parameter by adding a value to said time of ephemeris;
- and
- c) providing said adjusted emphemeris to a GPS receiver.
