EGPS ( EGPS, EGPS, trademarked as eGPS) is a technology designed for mobile phones on GSM and W-CDMA networks, to augment GPS signals to deliver faster location fixes, lower cost implementations and reduced power and processing requirements. It is being developed by CSR who has partnered with Motorola – together they intend to create an open industry forum. CSR claim that this enables software-only GPS solutions to operate reliably in all environments, and that eGPS is superior to Assisted GPS. EGPS technologies are due in 2008.

  • EGPS ( EGPS, EGPS, trademarked as eGPS) is a technology designed for mobile phones on GSM and W-CDMA networks, to augment GPS signals to deliver faster location fixes, lower cost implementations and reduced power and processing requirements. It is being developed by CSR who has partnered with Motorola – together they intend to create an open industry forum. According to CSR, EGPS delivers a "universal positioning capability that will not only work reliably indoors and in zero GPS signal conditions, but greatly speed time to fix in poor GPS reception areas where most handsets are used." More specifically, it can "exploit data available from the cellular network to speed GPS fixes and provide complementary, fast, and reliable location sensing when GPS signals are weak or unavailable." CSR is hoping to add eGPS capabilities to handsets for less than $1 per unit. E-GPS combines CSR's "Matrix" technology with GPS – when a user initiates a location request they get a Matrix location instantly using cell tower information, accurate to within 100m. Then CSR's "Fine Time Aiding" helps the device know where to look for a GPS signal, to quickly acquire satellite information within seconds. Fine Time Aiding enables a more aggressive search and is claimed to be equivalent to 6 dB more sensitivity than can be achieved by any GPS hardware correlator in the terminal. CSR claim that this enables software-only GPS solutions to operate reliably in all environments, and that eGPS is superior to Assisted GPS. EGPS technologies are due in 2008. eGPS is much advanced than conventional GPS system provided with enhanced location search and integrated cellular connectivity.2;EGPS-English,Grammar,Puntunation,Spelling (en)
  • La tecnologia Enhanced Global Positioning System (eGPS) permette una possibile e migliore localizzazione del segnale satellitare GPS con dispositivi GSM/W-CDMA in luoghi inaccessibili ai normali sistemi di georeferenziazione, come ad esempio nei luoghi chiusi.È implementata con un chip, montato nei ricevitori satellitari, dall'azienda CSR insieme a Motorola Secondo la CSR, l'EGPS permetterebbe "non soltanto un'universale capacità di posizionamento che funzioni al chiuso e in assenza di segnale GPS, ma un fix molto veloce in zone con scarsa copertura GPS dove molti dispositivi sono usati". Più precisamente, "estrapola i dati dalla rete del cellulare velocizzando il fix del GPS e fornisce un posizionamento veloce, complementare e abbastanza preciso in assenza di segnale GPS". La CSR spera di aggiungere l'eGPS ai dispositivi per meno di 1$ per unità. L'E-GPS combina la tecnologia "Matrix" di CSR con il GPS; quando un utente inizia la localizzazione ottiene il posizionamento immediato tramite la rete telefonica, con un'accuratezza di 100 m. Quindi il "Fine Time Aiding" aiuta il dispositivo a trovare il segnale GPS, per trovare i satelliti nel giro di pochi secondi. Il Fine Time Aiding permette una ricerca più potente e sembra essere più sensibile di 6 dB rispetto a qualsiasi altro hardware GPS. CSR dichiara che questo sistema può funzionare in qualsiasi dispositivo, risultando superiore al GPS assistito. (it)
