In urban areas, multipath (MP) is one of the main error sources when tracking signals used in global navigation satellite systems. The received signals subjected to MP are the sum of several delayed replicas leading to biased estimations. This paper studies a sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) algorithm which mitigates MP effects. The proposed algorithm is based on a state-space model associated to a multicorrelator GPS receiver and on a Rao Blackwellized technique which allows to achieve good performance.
