Abstract
A satellite signal receiver 40 comprises a measurement component 43 adapted to perform measurements on received satellite signals. In order to enable an enhanced handling of the measurements, the receiver further comprises a first processing unit 44 adapted to run a software 45 for controlling the measurement component 43 based on received control parameters. In addition, it comprises a first interface component 46 adapted to receive control parameters via another interface component 34 from another processing unit 35, adapted to provide the control parameters to the first processing unit 44 and adapted to forward measurement results from the measurement component 43 via the other interface component 34 to the other processing unit 35.
