Abstract

A GNSS receiver includes a RF front end for receiving GNSS ranging signals, a navigation processor for calculating location from the ranging signals, and a repository of static data. The navigation processor includes the static data in the location calculation. Examples of static data include a digital elevation map, coordinates of tunnel entrances for use when the receiver resumes reception of the signals upon exiting a tunnel, and descriptions of structures in sufficient detail to enable multipath mitigation.
