1. A method for controlling power dissipation in a base station of a navigation satellite system (NSS), said method comprising:

  • utilizing a sensor to monitor one or more components of said base station;

    increasing a transmission bit rate, based on information from said sensor, from a pre-defined bit rate to an increased transmission bit rate for an NSS message transmitted from said base station;

    reducing a duty cycle for one or more transmission components of said base station without reducing a transmission power level of said base station; and

    periodically providing a bit rate update signal at said pre-defined bit rate, said bit rate update signal informing a rover utilizing said base station of said increased transmission bit rate for the NSS message transmitted from said base station.
