Abstract
A method is disclosed for acquisition by navigation terminals of navigation signals broadcast by satellites of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS). A communication channel enables nearby terminals to exchange information and to constitute a network to provide assistance and to enable terminals to collaborate by sharing their respective resources and contributing to the computing operations involved in the execution of an acquisition phase for tuning to the navigation signal from a satellite in view. The method can be applied to any global navigation satellite system.
