METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR SIGNAL PREDICTION

An apparatus, method, and system for predicting subframes of Global Positioning System (GPS) signals. The apparatus include a processor capable of determining whether a subframe is an almanac subframe, setting a timehead and adding it to a time-of-week (TOW), setting a telemetry (TLM) message based on value of the TOW, generating a Cyclic Redundancy Code (CRC) for a predicted subframe, and a memory for storing the predicted subframe. The memory may vary in size based on the number of predicted subframes. The processor is further capable of determining whether the value of the TOW is less than the number of seconds in a week, calculating a position of the predicted subframe in the memory, and setting a valid flag.
