Abstract
A method for estimating an integrity risk in a satellite navigation system includes receiving a plurality of navigation signals at a user system from at least one satellite, the plurality of navigation signals including data relative to the integrity of the satellite navigation system; and estimating the integrity risk using the data in the at least one user system. The estimating further includes forming a plurality of intervals of an integration variable of an integral function, estimating a maximum of the integrity risk for each interval, comparing the maximum of each interval to find an overall maximum of all the intervals; and using the overall maximum as an estimate of the integrity risk.
