The GPS receiver is in possession of four pseudo ranges and determines four unknown coordinate values (x, y, x, and time) identifying the location of the GPS receiver and real time clock error. The process of solving for four pseudo range formulas simultaneously with each pseudo range formula having an unknown “x”, “y”, “z”, and time coordinates of the GPS receiver, results in identification of the coordinates and time of the GPS receiver. In a similar process, the GPS receiver receiving four GPS signals from four GPS satellites is able to determine four pseudo ranges.

The resulting values are then used to verify that the calculated positions of the GPS satellites are within 0.5 ms of the previous solution. If the GPS satellites are within 0.5 ms range of the prior solution then the real time clock error is estimated.
