1. A positioning apparatus comprising:
- a satellite signal receiver which receives satellites'"'"' signals transmitted from the satellites,a base-station data receiver which receives a base-station positioning data from a base-station,a position estimating device which;
observes code pseudoranges and carrier phase integration values at the satellite signal receiver and the satellites by utilizing satellite data got by the satellite signal receiver;
sets up unknown values which includes integer ambiguity at the satellite signal receiver and the base-station, clock errors at the satellite signal receiver and the base-station, delays of an ionosphere at the satellite signal receiver and the base-station, delays of an troposphere at the satellite signal receiver and the base-station;
linear-approximates a position of the satellite signal receiver with a Linear Taylor series expansion about estimated positions of the satellite signal receiver;
sets up objective variables that include the integer ambiguities, the clock errors, the delays of the ionosphere, the delays of the troposphere, and the position of the satellite signal receiver;
sets up explanatory variables that include the carrier phase integration values, and the code pseudoranges observed by the satellite signal receiver and the base-station;
derives only one linear regression equation which includes the objective variables and the explanatory variables;
estimates the position of the satellite signal receiver.

Abstract
A mobile station (1) gets the carrier phase integration values and the code pseudorange which is based on the satellites'"'"' data transmitted from the satellites (SAT1-SATn) . The mobile station (1) gets the data including the delay data of the ionosphere from a navigation message. And the mobile station (1) gets the data including the delay data of the ionosphere from data transmitted from a base-station, and fits data together. Utilizing these data from the two data sources, the mobile station (1) sets one linear regression equation and estimates the own position.
