Abstract

Systems and methods for averaging satellite sigmas and readmitting excluded satellite measurements into differential corrections and integrity monitors are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises: calculating a first RFI based averaged sigma and a second RFI based averaged sigma, wherein the first RFI based averaged sigma includes a sigma for the excluded satellite measurement and wherein the second RFI based averaged sigma does not include the sigma for the excluded satellite measurement; and, readmitting the excluded satellite measurement into either a differential correction broadcast or a respective integrity monitor when the first RFI based averaged sigma is less than or equal to the second RFI based averaged sigma.
