A Novel Method for Optimum Global Positioning System Satellite Selection Based on a Modified Genetic Algorithm.

In this paper, a novel method for selecting a navigation satellite subset for a global positioning system (GPS) based on a genetic algorithm is presented. This approach is based on minimizing the factors in the geometric dilution of precision (GDOP) using a modified genetic algorithm (MGA) with an e...
