ML Estimation of Position in a GNSS Receiver using the SAGE Algorithm

In this paper, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the position in satellite based navigation systems is studied. Recent results have shown that this novel approach provides an interesting way of introducing prior information in the position estimation and that the estimator is consistent for large sample sizes. However, one of the main drawbacks of this approach is the lack of a computationally efficient optimization algorithm due to the...
