A moving receiver faces additional challenges because it needs to adjust to changes in the statuses of the signals received, including line-of-sight (LOS), multipath, non-LOS, or invisible. This paper proposes two new algorithms that can be used to enhance the accuracy of a moving receiver. The first algorithm is called Optimized Position Estimation (OPE). The OPE algorithm estimates the most likely paths and identifies the one with the optimal weight. The second algorithm is called Intelligent Signal Status Estimation (ISE). The ISE algorithm utilizes a self-organizing map machine-learning algorithm to estimate the probability of a change in signal status. The algorithms are tested using global positioning system C/A signals, which have over 50 changes in their statuses. The results obtained using these algorithms reveal that the accuracy is enhanced by as much as 96.3% (i.e., a 27-fold improvement) when compared to results using a conventional navigation algorithm.

A unified cycle-slip, multipath estimation, detection and mitigation method for VIO-aided PPP in urban environments / Bo Xu in GPS solutions, vol 27 n° 2 (April 2023)

The precise point positioning (PPP) technique, which can provide a global accurate positioning service using a single global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver, has attracted much attention. Nevertheless, due to the cycle slips and multipath effects in the GNSS signal, the performance of PPP is severely degraded in urban areas, which has a negative effect on the PPP/inertial navigation system (INS)/vision integrated navigation. Moreover, the carrier phase observations with un-modeled multipath cause false detection of small cycle slips and lead to deviation in the state variable estimation in PPP. Therefore, an effective cycle slip/multipath estimation, detection and mitigation (EDM) method is proposed. A clustering method is used to separate the cycle slips and multipath from the carrier phase observations aided by visual inertial odometry (VIO) positioning results. The influence of the carrier phase multipath on state variable estimation is reduced by adjusting the stochastic ambiguity model in the Kalman filter. The proposed EDM method is validated by vehicle experiments conducted in urban and freeway areas. Experimental results demonstrate that 0.2% cycle slip detection error is achieved by our method. Besides, the multipath estimation accuracy of EDM improves by more than 50% compared with the geometry-based (GB) method. Regarding positioning accuracy, the EDM method has a maximum of 72.2% and 63.2% improvement compared to traditional geometry-free (GF) and GB methods.

Improved GPS-based single-frequency orbit determination for the CYGNSS spacecraft using GipsyX / Alex V. Conrad in Navigation : journal of the Institute of navigation, vol 70 n° 1 (Spring 2023)

The contributions include the development and evaluation of procedures for single-frequency POD with GipsyX, improvement of CYGNSS orbit knowledge, and an assessment of its final accuracy. Ionospheric effects are mitigated using the GRAPHIC processing method, and spacecraft multipath effects are calibrated with an azimuth/elevation-dependent antenna calibration map. The method is demonstrated using comparable data from the GRACE mission, from which we infer the expected accuracy of the CYGNSS results. Processing more than 170 days of data from each mission, a 1σ CYGNSS orbit accuracy of 2.8 cm radial, 2.4 cm cross-track, and 6 cm in-track is demonstrated. We expect that achieving this level of performance will expand the set of future scientific investigations that can be undertaken using satellites equipped with single-frequency GNSS.

INS-assisted inter-system biases estimation and inter-system ambiguity resolution in a complex environment / Wenhao Zhao in GPS solutions, vol 27 n° 1 (January 2023)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 27 n° 1 (January 2023) . - n° 3 Titre : INS-assisted inter-system biases estimation and inter-system ambiguity resolution in a complex environment Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Wenhao Zhao, Auteur ; Genyou Liu, Auteur ; Ming Gao, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : n° 3 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] centrale inertielle [Termes IGN] erreur systématique inter-systèmes [Termes IGN] filtre de Kalman [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté [Termes IGN] système complexe [Termes IGN] trajet multiple Résumé : (auteur) The inter-system real-time kinematic (RTK) model in which multiple systems choose the same reference satellite uses more observations than the traditional intra-system RTK model; however, it is still difficult to accurately determine the differential inter-system biases (DISB) and inter-system ambiguity in a complex environment. We propose a tightly coupled inter-system RTK/INS model that uses the high-precision position information the inertial navigation system (INS) provides to assist in DISB estimation and inter-system ambiguity resolution. Vehicle experiments on urban roads were designed to verify the effectiveness of the method. The vehicle experiments consisted of a simulated rare satellite environment with a high cutoff elevation angle and a real complex environment with buildings and trees obscuration. A robust Kalman filter strategy is used to combat the effects of multipath and non-line-of-sight signals in real complex environments. The results indicate that with the help of INS, the standard deviation of phase and code DISB is reduced by 11 and 17%, respectively, in the simulated environment and by 33 and 18%, respectively, in the real complex environment. Compared with the intra-system RTK/INS model, inter-system RTK/INS mode 3D positioning root-mean-square error is reduced by 79% in the simulated environment and by 27% in the real complex environment. In the single-epoch mode, the ambiguity success rates of the inter-system RTK/INS model, inter-system RTK model, intra-system RTK/INS model and intra-system RTK model are 89, 74, 69 and 58%, respectively, in the simulated environment, and 68, 41, 64 and 12%, respectively, in the real complex environment.

Multipath mitigation for improving GPS narrow-lane uncalibrated phase delay estimation and speeding up PPP ambiguity resolution / Kai Zheng in Measurement, vol 206 (January 2023)  

Public [article]  inMeasurement > vol 206 (January 2023) . - n° 112243 Titre : Multipath mitigation for improving GPS narrow-lane uncalibrated phase delay estimation and speeding up PPP ambiguity resolution Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Kai Zheng, Auteur ; Lingmin Tan, Auteur ; Kezhong Liu, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : n° 112243 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] analyse en composantes principales [Termes IGN] atténuation [Termes IGN] correction du trajet multiple [Termes IGN] mesurage de pseudo-distance [Termes IGN] phase GPS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté [Termes IGN] temps de convergence [Termes IGN] trajet multiple Résumé : (auteur) Precise point positioning (PPP) has been recognized as a powerful tool for various geophysical applications. However, the long convergence time required to resolve a reliable ambiguity impedes its further application in time-critical scenarios. Although PPP ambiguity resolution (AR) can shorten the convergence time, its performance is subject to the quality of float ambiguity estimates and the uncalibrated phase delay (UPD), which can be contaminated by multipath errors. Furthermore, the observation residuals derived from PPP are very likely to be affected by the common-mode error (CME), thereby deteriorating the multipath modeling accuracy. The principal component analysis (PCA) is employed to mitigate the CME effect, and the multipath is modeled using a multipath hemispherical map (MHM). Consequently, the narrow-lane (NL) UPDs with multipath correction have better temporal stability and residual distributions than those without correction. Compared with sidereal filtering (SF), the MHM0.5 has comparable residual variance reduction percentages, indicating its capability of capturing high-frequency multipath. For static PPP AR, the averaged time to first fix (TTFF) can be reduced by 24.2% to about 26 min and the convergence time can be achieved within 16.2 min after multipath correction. The pseudorange multipath correction significantly contributes to shortening the TTFF and convergence time. Reducing the resolution of MHM increases the risk of extending the TTFF. For kinematic PPP AR with MHM0.5, the convergence time exhibits a remarkable improvement when compared with that of the uncorrected case (21.7 min versus 40.2 min), and 20% of the stations achieve convergence within 10 min. Meanwhile, a few stations only take one minute to achieve convergence. The contribution of the multipath correction to the fixing rate is comparatively small. After applying MHM0.5, the kinematic positioning accuracies are improved by 35.7%, 12.6%, and 24.4% to 1.26, 1.39, and 2.73 cm for the east, north, and up components, respectively.
