The process from which a GPS receiver determines its position involves a few stages. One of them implies identifying and tracking the visible satellites using a pseudo random code that identifies univocally the satellite. This process includes huge computing that results in high hardware requirements. Proposed here is a pseudo random number generation method in order to obtain the visible satellites reducing the computation needed on a conventional GPS receiver. The proposed method has been tested using the PRN of the 32 GPS constellation satellites proving that detection can be achieved using up to one-third of the computation needed on the traditional method and reducing the power consumption in the same scale.
