1. A method for mitigating multipath effects in a satellite-signal receiver, comprising:
- computing at least one pseudorange residual as a function of a measured pseudorange to a given satellite and an expected pseudorange to the given satellite; and
when the pseudorange residual satisfies a given threshold, applying the measured pseudorange to a filter.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for mitigating multipath effects in a satellite signal receiver is described. In one example, measured pseudoranges are obtained from the satellite signal receiver to a plurality of satellites. For each measured pseudorange: an expected pseudorange is derived from a sequential estimation filter in the satellite signal receiver. The measured pseudorange and the expected pseudorange are differenced to compute a pseudorange residual. The measured pseudorange is applied to the sequential estimation filter only if the pseudorange residual is within a window.
