Abstract
The invention relates to global positioning system (GPS) assistance data, and in particular, an embodiment in which a method of compressing GPS assistance data reduces the time to transmit data and also reduce time to calculate a location for a mobile device, such as a wireless telecommunications device. The method is especially-well suited for satellites have similar Almanac and/or Navigation Model information elements. The time for a Serving Mobile Location Centre (SMLC) to transmit the compressed assistance data to the mobile device is thus reduced. This eventually reduces the total time for a mobile device to calculate its location based on the assistance data information. Hence the time to first fix (TTFF) which is the time to calculate the first 'fix' (also known as the first calculated location) is reduced.
