Satellite for broadcasting clock state data

A low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite comprising:

• a non-atomic clock configured to generate a clock signal;
• at least one receiver configured to receive first signaling from at least on non-LEO navigation satellite of a constellation of non-LEO navigation satellites in non-LEO, the first signaling including first timing data generated based on a high precision clock;
• at least one processor configured to execute operational instructions that cause the at least one processor to perform operations that include:
• generate clock state data based on the clock signal and the first timing data;
• generating a navigation message that indicates the clock state data;
• generating a broadcast carrier signal by utilizing the clock signal;
• and
• generate a navigation signal based on modulating the navigation message upon the broadcast carrier signal;
• and
• a navigation signal transmitter configured to broadcast the navigation signal for receipt by at least one client device, the navigation signal facilitating the at least one client device to generate precision timing data based on the clock state data.

A client device, comprising:

• at least one receiver configured to:
• receive at least one navigation signal from at least one satellite of a constellation of LEO navigation satellites in LEO, wherein the at least one navigation signal includes at least one timing data and further includes at least one clock state data for at least one non-atomic clock utilized to generate the at least one navigation signal;
• at least one processor configured to execute operational instructions that cause the at least one processor to perform operations that include:
• extracting the clock state data and the timing data from the at least one navigation signal;
• and
• generating precision timing data based on applying the clock state data to the timing data.
