CHAPTER 13 - POSITION DETERMINATION

(GPS) AT COMMANDS

These AT commands are supported on gpsOne equipped CDMA modems. GpsOne is a wireless-assisted hybrid solution that utilizes both GPS and base-station trilateration to determine the mobile positions in more covered situations other than GPS alone.

The following includes several set-up commands (+WPDST, +WPDOM, +WPDDD, +WPDFR, +WPDPL), the start-session command (+WPDSS), the end-session command (+WPDES), and responses. Setup commands are not required in most cases (as defaults will be provided) before the start-session commands.

Note that these commands are preliminary. Changes may be made when carrier plans for location services are more readily available.

Position Determination Session Type +WPDST

Description:

This command sets and returns the PD session type.

Values:

<type>

 

 

0: session to provide the last position info available

 

1: session to provide single-shot fix

 

 

2: tracking mode independent fixes – session to provide continuous independent

 

position fixes

 

 

3: tracking mode – session to provide continuous position fixes

 

4: data download – session to download ephemeris/almanac data only to minimize

 

delays to obtain future fixes

 

 

Note that when a tracking mode is requested (continuous position fixes) and the TCP/IP

 

transport layer is used, the position fixes will not be retrieved until the data call ends. Only

 

the last 10 position fixes will be presented.
