LE910Cx/ME910C1/ML856C1/NE910C1 A-GPS Application Note 1. INTRODUCTION Scope This document provides guidelines for using the Assisted GPS (A-GPS) functionality provided by Telit's ME910 family of modules. This document also includes information on the Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) standard created by the OMA standardization body.
LE910Cx/ME910C1/ML856C1/NE910C1 A-GPS Application Note Symbol Conventions Danger: This information MUST be followed or catastrophic equipment failure or personal injury may occur. Warning: Alerts the user on important steps about the module integration. Note/Tip: Provides advice and suggestions that may be useful when integrating the module.
LE910Cx/ME910C1/ML856C1/NE910C1 A-GPS Application Note 2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION GPS- Global Positioning System The GPS system is based on a constellation of 24 satellites that are evenly spread across six circular orbital planes with a height of around 20200 km. Orbits in this height are referred to as medium earth orbit (MEO).
LE910Cx/ME910C1/ML856C1/NE910C1 A-GPS Application Note As shown in the above figure, Telit GPS receivers defaults to the geodetic reference (datum) WGS-84, an ECEF (Earth Centered, Earth Fixed) coordinate system that consists in an ellipsoid approximating the total mass of the Earth. WGS-84 provides a worldwide common grid system that can be translated into local coordinate systems or map datums.

LE910Cx/ME910C1/ML856C1/NE910C1 A-GPS Application Note A-GPS is based on the use of a data connection (for example, a cellular network) to provide predicted satellite information from an A-GPS server to the GNSS receiver. With the help of this data, the receiver is usually able to achieve a positional fix faster than using live data only.
LE910Cx/ME910C1/ML856C1/NE910C1 A-GPS Application Note 3. GNSS SOLUTION Standalone GNSS Standalone (or autonomous) GNSS mode is a feature that allows the GNSS receiver installed on the cellular module to perform First Fixing without the use of network data. The GNSS receiver estimates position directly from satellites (GPS, GLONASS, and so on) in line of sight.
LE910Cx/ME910C1/ML856C1/NE910C1 A-GPS Application Note This command enables the GNSS data stream format and reserves the AT interface port for the NMEA stream only. After a time interval based on the environmental characteristic of the location where the GNSS receiver operates (outside, inside, city, and so on), the continuous streaming of RMC sentences becomes populated.
LE910Cx/ME910C1/ML856C1/NE910C1 A-GPS Application Note The LE910Cx/ME910C1/ML865C1/NE910C1 series supports the following type of A-GPS: Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) was proposed by OMA • 3.2.1. MS-Based mode In MS-Based mode, the module requires assistance data to the SLP Server. The A-GPS receiver, installed on the module, receives the signals from the visible satellites calculates its position using data from the SLP Server.
