Patent 11567214 was granted and assigned to Aireon Llc on January, 2023 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
In one implementation, first and second messages are received that include encoded position information for a transmitter. It is determined that both were received within some time of a previous message and that the second message was received within some time of the first message. A first location of the transmitter is determined based on the encoded position in the first message and the previously determined location. A second location of the transmitter is determined based on the encoded position in the second message and the previously determined location. It also is determined that the first and second locations are within a threshold distance. An updated second location of the transmitter is determined based on the encoded position information in the second message and the first location. A determination is made that the second location and the updated second location are within a threshold distance.
