Sepura SDS LIP

[Maciek_PE]

Hi,

I am trying to understand how GPS location is decoded in SDS LIP message, but I can't

Message received from my radio: 0A 00B8C31A53EB496D6200 (ShortLocationReport)
In bin: 0000101000000000101110001100001100011010010100111110101101001001011011010110001000000000

According to ETSI TS: Long. is encoded on 25 bits (1010000000001011100011000) and Lat. under 24 bits (011000110100101001111101)

LIP translator shows this location: Longitude:-134° 56' 11.6492'' Latitude:69° 48' 50.2734''
and AVL log file: 52.37570 16.23886

I tried to convert bin to dec and multiply 360/2^25 - but nothing fits to the results.

Could You help me, please?

To reverse engineer a protocol, you should gather more than one sample...

Also, you have two wildly different interpretations of the data, but you don't indicate which one has a chance of being correct.

Convert your latitude value to decimal degrees.

Latitude:69° 48' 50.2734'' = 69.813964833

            69° = 69.00
       48' / 60 =  0.80
50.2734'' / 3600 = 0.01396483

Latitude:69° 48' 50.2734'' = 69.813964833

Divide by 0.0000107288360595703125 (180 degrees divided by 2 ^ 24)

Truncate the result to the integer value
6507133.1545846518518518518518519 = 6507133

Convert to Binary:

6507133 = 011000110100101001111101

Here's the latitude value in your message:

00001010000000001011100011000 011000110100101001111101 01101001001011011010110001000000000
                              011000110100101001111101

You can find the format of the message and the formulas here:

Paragraph 6.3.30 has the formula for latitude
Paragraph 6.3.31 has the formula for longitude

cheers,

Convert your latitude value to decimal degrees...

Have you tried to convert Longitude like this?
In dec. it will be: ~225.

For this reason I created this topic

 

[DSheirer]

The latitude and longitude values are in two's complement format. If the leading bit of either the latitude or longitude value is a 1, then you know you have a negative hemispherical value (latitude = south or longitude = west) and you have to convert from two's complement form.

Problem solved.

My LIP translator took wrong bits to decode lat. and long. from SDS (from Protocol identifier - rather than reject them).

Thank you guys for all your help.
