Earth shattering news for GNSS, commercial availability of Chip ScaleAtomic Clock (CSAC)

There's a lot of literature describing how a precise clock can
mitigate the strong correlation between the clock and vertical
position states, hence improve VDOP, improve integrity monitoring,
etc. Pratap Misra has written quite a bit on the topic.

An early paper on clock coasting (there were earlier experiments):

Sturza, Mark A., "GPS Navigation Using Tbree Satellites and a Precise
Clock", NAVIGATION, Vol. 30, No. 2, Summer 1983, pp. 146-156,

Can't find an on-line copy of this one:

“The Role of the Clock in a GPS Receiver” by P.N. Misra in GPS World,
Vol. 7, No. 4, April 1996, pp. 60–66.

A dissertation that involved flight testing with a Boeing 767 at the
FAA's Atlantic City test site:

Global Positioning System," Ph.D. Dissertation, Virginia Polytechnic
