Assisted satellite time and location

A system for assisting satellite time and/or location, the system comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive a signal from a satellite, the signal having a high peak power flux density and including at least one characteristic unpredictable from the signal by the receiver;
• and
• a processor configured to approximate the at least one unpredictable characteristic of the signal based on aiding information and to determine time and/or location of the receiver from the signal and the approximation of at least one unpredictable characteristic of the signal.

A system for assisting satellite time and/or location, the system comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive a signal from a low earth orbit satellite, the signal including a characteristic unpredictable by the receiver;
• and
• a processor configured to approximate the at least one unpredictable characteristic of the signal based on aiding information and to determine time and/or location of the receiver from the signal and the approximation of at least one unpredictable characteristic of the signal.

A method for assisting satellite time and/or location, the method comprising:

• sending a burst request for a signal to be included in a satellite burst transmission;
• generating burst data for a receiver configured to receive the satellite burst transmission, wherein the burst data comprises assistance data formatted for determination of the time and/or location from the satellite burst transmission based on the burst data.
