Starting from the fact that can determine most of the elements within the pseudo-range measurement PR_sat(i) from the information provided by each satellite, we have the equation :

Indeed 4 measurements are needed, providing 4 equations with 4 unknows which are the receiver coordinates and the clock bias of the receiver. As the equation is highly non-linear, it is important to proceed to a linearization such as the Taylor expansion :

Thus, it is possible to retrieve the receiver position.
