Abstract
A system, method, apparatus, and means for providing GPS aiding data to networked receivers includes capturing partial aiding data at a network device, deriving accurate aiding data from the partial aiding data, and utilizing the accurate aiding data as aiding data. In some embodiments, providing GPS aiding data further includes capturing second partial signal data at a second network device, deriving accurate aiding data from an aggregation of the partial aiding data and the second partial aiding data, and forwarding the accurate aiding data to the network device and the second network device. In some embodiments, this process repeats as needed to maintain accurate timing and position information within the network.
