Another significant patent is the "Enhanced Rapid Real Time Kinematics Determination Method and Apparatus." This invention offers a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for rapid real-time kinematics determination. It requires lowered information transmission for position updates compared to traditional RTK systems. Position signals are received from both a base station and a roving system, along with a compressed position signal from the base station. The integrated method determines a position estimate using these signals, and ambiguity resolution is enhanced through a quality control procedure. The use of compressed position signals allows for smaller transmissions at a more rapid rate, resulting in a higher position update rate.
