1. A global navigation satellite system receiver, comprising:
- a mode selection unit configured to select one of a normal mode and an augmented mode;
a satellite capturing unit configured to be connected to a plurality of satellites through a normal channel for a position determination operation in the normal mode, and to be connected to a satellite, which satisfies a predetermined condition, from among the plurality of satellites, through an augmented channel for position correction in the augmented mode; and
a pseudo-range calculation unit configured to calculate a first pseudo-range of the satellite in the normal mode and a second pseudo-range of the satellite in the augmented mode, and to correct a pseudo-range of the satellite using the first and second pseudo-ranges.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for calculating a pseudo-range and position in a global navigation satellite system receiver. A first pseudo-range of a satellite is calculated for position determination of the global navigation satellite system receiver. A second pseudo-range of the satellite is calculated for position correction of the global navigation satellite system receiver. A differential operation is performed using the first pseudo-range and the second pseudo-range to eliminate an error. A more precise pseudo-range of the satellite is calculated using the differential pseudo-range.

7. A global navigation satellite system receiver, comprising:
-
a first receiver configured to calculate a position based on position information received from an external device; and a second receiver configured to calculate a position through a normal channel and to correct position determination through an augmented channel, which is not allocated as the normal channel, wherein the second receiver corrects a pseudo-range by calculating first pseudo-ranges of satellites for position determination, calculating a second pseudo-range for a satellite, which satisfies a predetermined condition, from among the satellites, for position correction, and performing a differential operation using the first and second pseudo-ranges of the satellite, and wherein the second receiver calculates a position of the global navigation satellite system receiver using the corrected pseudo-range. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for calculating a pseudo-range in a global navigation satellite system receiver, the method comprising the steps of:
-
calculating a first pseudo-range of a satellite of a plurality of satellites for position determination of the global navigation satellite system receiver, wherein the global navigation satellite system receiver communicates with the plurality of satellites through a normal channel for the position determination; calculating a second pseudo-range of the satellite for position correction of the global navigation satellite system receiver, wherein the global navigation satellite system receiver communicates with the satellite through an augmented channel for position correction; performing a differential operation using the first pseudo-range and the second pseudo-range to eliminate an error; and calculating a more precise pseudo-range of the satellite by the differential operation, wherein the augmented channel is not allocated as the normal channel.
