A security system comprises a secured asset associated with a
high-sensitivity GPS receiver that can receive network aiding
information. Indoors, the pseudo-ranges from orbiting GPS satellites can
be computed by using digital correlators to pull directly received
satellite signal transmissions from the noise floor, but the NAV-data
transmissions cannot be demodulated well enough due to the attenuation
caused by the building structure. So a wireless network is relied upon to
provide aiding information that supplies the almanac and ephemeredes. The
fact that the NAV-data transmissions cannot be demodulated well enough is
taken as indicia that the system is being operated indoors, and such can
be used in a geo-fence control to decide if indoor or outdoor use is not
permitted. The secured asset can be temporarily or permanently disabled
according to such geo-fence controls.
