Abstract
A user equipment includes processor(s) configured to: determine a first acquired satellite vehicle (SV) list including first SV(s) from which a user equipment (UE) is receiving signals within a current epoch; for each first SV in the first acquired SV list, determine whether a first measurement error associated with the first SV indicates a line of sight (LOS) between the UE and the first SV; for each first SV in the first acquired SV list, in response to the first measurement error indicating the LOS between the UE and the first SV, add the first SV to an active SV list; determine whether a number of SVs in the active SV list meets a threshold; and in response to the number of SVs in the active SV list meeting the threshold, determine a position of the UE based on the signals received from the SVs in the active SV list.
