mGpsStatusSatellitesUsed
Module: MDS-SERVICE-GPS-MIB
OID (symbolic): MDS-SERVICE-GPS-MIB::mGpsStatusSatellitesUsed
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.4130.10.3.12.1.2.9
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Unsigned32
Access: read-only
Description: The number of satellites being used for GPS fix.
What is mGpsStatusSatellitesUsed?
This read-only value reports the number of GPS satellites actually being used to compute the current position fix, out of those visible. Admins compare it against mGpsStatusSatellitesVisible to judge fix quality, since using fewer satellites than are visible can indicate weak or noisy signals from some of them. For example, seeing 4 satellites used out of 9 visible, with fix mode reporting a3dfix(2), tells an admin the unit has a workable but not optimal GPS fix.
