Abstract
GPS is a satellite-based navigation system that is able to determine the exact position of objects on the Earth, sky, or space. By increasing the velocity of a moving object, the accuracy of positioning decreases; meanwhile, the calculation of the exact position in the movement by high velocities like airplane movement or very high velocities like satellite movement is so important. In this paper, two methods for positioning in very high velocities based on recursive least squares method and its combination with fuzzy logic are presented. Simulations on different data with different velocities show that proposed method can improve the accuracy of positioning more than 50%. In previous methods, the algorithm is quite dependent on the initial point, whereas in proposed method, this dependency is resolved.
