First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method operative in a satellite receiver, comprising:
- receiving satellite state information from a server;
determining whether an erroneous satellite is present based on the satellite state information received from the server; and
when at least one erroneous satellite is present, restricting the use of a satellite signal received from the at least one erroneous satellite.

Abstract
Provided is a system and method for transmitting a satellite state to a satellite receiver to determine use or non-use of a satellite signal in positioning estimation. A satellite navigation system includes at least one satellite, a satellite control center for controlling the at least one satellite, and a server. The server transmits satellite state information about the at least one satellite identified through the satellite control center to the satellite receiver. The satellite receiver restricts the use of the satellite signal for positioning estimation when the satellite state is identified as erroneous.
