Positioning receiver and positioning method for user equipment

A positioning receiving apparatus comprising:

• a pseudo distance calculating section that calculates times of arrival of radio waves based on communication with a plurality of base stations and that calculates pseudo distance data from the plurality of base stations based on the calculated times of arrival of radio waves;
• a position coordinate calculating section that calculates position coordinates based on the calculated pseudo distance data from the plurality of base stations;
• a Doppler shift amount calculating section that calculates amounts of Doppler shift of carrier waves from the plurality of base stations, based on the communication with the plurality of base stations;
• and
• a controlling section that compares the calculated amounts of Doppler shift with a reference value, applies weight to the pseudo distance data acquired from base stations from which smaller amounts of Doppler shift that the reference value are calculated, according to a time having passed from a time when the pseudo distance is acquired, and supplies the pseudo distance data to which the weight is applied, to the position coordinate calculating section.
