Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes a memory storing computer-executable instructions and at least one processor that accesses the memory and executes the instructions. The at least one processor filters received global navigational satellite system (GNSS) signals to identify valid satellites, based on receiving the GNSS signals, obtains a digital map of a predetermined target area around a reference position, identifies candidate satellites from the valid satellites, based on coordinates obtained by projecting positions of the valid satellites and the reference position in a first direction and the digital map, in a 3D space including the positions of the valid satellites and the reference position, and identifies at least one target satellite meeting a line of sight (LOS) at the reference position, based on coordinates obtained by projecting positions of the candidate satellites and the reference position in a second direction and the digital map.
