AGNSS
Assisted Global Navigation
Satellite System
While using a GPS / GNSS receiver in an
inadequate signaling situation, for example, the
module is applied in a building where only a
weak signal can be received, it may depend on
periodically receiving the orbital information of
the target satellite from a calculating source
other than the GPS satellite itself. The data
received is known as assisted GNSS data.
BeiDou
Satellite navigation system operated by China
EPE
Estimated Position Error
EPE is a statistical level of confidence generated
for each position. It is measured by horizontal
position error in feet or meters based upon a
variety of factors including Dilution of Precision
(DOP) and satellite signal quality. However, this
is not an error message. It is only a reference to
inform users how accurate the position of the
GPS is displaying at that time. Furthermore, a
wide range of factors can have impacts on this
reference, such as multipath, number of
satellites, SNR, satellites elevations and period
of time GPS unit is switched on prior to
recording and how long users stay in one
location to record the position.
Geofencing
Geofencing defines a geographic boundary. For
example, if this “virtual barrier” is established in
the module, the further application is able to use
triggers that send a text message, email alert, or
app notification when an objective enters/ leaves
the specified area.
GLONASS
Satellite positioning system operated by Russia
GNSS
Global Navigation Satellite
System
A generic standard term for satellite navigation
systems that provide autonomous geo-spatial
positioning with global coverage.
GPS
Global Positioning System
Satellite positioning system operated by USA
HDOP
Horizontal Dilution of Precision This measures the geometric quality of a GPS
satellite configuration in the sky. HDOP is a
factor that determines the relative accuracy of a
horizontal position.
LLE
Long Life Ephemeris
Predicts satellite orbit information (ephemeris),
with high accuracy, by offering satellite
information from the AGPS server for one day or
more
