Leveraging traditional GNSS time servers for resiliency and interoperability in Broadcast Positioning System (BPS) 

As a complement to existing Positioning, Navigation and Timing services, the Broadcast Positioning System (BPS) requires proper time synchronization in each of the base stations for proper operation. The shared time reference in the different stations combined with their known locations, allows the triangulation needed for positioning and provides a trusted time reference to users benefiting from this system. In order to maintain a traceable and accurate time synchronization, different features supported by traditional GNSS time servers can help, easing and expediting the deployment of these systems.
