Abstract
A satellite corrections generation system receives reference receiver measurement information from a plurality of reference receivers at established locations. In accordance with the received reference receiver measurement information, and established locations of the reference receivers, the system determines wide-lane navigation solutions for the plurality of reference receivers. The system also determines clusters of single-difference (SD) wide-lane floating ambiguities. A satellite wide-lane bias value for each satellite of a plurality of satellites is initially determined in accordance with fractional portions of the SD wide-lane floating ambiguities in the clusters and over-range adjustment criteria. A set of navigation satellite corrections for each satellite, including the satellite wide-lane bias value for each satellite, is generated and transmitted to navigation receivers for use in determining locations of the navigation receivers.
