Chapter 13 – Position Determination (GPS) AT Commands

Position Determination Start Session +WPDSS

Description: This command starts the PD session to get position. Resulting data will come in as unsolicited responses.

Values:

<service>

 

 

“P” Position only

 

 

“PV” Position and Velocity

 

 

“PH” Position and Height

 

 

“PVH” Position, Velocity, and Height

 

 

<performance>

 

 

0: no time allowed for GPS search, use AFLT only.

 

1-255: upper bound of GPS search time in seconds, with 255 seconds the maximum

 

<accuracy>

 

 

Accuracy threshold in meters, used by MS-based only. If position uncertainty higher

 

than the threshold, PDE-calculated fixes will be try. The input can be between 1 to 255.

 

But, the reasonable range may be much smaller.
