Abstract
A global navigation satellite system ('GNSS') positioning method is provided, based upon a GNSS radio signal that includes a navigation message transmitted as a sequence of frames, each frame being composed of a plurality of subframes, each of which contains a first set of ephemeris and clock correction data (DECH) sufficient for computing a satellite position and a satellite clock error. Each subframe furthermore contains a second set of DECH, more compact than the first set of DECH, but sufficient for computing satellite position and satellite clock error to a lesser degree of accuracy, at least two copies of the second set of DECH being present in each subframe, such that the timing difference between two consecutive copies does not exceed 70% of the subframe duration.
