Abstract
A method of determining a position of a device includes obtaining an initial position of the device without using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellites. GNSS measurements are taken of radio frequency (RF) signals transmitted by the GNSS satellites. Initial residuals are determined based, at least in part, on GNSS measured distances determined from the at least a portion of the GNSS measurements and expected distances determined from the initial position. Errors of the GNSS measurements based on the RF signals are estimated. An optimization is performed using some of the estimated errors to produce a modified set of residuals, wherein the optimization is further based on H, wherein H represents a matrix with trigonometric functions of a geometry of the GNSS satellites. A cost minimization method of the modified set of residuals and actual geometry of the GNSS satellites (H) to determine an improved position of the device.
