Such system already exists, is called IMES, uses L1 band and is supported by standard Ublox 8 firmware.

Hi

But, by their nature, not useful for timing or precision navigation. They are simply
a solution to the “feed you coupons at the mall” issue. Since they run as an independent
system (they have their own ID’s) the direct “pollution” issue on a GPSDO is eliminated.
You still have the previously mentioned receiver dynamic range questions.
