A GPS system has a plurality of satellites transmitting time and location data over radio frequency signals which enable a mobile GPS receiver on the ground to determine its position, includes a source of satellite data message block containing the ephemeris and time modes of the GPS satellites which is independent of the satellites, and an independent cellular telephone channel having a voice channel, a data-in-voice modem including a notch filtering circuit in the voice channel (transmits and receive) and circuits for inserting and retrieving data in and from the notch for accessing said satellite data message block and controller means connecting said satellite message data block to said mobile GPS receiver.

Cellular telephone with voice-in-data modem

A global positioning system (GPS) in which a plurality earth orbiting satellites transmit position information to mobile radio stations on earth, is provided with a separate source satellite position data broadcast digital channels and one or more dial-up service separate communication channels (selected from a data link supported by terrestrial cellular telephone and other radio packet data services) for assisting the mobile radio station to access position information from the satellites. A controller is coupled to the mobile radio station for connecting to the separate communication channel for extricating the satellite position data via separate communication channel. The controller includes a microprocessor for processing the satellite position data to enable the mobile radio station to rapidly locate and access position information from said earth orbiting satellite. A unique system for processing the data is disclosed.

Hybrid GPS/data line unit for rapid, precise, and robust position

A portable cellular telephone system including a stationary transceiver for radio communication with a plurality of mobile transceivers within a geographic cell, a mobile transceiver within said geographic cell and having sufficient power to communicate with said stationary transceiver, and a portable transceiver of limited size for personal transport and use. The portable transceiver communicates with the mobile transceiver by spread spectrum techniques, and the mobile transceiver communicates with the stationary transceiver by frequency modulated radio transmission or by digital radio transmission.
