SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS FOR A SATELLITE NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM RECEIVER TO SELECT A SUBSET OF TRACKING SATELLITES

摘要

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for a satellite navigational system receiver to select a subset of tracking satellites from the satellites in view are described. In one method, after selecting the satellite with a highest elevation, satellites are selected for the tracking subset by searching the sectors of an azimuth plane map in sequence.
