+warm and hot start. They differ from each other by the amount of known
+information by the GPS receiver. Cold start indicates the GPS receiver
+has no almanac\footnote{Almanac information are rough estimation parameters for

+the GPS receiver is started, it stores the previously mentioned data (last known almanac,
+ephemeris, oscillator offset, time and position data) in its electrically erasable
+programmable read only memory (EEPROM). This type of start is known as a warm start,
+provided that the data in the receivers' EEPROM are not older than 180 days and
+its real time clock counter was constantly updated.
+In this case, the receiver uses the previously saved information
+to estimate the position of the satellites, therefore the Doppler effects can be estimated.
+As a consequence of the known Doppler effect, the frequency bin where to start

+\section{Assisted GPS}
+\label{sec:agps}
+In the following paragraphs Assisted GPS (A-GPS) will be presented and how it works.
+A-GPS receivers work on a ``similar principle'' as warm/hot start on GPS receivers.
+Instead of loading the recently saved data from the EEPROM, an external
+transfer medium is used to deliver the same type of information that are known
+at a warm/hot start \citep{755159}, \citep{901174}, \citep{springerlink:10.1007/s10291-002-0028-0}.
+In this work, the external transfer medium is air and the information are transfered using electromagnetic
+waves. The existing GSM interface was utilised for the purpose of delivering the data to the smart phone
+with the A-GPS receiver.
+
+The BTS station is connected to the GNSS server, which is directly
+connected to the GPS reference station and .
