Abstract

A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) enabled device includes an inertial sensor and receiver circuitry to track a position of the GNSS enabled device. The receiver circuitry selects a mode of a GNSS technology based on power available at the GNSS enabled device and a positioning error value associated with the mode of the GNSS technology. The positioning error value associated with the selected mode is less than a specified accuracy threshold. The receiver circuitry calibrates the inertial sensor based on the selected mode of the GNSS technology to track the position of the GNSS enabled device to reduce the overall power consumption at the GNSS enabled device.
