An ephemeris and clock correction calculation method is introduced first. It shows that the most important thing of computing UDRE is to find the worst user location （WUL） in the service volume. Then, a UDRE algorithm using AM is described to solve this problem. By using the covariance matrix of the error vector, the searching of WUL is converted to an analytic geometry problem. The location of WUL can be obtained directly by mathematical derivation. Experiments are conducted to compare the performance between the proposed AM algorithm and the exhaustive grid search （EGS） method used in the master station. The results show that the correctness of the AM algorithm can be proved by the EGS method and the AM algorithm can reduce the calculation time by more than 90%. The computational complexity of this proposed algorithm is better than that of EGS. Thereby this algorithm is more suitable for computing UDRE at the master station.展开更多
