Timing signals derived from a communication system, such as cellular phone transmission signals, are received by a GPS receiver and decoded to provide accurate time information. The timing signals may be in the form of synchronized events marked by timing indicators, or as system time information. The timing signals in combination with satellite position signals received by the GPS receiver are used to determine the position, of the GPS receiver. | |
