Abstract
A method of operating a global positioning receiver is provided. The method includes receiving a plurality of signals from a plurality of satellites. At least a measurement from and location of each satellite is determined based on the received plurality of signals. An approximate vehicle velocity vector is determined based on the received plurality of signals. A dot product between a line of sight between each satellite and a vehicle having the receiver and the determined vehicle velocity vector is determined. Each measurement associated with each determined dot product that is below a minimum dot product threshold is removed to obtain a resultant set of measurements. A position solution based on the resultant set of measurements is then determined.
