In some embodiments, Satellite Positioning System (SPS) time information associated with at least one SPS may be maintained at a UE, which may also receive time information from a Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN). In some embodiments, the UE may determine a corrected SPS time information for a first time based, in part, on the received WWAN time information, where the corrected SPS time information corrects the SPS time information associated with the at least one SPS maintained at the UE. The UE may initiate transmission of SPS timing assistance information to an associated device over a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN), wherein the SPS timing assistance information comprises the corrected SPS time information for the first time.

In some examples, compensating for hysteretic characteristics of a crystal oscillator in a timing circuit includes obtaining a plurality of successive temperature measurements. From the plurality of successive temperature measurements, a temperature gradient having a sign and a magnitude can be determined. A frequency compensation parameter can then be determined based on any combination of two or more factors chosen from a set of factors including a temperature measurement, the sign of the temperature gradient, and the magnitude of the temperature gradient. A frequency error of the timing circuit can then be compensated based on the frequency compensation parameter.
