Base station transmission of gnss correction data via beacon frame

A base station comprising:

• a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) antenna;
• a correction antenna;
• and
• one or more processors communicatively coupled to the GNSS antenna and the correction antenna, wherein the one or more processors are configured to perform operations comprising:
• wirelessly receiving, via the GNSS antenna, GNSS signals from one or more GNSS satellites;
• generating GNSS correction data based on the GNSS signals;
• forming a beacon frame comprising a frame header, a frame body, and a frame check sequence (FCS), wherein the frame body is formed to include the GNSS correction data;
• and
• wirelessly transmitting, via the correction antenna, the beacon frame for receipt by a rover, wherein the rover is operable to wirelessly receive the beacon frame and calculate a geospatial position of the rover based on the GNSS correction data.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• wirelessly receiving, by a base station, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals from one or more GNSS satellites;
• generating, by the base station, GNSS correction data based on the GNSS signals;
• forming, by the base station, a beacon frame comprising a frame header, a frame body, and a frame check sequence (FCS), wherein the frame body is formed to include the GNSS correction data;
• wirelessly transmitting, by the base station, the beacon frame for receipt by a rover, wherein the rover is operable to wirelessly receive the beacon frame and calculate a geospatial position of the rover based on the GNSS correction data.
