Abstract: The present disclosure is effective in easily estimating an integer value bias at a high speed. A processor of a positioning system, a positioning method, and a positioning station performs interference positioning through calculation processing based on positioning data of the base station and positioning data of the positioning station. A plurality of calculation processing items are performed in parallel with different time points as start time points. Thus, even in a case where a situation in which the time required for the calculation of a fix solution differs depending on time point at which time point the calculation processing starts, there is a possibility that one of a plurality of calculation processing items can calculate the fix solution at an earlier time than in a case where single calculation processing performs the calculation. Therefore, it is possible to easily estimate the integer value bias at the high speed.
