Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure provide an apparatus that includes a receiving circuit and a processing circuit. The receiving circuit is configured to receive a satellite signal transmitted from a satellite. The satellite signal carries navigation bits that are transmitted with a navigation bit length. The processing circuit is configured to construct aiding navigation bits based on aiding ephemeris and almanac information that are provided by an aiding source other than the satellite signal. Further, the processing circuit is configured to strip the navigation bits from the satellite signal based on the aiding navigation bits to generate a post-stripping signal, and perform an integration on the post-stripping signal.
