Due to the FDMA multiplexing scheme, the conventional CDMA observation model has to be modified to restore the integer estimability of the ambiguities. This modification has a strong impact on positioning capabilities. In particular, the ambiguity resolution performance of this model is clearly weaker than for CDMA systems, so that fast and reliable full ambiguity resolution is usually not feasible for standalone GLONASS, and adding GLONASS data in a multi-GNSS approach can reduce the ambiguity resolution performance of the combined model. Partial ambiguity resolution was demonstrated to be a suitable tool to overcome this weakness (Teunissen in GPS Solut 23(4):100, 2019). We provide an exhaustive formal analysis of the positioning precision and ambiguity resolution capabilities for short, medium, and long baselines in a multi-GNSS environment with GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, and GLONASS. Simulations are used to show that with a difference test-based partial ambiguity resolution method, adding GLONASS data improves the positioning performance in all considered cases. Real data from different baselines are used to verify these findings. When using all five available systems, instantaneous centimeter-level positioning is possible on an 88.5 km baseline with the ionosphere weighted model, and on average, only 3.27 epochs are required for a long baseline with the ionosphere float model, thereby enabling near instantaneous solutions.

Evaluating the impact of higher-order ionospheric corrections on multi-GNSS ultra-rapid orbit determination / Xinghan Chen in Journal of geodesy, vol 93 n° 9 (September 2019)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 93 n° 9 (September 2019) . - pp 1347 - 1365 Titre : Evaluating the impact of higher-order ionospheric corrections on multi-GNSS ultra-rapid orbit determination Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Xinghan Chen, Auteur ; Maorong Ge, Auteur ; Haroldo Antonio Marques, Auteur ; Harald Schuh, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 1347 - 1365 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement du signal [Termes IGN] correction ionosphérique [Termes IGN] orbitographie par GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] retard ionosphèrique [Termes IGN] temps réel Résumé : (Auteur) The correction of higher-order ionospheric (HOI) delays remaining in the dual-frequency ionosphere-free combined observations is suggested after the confirmation of its impact on precise Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data processing. However, in the precise orbit determination (POD) for generating ultra-rapid orbits, the higher-order corrections are not always considered most likely because a RT ionospheric model needed for calculating the higher-order corrections is hardly available or the HOI impact is believed rather small compared to the accuracy of the predicted orbit. With the increasing requirement on the positioning performances from various applications, providing more accurate and reliable ultra-rapid orbits becomes an essential task of the real-time GNSS precise positioning services. In this contribution, the temporal–spatial characteristics of HOI effects on GNSS observables are investigated thoroughly using data collected from International GNSS Service (IGS) global ground stations and fluctuations of the higher-order delays up to several centimeters are detected during periods of high ionospheric activity. Hereafter, we evaluate the HOI effects on the multi-GNSS POD based on a network with globally distributed IGS stations. Results show that owing to the applied HOI corrections, the agreement of overlapping orbits can be improved significantly for all satellites and especially in radial direction. The three-dimensional RMS values of the overlapping differences are reduced from 1.6, 2.0, 4.6 and 1.7 to 1.0, 1.1, 3.4, and 1.5 cm for GPS, GALILEO, BDS, and GLONASS, respectively. Furthermore, the orbit improvement is also confirmed by the satellite laser ranging (SLR) observations over a 2-month time period where the STD of SLR residuals is reduced by HOI corrections from 6.4 to 5.3 cm for the BDS-IGSO satellites.

Influence of stochastic modeling for inter-system biases on multi-GNSS undifferenced and uncombined precise point positioning / Feng Zhou in GPS solutions, vol 23 n° 3 (July 2019)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 23 n° 3 (July 2019) Titre : Influence of stochastic modeling for inter-system biases on multi-GNSS undifferenced and uncombined precise point positioning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Feng Zhou, Auteur ; Danan Dong, Auteur ; Xin Li, Auteur ; Harald Schuh, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Navigation et positionnement [Termes IGN] bruit blanc [Termes IGN] décalage d'horloge [Termes IGN] erreur systématique inter-systèmes [Termes IGN] estimation statistique [Termes IGN] modèle stochastique [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis Résumé : (auteur) The focus of this study is on proper modeling of the dynamics for inter-system biases (ISBs) in multi-constellation Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) precise point positioning (PPP) processing. First, the theoretical derivation demonstrates that the ISBs originate from not only the receiver-dependent hardware delay differences among different GNSSs but also the receiver-independent time differences caused by the different clock datum constraints among different GNSS satellite clock products. Afterward, a comprehensive evaluation of the influence of ISB stochastic modeling on undifferenced and uncombined PPP performance is conducted, i.e., random constant, random walk process, and white noise process are considered. We use data based on a 1-month period (September 2017) Multi-GNSS Experiment (MGEX) precise orbit and clock products from four analysis centers (CODE, GFZ, CNES, and WHU) and 160 MGEX tracking stations. The results demonstrate that generally, the positioning performance of PPP in terms of convergence time and positioning accuracy with the final products from CODE, CNES, and WHU is comparable among the three ISB handling schemes. However, estimating ISBs as random walk process or white noise process outperforms that as the random constant when using the GFZ products. These results indicate that the traditional estimation of ISBs as the random constant may not always be reasonable in multi-GNSS PPP processing. To achieve more reliable positioning results, it is highly recommended to consider the ISBs as random walk process or white noise process in multi-GNSS PPP processing.

Improving multi-GNSS ultra-rapid orbit determination for real-time precise point positioning / Xingxing Li in Journal of geodesy, vol 93 n° 1 (January 2019)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 93 n° 1 (January 2019) . - pp 45 - 64 Titre : Improving multi-GNSS ultra-rapid orbit determination for real-time precise point positioning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Xingxing Li, Auteur ; Xinghan Chen, Auteur ; Maorong Ge, Auteur ; Harald Schuh, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 45 - 64 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] délai d'obtention de la première position [Termes IGN] orbite précise [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] positionnement par BeiDou [Termes IGN] positionnement par Galileo [Termes IGN] positionnement par GLONASS [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] Quasi-Zenith Satellite System [Termes IGN] temps réel Résumé : (auteur) Currently, with the rapid development of multi-constellation Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), the real-time positioning and navigation are undergoing dramatic changes with potential for a better performance. To provide more precise and reliable ultra-rapid orbits is critical for multi-GNSS real-time positioning, especially for the three merging constellations Beidou, Galileo and QZSS which are still under construction. In this contribution, we present a five-system precise orbit determination (POD) strategy to fully exploit the GPS + GLONASS + BDS + Galileo + QZSS observations from CDDIS + IGN + BKG archives for the realization of hourly five-constellation ultra-rapid orbit update. After adopting the optimized 2-day POD solution (updated every hour), the predicted orbit accuracy can be obviously improved for all the five satellite systems in comparison to the conventional 1-day POD solution (updated every 3 h). The orbit accuracy for the BDS IGSO satellites can be improved by about 80, 45 and 50% in the radial, cross and along directions, respectively, while the corresponding accuracy improvement for the BDS MEO satellites reaches about 50, 20 and 50% in the three directions, respectively. Furthermore, the multi-GNSS real-time precise point positioning (PPP) ambiguity resolution has been performed by using the improved precise satellite orbits. Numerous results indicate that combined GPS + BDS + GLONASS + Galileo (GCRE) kinematic PPP ambiguity resolution (AR) solutions can achieve the shortest time to first fix (TTFF) and highest positioning accuracy in all coordinate components. With the addition of the BDS, GLONASS and Galileo observations to the GPS-only processing, the GCRE PPP AR solution achieves the shortest average TTFF of 11 min with 7∘ cutoff elevation, while the TTFF of GPS-only, GR, GE and GC PPP AR solution is 28, 15, 20 and 17 min, respectively. As the cutoff elevation increases, the reliability and accuracy of GPS-only PPP AR solutions decrease dramatically, but there is no evident decrease for the accuracy of GCRE fixed solutions which can still achieve an accuracy of a few centimeters in the east and north components.

LEO enhanced Global Navigation Satellite System (LeGNSS) for real-time precise positioning services / Bofeng Li in Advances in space research, vol 63 n° 1 (1 January 2019)  

Public [article]  inAdvances in space research > vol 63 n° 1 (1 January 2019) . - pp 73 - 93 Titre : LEO enhanced Global Navigation Satellite System (LeGNSS) for real-time precise positioning services Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Bofeng Li, Auteur ; Haibo Ge, Auteur ; Maorong Ge, Auteur ; Liangwei Nie, Auteur ; Yunzhong Shen, Auteur ; Harald Schuh, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 73 - 93 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] affaiblissement géométrique de la précision [Termes IGN] étude de faisabilité [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] satellite de télécommunication [Termes IGN] simulation [Termes IGN] temps réel Mots-clés libres : LEO constellation enhanced GNSS Résumé : (Auteur) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has been widely used in many geosciences areas with its Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) service. However, GNSS still has its own bottleneck, such as the long initialization period of Precise Point Positioning (PPP) without dense reference network. Recently, the concept of PNTRC (Positioning, Navigation, Timing, Remote sensing and Communication) has been put forward, where Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations are recruited to fulfill diverse missions. In navigation aspect, a number of selected LEO satellites can be equipped with a transmitter to transmit similar navigation signals to ground users, so that they can serve as GNSS satellites but with much faster geometric change to enhance GNSS capability, which is named as LEO constellation enhanced GNSS (LeGNSS). As a result, the initialization time of PPP is expected to be shortened to the level of a few minutes or even seconds depending on the number of the LEO satellites involved. In this article, we simulate all the relevant data from June 8th to 14th, 2014 and investigate the feasibility of LeGNSS with the concentration on the key issues in the whole data processing for providing real-time PPP service based on a system configuration with fourteen satellites of BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), twenty-four satellites of the Global Positioning System (GPS), and sixty-six satellites of the Iridium satellite constellations. At the server-end, Precise Orbit Determination (POD) and Precise Clock Estimation (PCE) with various operational modes are investigated using simulated observations. It is found out that GNSS POD with partial LEO satellites is the most practical mode of LeGNSS operation. At the user-end, the Geometry Dilution Of Precision (GDOP) and Signal-In-Space Ranging Error (SISRE) are calculated and assessed for different positioning schemes in order to demonstrate the performance of LeGNSS. Centimeter level SISRE can be achieved for LeGNSS.
