Ambiguity-Free Method for Fast and Precise GNSS Differential Positioning

Methods based on integer ambiguity determination, such as the least-squares ambiguity decorrelation adjustment (LAMBDA) method, are currently used for precise global navigation satellite system (GNSS) differential positioning. In the present paper, the author proposes an ambiguity-free method based...
