A method of, apparatus for, and computer-readable medium for rapid, real time
kinematics
determination requiring lowered information transmission for position updates than
traditional RTK systems. Position signals are received from a base station and
roving system and a compressed position signal is received from the base station.
A position estimate using an integrated method is determined using the received
position signals from the base station and the roving system and the compressed
position signal from the base station. Ambiguity resolution of the position estimate
is enhanced by applying a quality control procedure using derived validation criteria.
A second position estimate is derived based on the enhanced ambiguity resolution.
Because of the use of the compressed position signal smaller transmissions may
be performed at a more rapid rate providing a higher position update rate.
