The cycle-slip detection is implemented by simultaneously applying two geometry-free phase combinations in order to detect more insensitive cycle-slips, and it is applicable for high data rate applications. The cycle-slip determination adaptively uses the predicted phase data and the code data. LAMBDA technique is applied to search for the cycle-slip candidates. The cycle-slip validation provides strict test criteria to identify the cycle-slip candidates under low phase noise. The reliability of the proposed algorithms is tested in different simulated scenarios. %U http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijno/2009/407231/
