POSITIONING USING A REFERENCE STATION
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- an apparatus using received measurements on satellite signals that are valid for a first reference station and data provided by a satellite signal receiver for solving integer ambiguities for a baseline between the satellite signal receiver and the first reference station and for tracking the baseline between the satellite signal receiver and the first reference station;
the apparatus using measurements on satellite signals that are valid for the first reference station and measurements on satellite signals that are valid for the second reference station, which have been received in parallel for a limited time, and data provided by the satellite signal receiver for solving integer ambiguities for a baseline between the satellite signal receiver and the second reference station; and
the apparatus using received measurements on satellite signals that are valid for the second reference station, data provided by the satellite signal receiver and the solved integer ambiguities for a baseline between the satellite signal receiver and the second reference station for tracking the baseline between the satellite signal receiver and the second reference station.

Abstract
For supporting a change of a reference station, first data that is valid for a first reference station is provided for transmission to a device, then data that is valid for the first reference station and data that is valid for a second reference station is provided for transmission to the device in parallel for a limited time, and finally data that is valid for the second reference station is provided for transmission to the device. The data for the first reference station and the data for the second reference station include measurements on satellite signals. At a receiving end, the respectively received data can be provided for a positioning of a device comprising a satellite signal receiver.
