Synergies on Handset Architecture Level for combined GNSS and Wireless Location

Günter Heinrichs and Bernd Eissfeller

Abstract:	Satellite-based navigation and positioning will have in future a tremendous influence on our daily life. In addition, interest in cellular network and/or handset based positioning techniques is growing rapidly in the mobile telephone community. The location requirements for emergency callers outside urban areas can hardly be fulfilled without GNSS. Thus, the combination of GNSS with cellular network-based wireless location and positioning will become an growing research and industrial area of interest in future. This will effect both, the GNSS/cellular network side and the GNSS receiver/ mobile handset side. The purpose of this paper is to give first answers on the question if handset architecture synergies exist for the combination of GNSS with wireless location. Preliminary conclusions on the synergy issue will be drawn and future trends outlined.
