Subject: Notes on Codeless SemiCodeless Access to GPS System Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2008 11:31:24 -0500 From: Octavio Leon Caro Cataño To: Jason.Kim@noaa.gov Good Morning Mr Jason: Hope on taking these notes in account. Better Positioning must be welcome. One of the ideas is to have VRS (Virtual Reference System) for a 120-mile grid or so containing a GPS ionospheric error correction model, transmitted directly from every satellite (through L5 or L2 or (and) L1 signal) and NOT from a geostationary one (like current WAAS system). This matter will benefit transportation and multiple other man activities. Targeting a more accurate and precise positioning system will have a positive impact in human civilization. Current L2 coded signal users, due to the expensive receivers they bought, is the only counterback I have found, but even so, they will have profits because their business is precision, and they will have it, and by the time the codeless signals would be implemented, their equipment might be payed back (hope as soon as possible). Prior Presidential Issues, Mr Reagan´s offering GPS for civilians, and Mr Clinton´s action on Selective Availability had represented major milestones in GPS timeline. I think that a major milestone would be codeless and semicodeless access for PPS (Precise Positioning System) From the security point of view, civilian GPS users will have same restrictions, for a military peace of mind: 1) Speed limit 2) Maximum altitude above sea level Thank you.
