Abstract
A method for selecting a global positioning receiver includes receiving global positioning system signals from global positioning system receivers. The global positioning system receivers receive the global positioning system signals from corresponding global positioning system satellites. The method also includes determining a signal quality score of each received signal based on a signal drift and a phase precision of the corresponding signal, and selecting one of the received global positioning system signals having the highest signal quality score.
