    • The typical global positioning system (GPS) estimates the three-dimensional, global position of a radio receiver and associated vehicle, such as an aircraft, using the range measurements between the radio receiver and a set of earth-orbiting satellite transmitters. Estimating the position of the receiver from these range measurements generally entails using an iterative calculation process, which computes a series of position estimates, with each successive estimate converging with increasing accuracy toward the actual receiver position. This iterative approach, however, is not only time consuming, but sometimes fails to converge toward the actual receiver position. Though others have tried to solve these problems, their approaches either fail to consistently converge on a single solution or give multiple solutions. Accordingly, the inventors devised, among other things, new non-iterative methods, for using range measurements to estimate position. One exemplary position-estimation method entails receiving a set of two or more range measurements; defining an error function based on the set of range measurements, with the error function having only one local minimum; and then determining a position estimate based the one local minimum of the error function. This and other exemplary embodiments of the invention promise to reduce the time for computing position estimates.
    • 典型的全球定位系统(GPS)使用无线电接收机和一组地球轨道卫星发射机之间的距离测量来估计无线电接收机和相关车辆(例如飞行器)的三维全局位置。 从这些范围测量估计接收机的位置通常需要使用迭代计算过程,其计算一系列位置估计,其中每个连续估计随着对实际接收机位置的精度的增加而收敛。 然而,这种迭代方法不仅耗时,而且有时不能朝向实际的接收机位置收敛。 虽然其他人试图解决这些问题,但他们的方法或者不能一致地融合在一个单一的解决方案上,或者提供多种解决方案。 因此,发明人设计了新的非迭代方法,用于使用距离测量来估计位置。 一种示例性位置估计方法需要接收一组两个或更多个距离测量; 基于范围测量集合定义误差函数,误差函数只有一个局部最小值; 然后基于误差函数的一个局部最小值来确定位置估计。 本发明的这个和其他示例性实施例有希望减少计算位置估计的时间。
