Zusammenfassung:A satellite navigation receiver and associated methods are described that can provide improved integer ambiguity resolution and more accurate positioning information. A modified BIE process (307) may be utilized to enable the receiver to perform the integer ambiguity resolution more optimally. The output of the modified BIE process may be time-domain smoothed (308) to provide a solution which is smoother in ambiguity space, and therefore also provide a position solution that is smoother in time. Transitions between an ambiguity-determined solution to a float solution, when necessary, may be smoothed in time. A weighting scheme (310) may dynamically blend the ambiguity-determined solution and the float solution to leverage the advantages of both solutions, such as faster pull-in, higher accuracy, and more stable and smooth performance.
