Abstract
A positioning system based on an extended Kalman filter (EKF), or other filter, responsive to measurements provided on the basis of information received from, in some applications, cellular base stations, as well as, optionally, satellites, where, in the case of measurements by satellites, and also in other aspects of the invention as used with cellular positioning data, the EKF is modified for greater responsiveness based on use of calculated association probabilities for each measurement in a set of measurements of position at a particular instant of time, the association probabilities used in the calculation of a combined measurement innovation (residual) used in calculating the next estimate of position (and other state information, including velocity). By using a combined measurement innovation, the positioning system is able to accept simultaneous measurements based on information received from different sources of information, including both satellites and cellular base stations.
