Abstract
Devices and methods are described for determining position information without broadcast ephemeris data for a spanned time period using predictions of future satellite states. These predictions include predictions of satellite clock bias. During the spanned time period, broadcast ephemeris is received such that a broadcast-ephemeris-derived satellite clock bias may be determined. The predictions of satellite clock bias subsequent to the receipt of the broadcast ephemeris may then be corrected based upon the broadcast-ephemeris-derived satellite clock bias.
