    摘要: A method comprising receiving, at a receiver, a plurality of signals from at least one remote source and selecting at least one selected signal in the plurality of signals. The method determines, using the at least one selected signal, a position of the receiver and receives correction data for improving the position of the receiver to a sub-wavelength accuracy. The method further determines motion of the receiver, generates, from the at least one selected signal, a motion-compensated correlation signal based on the determined motion of the receiver and uses the motion-compensated correlation signal to either (1) select the at least one selected signal to be used to determine the position of the receiver, (2) correct at least one of motion sensor errors or clock errors, or (3) both (1) and (2). Embodiments include a positioning system for performing the method.
