1. A method for determining a global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-based location of a remote node, comprising:
- receiving GNSS signal samples through a communication network having an intermediate node, said GNSS signal samples corresponding to digitized samples of a GNSS signal received by said remote node;
geolocating a node ID associated with said intermediate node for determining a geographical location of said intermediate node; and
determining a GNSS-based geographical location of said remote node based on said GNSS signal samples and said intermediate node location.

Abstract
A GPS positioning system having a remote node and a network-aided GPS node locator. The remote node samples a GPS signal and transmits the GPS signal samples through a communication network having an intermediate node. The GPS node locator receives the GPS signal samples through the communication network, geolocates the intermediate node from a node ID, and uses the GNSS signal samples with the intermediate node geographical location for determining the geographical location of the remote node.
