However, on the one hand, the generation mechanism and error components of ISB are not clear. On the other hand, it is unclear whether the ISB parameter should be added to the BDS-2/BDS-3 combined PPP. First, in order to solve these problems, an extended ISB mathematical model is proposed, which unifies the common errors between receiver and satellite, and extends the original ISB model. Second, to demonstrate the correctness of the new model, the components of the new ISB model are verified, and then it is used to explain whether the ISB parameter should be added to BDS-2/BDS-3 combined PPP. Furthermore, 41 stations from the MGEX network and precise products from COD (Center for Orbit Determination in Europe), GBM (Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum) and WUM (Wuhan University) are used to calculate and analyze the multi-GNSS PPP and ISB during day of year (DOY) 307–365, 2020. Finally, we propose to use a different estimation method of ISB with different precise products to improve the positioning accuracy and shorten the convergence time. The experimental results show that: (1) ISB parameter is composed of five parts: time system error, receiver hardware delay, signal distortion biases (SDB), MGEX-realized (multi-GNSS experiment) time scale and other unmodeled deviations. (2) Due to different receiver hardware delay, SDB and MGEX-realized time scale between BDS-2 and BDS-3, it is necessary to add an ISB parameter in BDS-2/BDS-3 PPP. (3) In multi-GNSS PPP, if the ISB changes greatly but the traditional constant method is used to estimate the ISB parameter, the impact on single station PPP coordinates can reach decimeters. The statistical results demonstrate that the RMS of GBM(CON(Constant)) in East (E), North (N) and Up (U) directions are 2.34 cm, 0.60 cm, and 1.59 cm, respectively, while the RMS of GBM(RWK(Random walk)) decreased by 59.8 %, 13.3 %, and 18.2 %, respectively.

To fully take advantage of the multi-frequency multi-system GNSS observations on precise point positioning (PPP) technology, this study aims to implement the triple-frequency ambiguity resolution (AR) for GPS, Galileo, and BeiDou-2 combined PPP using the raw observation model. The processing of inter-frequency clock bias (IFCB) estimation and correction in the context of triple-frequency PPP AR has been addressed, with which the triple-frequency uncalibrated phase delay (UPD) estimation is realized for real GPS observations for the first time. In addition, the GPS extra-wide-line UPD quality is significantly improved with the IFCB correction. Because of not being contaminated by the IFCB, the raw UPD estimation method is directly employed for Galileo which currently has 24 satellites in operation. An interesting phenomenon is found that all Galileo satellites except E24 have a zero extra-wide-lane UPD value. With the multi-GNSS observations provided by MGEX covering 15 days, the positioning solutions of GPS + Galileo + BeiDou triple-frequency PPP AR have been conducted and analyzed. The triple-frequency kinematic GNSS PPP AR can achieve an averaged 3D positioning error of 2.2 cm, and an averaged convergence time of 10.8 min. The average convergence time can be reduced by triple-frequency GNSS PPP AR by 15.6% compared with dual-frequency GNSS PPP AR, respectively. However, the additional third frequency has only a marginal contribution to positioning accuracy after convergence.

Kalman-filter-based undifferenced cycle slip estimation in real-time precise point positioning / Pan Li in GPS solutions, vol 23 n° 4 (October 2019)

Precisely correcting cycle slips caused by signal interruptions is crucial for recovering the data continuity. Most of the existing approaches usually employ only data of one epoch after the interruption for real-time cycle slip processing. In this study, we propose to introduce and estimate cycle slip parameters together with standard PPP parameters, such as position, ionospheric delay, and ambiguities in the case that possible cycle slips are detected, using a Kalman-filter-based procedure with the undifferenced and uncombined PPP model. The integer search strategy is used to fix cycle slips. To reduce the probability of wrong integer fixing, a strict integer validation threshold is suggested. As a result, it is not easy to fix all cycle slips with only one epoch of data. Our approach can be easily extended to use multi-epoch observations to enhance the cycle slip estimation. Once the cycle slips are correctly determined, continuous PPP can be achieved instantaneously. This new approach is tested and validated with three groups of experiments using GPS and GLONASS stations operated by the International GNSS Service from DOY 1–10, 2017, and a real vehicle kinematic data. Numerous experimental results showed that the proposed method can correctly fix the cycle slips for more than 99.5% of epochs suffering from re-convergence. On average, this method takes observation information from about 1.5–2.5 epochs to fix cycle slips and realize rapid re-convergence. Consequently, positioning performance is significantly improved.

Estimating and assessing Galileo satellite fractional cycle bias for PPP ambiguity resolution / Guorui Xiao in GPS solutions, vol 23 n° 1 (January 2019)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 23 n° 1 (January 2019) Titre : Estimating and assessing Galileo satellite fractional cycle bias for PPP ambiguity resolution Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Guorui Xiao, Auteur ; Pan Li, Auteur ; Lifen Sui, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes IGN] données Galileo [Termes IGN] erreur systématique [Termes IGN] positionnement par Galileo [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté Résumé : (Auteur) Due to the rapid deployment of the Galileo constellation, Galileo is now able to contribute to GNSS precise point positioning (PPP) ambiguity resolution (AR) with 17 operational satellites as of December 2017. We estimate the satellite fractional cycle bias (FCB) based on globally distributed MGEX stations and assess the Galileo FCB quality by a comparison with that of GPS and BDS. Results of 60 days indicate that the quality of Galileo wide-lane (WL) FCB is better than GPS and BDS in terms of data usage rate, residual distribution, as well as standard deviation of daily estimates. The RMS of Galileo WL FCB residuals is 0.071 cycles, while that of GPS and BDS are 0.089 and 0.117 cycles, respectively. The standard deviation of Galileo daily WL FCB is 0.010 cycles, while that of GPS and BDS is 0.018 and 0.043 cycles. We attribute the better quality of Galileo WL FCB to its signal modulation, AltBOC, which significantly compresses the multipath effect for pseudorange measurement. Within the Galileo constellation, the performance of In-Orbit Validation (IOV) satellites WL FCB is worse than that of Full Operational Capability (FOC) satellites as a result of a reduction in the power of the transmitted signal. The performance of the two highly eccentric satellites is comparable to other FOC satellites. The overall quality of Galileo narrow-lane (NL) FCB is slightly worse than that of GPS but better than that of BDS. The RMS of Galileo NL FCB residuals is 0.062 cycles, while that for GPS and BDS is 0.050 and 0.086 cycles respectively. In addition, the NL FCB quality of FOC, IOV (except E19), as well as the two eccentric satellites, shows no significant difference in terms of data usage rates and residuals. Galileo PPP AR solutions are conducted at 20 MGEX stations with 3-h sessions for 10 days. The positional biases of AR solutions are 0.7, 0.6, and 2.1 cm for east, north and up components respectively, while those for float solutions are 2.1, 1.1, and 2.7 cm, corresponding to the improvements of 67, 45, and 22%, respectively. These results demonstrate that, currently, Galileo FCB can be estimated with accuracy comparable with GPS and BDS, and the Galileo observations can bring an obvious benefit to ambiguity-fixed PPP.

Ambiguity resolved precise point positioning with GPS and BeiDou / Pan Li in Journal of geodesy, vol 91 n° 1 (January 2017)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 91 n° 1 (January 2017) . - pp 25 - 40 Titre : Ambiguity resolved precise point positioning with GPS and BeiDou Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Pan Li, Auteur ; Xiaohong Zhang, Auteur ; Fei Guo, Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : pp 25 - 40 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Navigation et positionnement [Termes IGN] combinaison au niveau des observations [Termes IGN] erreur systématique [Termes IGN] fractional cycle bias [Termes IGN] positionnement par BeiDou [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement par GPS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté [Termes IGN] simple différence Résumé : (Auteur) This paper focuses on the contribution of the global positioning system (GPS) and BeiDou navigation satellite system (BDS) observations to precise point positioning (PPP) ambiguity resolution (AR). A GPS + BDS fractional cycle bias (FCB) estimation method and a PPP AR model were developed using integrated GPS and BDS observations. For FCB estimation, the GPS + BDS combined PPP float solutions of the globally distributed IGS MGEX were first performed. When integrating GPS observations, the BDS ambiguities can be precisely estimated with less than four tracked BDS satellites. The FCBs of both GPS and BDS satellites can then be estimated from these precise ambiguities. For the GPS + BDS combined AR, one GPS and one BDS IGSO or MEO satellite were first chosen as the reference satellite for GPS and BDS, respectively, to form inner-system single-differenced ambiguities. The single-differenced GPS and BDS ambiguities were then fused by partial ambiguity resolution to increase the possibility of fixing a subset of decorrelated ambiguities with high confidence. To verify the correctness of the FCB estimation and the effectiveness of the GPS + BDS PPP AR, data recorded from about 75 IGS MGEX stations during the period of DOY 123-151 (May 3 to May 31) in 2015 were used for validation. Data were processed with three strategies: BDS-only AR, GPS-only AR and GPS + BDS AR. Numerous experimental results show that the time to first fix (TTFF) is longer than 6 h for the BDS AR in general and that the fixing rate is usually less than 35 % for both static and kinematic PPP. An average TTFF of 21.7 min and 33.6 min together with a fixing rate of 98.6 and 97.0 % in static and kinematic PPP, respectively, can be achieved for GPS-only ambiguity fixing. For the combined GPS + BDS AR, the average TTFF can be shortened to 16.9 min and 24.6 min and the fixing rate can be increased to 99.5 and 99.0 % in static and kinematic PPP, respectively. Results also show that GPS + BDS PPP AR outperforms single-system PPP AR in terms of convergence time and position accuracy.
