The paper discusses Galileo's development of new signal components called "Quasi-Pilot" (QP) signals, driven by the increasing need for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers with low computational complexity and fast signal acquisition, especially for emerging applications like Snapshot positioning and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Chipset manufacturers see this capability as a key feature. Also massively reducing the complexity will act as a "door opener" to a new class of simpler E5/L5 single-frequency receivers.

Live measurements showed that G1 E5 QP allowed for approximately three times faster acquisition compared to the legacy E5a-Q signal. And can transfer to tracking traditional E5a-Q easier to reduce computational cost and power.

It also provides crucial Time ambiguity resolution within +/- 2.4 seconds, a key requirement for connected devices that might only have coarse time information from other sources
