Method and Device for Efficient Dissemination of Information in a Satellite Navigation System
First Claim
1. A method for the efficient dissemination of information in a satellite navigation system, which includes a satellite system comprising a plurality of satellites, the method comprising:
- observing, by a network of observation stations, signals of the satellites;
evaluating, by one or more redundant central processing centers, the observations of the observation stations;
generating, by the one or more redundant central processing centers, information based on the observations for dissemination to utilization systems;
transmitting, by a communication network, the observations from the observation stations to the one or more redundant central processing centers;
sending, by the one or more redundant central processing centers, the information to selected satellites; and
upon receiving the information, sending, by each of the selected satellites, the information to neighboring satellites.

Abstract
A system and method for the efficient dissemination of information in a satellite navigation system is provided. The system includes a satellite system comprising a plurality of satellites, a network of observation stations for observing the signals of the satellites, one or more redundant central processing center(s) for evaluating the observations of the observation stations and for generating information, based on the observations, for the dissemination to utilization systems, and a communication network for transmitting the observations from the observation stations to the one or more redundant central processing center(s). The one or more redundant central processing center(s) send(s) the information to the selected satellites, and upon receiving the information, each of the selected satellites sends this information to the neighboring satellites.

8. A satellite navigation system that efficiently disseminates information, comprising:
-
a satellite system, which comprises a plurality of satellites; a network of observation stations that observe signals of the satellites; one or more redundant central processing centers that evaluate the observations of the observation stations and generate information based on the observations that is disseminated to utilization systems; and a communication network that transmits the observations from the observation stations to the one or more redundant central processing centers, wherein the one or more redundant central processing centers send information to selected satellites, and upon receiving the information, each of the selected satellites sends this information to neighboring satellites. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
