Radio frequency receive chain control for receiving satellite positioning signals

A satellite signal processing method comprising:

• receiving, at a user equipment, a first satellite signal of a first frequency band from at least one satellite of a constellation of satellites;
• receiving, at the user equipment, a second satellite signal of a second frequency band and from the at least one satellite of the constellation of satellites;
• and
• controlling an activation status of at least one of:
• a first satellite signal receive chain, of the user equipment, configured to measure the first satellite signal;
• or a second satellite signal receive chain, of the user equipment, configured to measure the second satellite signal.

A user equipment comprising:

• means for measuring a first satellite signal of a first frequency band from at least one satellite of a constellation of satellites;
• means for measuring a second satellite signal of a second frequency band and from the at least one satellite of the constellation of satellites;
• and
• means for controlling an activation status of at least one of the means for measuring the first satellite signal or the means for measuring the second satellite signal.

A non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium comprising processor-readable instructions to cause a processor of a user equipment to:

• control an activation status of at least one of a first satellite signal receive chain of the user equipment or a second satellite signal receive chain of the user equipment;
• wherein the first satellite signal receive chain is configured to measure a first satellite signal, of a first frequency band, from at least one satellite of a constellation of satellites;
• and
• wherein the second satellite signal receive chain is configured to measure a second satellite signal, of a second frequency band and from the at least one satellite of the constellation of satellites.
