1. An apparatus, comprising:
a wireless transmitter configured to transmit wireless network signals;
a measurement engine configured to generate a plurality of measurements based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals received by a GNSS wireless receiver, wherein the plurality of measurements includes a first measurement generated based on a first GNSS signal; and
one or more processors configured to:
determine whether the wireless transmitter is actively transmitting at least one wireless network signal having a frequency or harmonic frequency in a first frequency band during a time when the GNSS wireless receiver is receiving the first GNSS signal, the first frequency band being a frequency band of the first GNSS signal; and
responsive to determining that the wireless transmitter is actively transmitting at least one wireless network signal having a frequency or harmonic frequency in the first frequency band during the time when the GNSS wireless receiver is receiving the first GNSS signal, perform one or more of the following operations after the measurement engine has generated the first measurement and at least one additional measurement of the plurality of measurements: (i) a position calculation operation using a set of measurements that are from the plurality of measurements and apart from the first measurement or (ii) a clock bias calculation operation using one or more measurements that are from the plurality of measurements and apart from the first measurement.
