Usually, a serial approach is used to calculate these products. To accelerate the computation speed and reduce the time delay, a multicore parallel estimation strategy for IFCBs, code, and phase OSBs by utilizing task parallel library (TPL) is proposed, the parallel computations, including precise point positioning (PPP), IFCBs, and OSBs estimation, being carried out on the basis of data parallelisms and task-based asynchronous programming. Three weeks of observables from the multi-GNSS experiment campaign (MGEX) network is utilized. The result shows that the IFCB errors of GPS Block IIF and GLONASS M+ satellites are nonnegligible, in which the GLONASS M+ satellite R21 shows the largest IFCB of more than 0.60 m, while those of other systems and frequencies are marginal, and the code OSBs present excellent stability with a standard deviation (STD) of 0.10 ns for GPS and approximately 0.20 ns for other satellite systems. Besides, the phase OSBs of all systems show the stability of better than 0.10 ns, wherein the Galileo satellites show the best performance of 0.01 ns. Compared with the single-core serial computing method, the acceleration rates for IFCBs and OSBs estimation are 3.10, 5.53, 9.66, and 17.04 times higher using four, eight, sixteen, and thirty-two physical cores, respectively, through multi-core parallelized execution.

While PPP-RTK has been well achieved by using global navigation satellite system code division multiple access observables, GLONASS PPP-RTK is nonetheless challenging due to the nature of frequency division multiple access (FDMA) observables. In this work, we present a GLONASS PPP-RTK concept that takes advantage of the integer-estimable FDMA (IE-FDMA) model recently proposed in Teunissen (in GPS Solut 23(4):1–19, 2019. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10291-019-0889-0) to guarantee rigorous integer ambiguity resolution and simultaneously takes care of the presence of the inter-frequency biases (IFBs) in homogeneous and heterogeneous network configurations. When conducting GLONASS PPP-RTK based on a network of homogeneous receivers, code and phase observation equations are used to construct the IE-FDMA model, in which the IFBs are implicitly eliminated through reparameterization. For a network consisting of heterogeneous receivers, we exclude the code observables and develop a phase-only IE-FDMA model instead, thereby circumventing the adverse effects of IFBs. For verification purposes, we collect a set of five-day global positioning system (GPS) and GLONASS data from two regional networks: one equipped with homogeneous receivers and another with heterogeneous receivers. The results show that the GLONASS-specific network corrections, including satellite clocks, satellite phase biases, and ionospheric delays estimated by the two networks, are as precise as those of their GPS-specific counterparts. Via satellite clock and phase bias corrections, we succeed in fixing both GPS and GLONASS ambiguities, shortening the convergence time to 5 (12) min, compared to 11 (18) min of ambiguity-float positioning in the case of a homogeneous (heterogeneous) network with a data sampling rate of 30 s. For ambiguity-fixed positioning, the convergence time defined in this work also indicates the time to first fix since the positioning error converges to the centimeter level once successful integer ambiguity resolution is achieved. Adding ionospheric corrections further speeds up the initialization in the two networks, with the convergence time being reduced to 0.5 (3) min. Compared with GPS-only positioning, the integration of GPS and GLONASS yields an improvement of 8–34% in accuracy and leads to a reduction of 25–50% in convergence.

These are often stable in the long term, though numerically different depending on the signal frequency, satellite system and receiver manufacturer. Based on the mixed-differenced model combining undifferenced pseudorange with epoch-differenced carrier phase observations, we present a multi-GNSS real-time precise clock estimation model considering correction of inter-satellite code biases (ISCBs). Pre-estimated receiver-dependent ISCB corrections are introduced to correct the inter-receiver, inter-satellite and inter-system biases largely. Then the number of estimated parameters is reduced to a manageable level for real-time estimation. Comparisons with post-processed data show that compared to undifferenced, epoch-differenced and non-bias-corrected mixed-differenced models, the proposed bias-corrected model can greatly reduce the precise clock offset systematic biases, especially for GLONASS and BeiDou. The test results show the root mean square data reductions are improved by up to 96% for GLONASS, 78% for BeiDou and 40% for GPS and Galileo.

Integer-estimable GLONASS FDMA model as applied to Kalman-filter-based short- to long-baseline RTK positioning / Pengyu Hou in GPS solutions, Vol 24 n° 4 (October 2020)

The integer-estimable frequency-division multiple-access (IE-FDMA) model succeeds in formulating a set of estimable GLONASS phase ambiguities and preserving the integer property, to which the classical integer ambiguity resolution, typically the least-squares ambiguity decorrelation adjustment (LAMBDA), becomes readily applicable. The initial assessment of the IE-FDMA model demonstrated instantaneous ambiguity resolution capability in case of short-baseline real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning based on ionosphere-fixed formulation, in which the data processing strategy is window (batch)-based least-squares estimation with window length ranging from one to a few epochs. Here, we extend the applicability of the IE-FDMA model to Kalman-filter-based, ionosphere-fixed, ionosphere-weighted, and ionosphere-free cases, which are, respectively, adoptable for short-, medium-, and long-baseline RTK positioning. To adapt the IE-FDMA model to the Kalman filter, we estimate, at each epoch, first the estimable ambiguities, then transform them into integer-estimable ones, and finally resolve them into correct integers. This enables the rigorous integer ambiguity resolution and, at the same time, eases the recursive construction of integer-estimable ambiguities. We analyze global positioning system (GPS) and GLONASS data of nine baselines with lengths varying from several meters to more than one hundred kilometers. The results demonstrate the feasibility of fast ambiguity resolution not only for the GLONASS phase-only short-baseline RTK positioning, but for the GPS + GLONASS medium- and long-baseline RTK positioning as well. In all cases, the fixed solution with faster (several-minutes) convergence and higher (centimeter-level) precision indicates the benefits from GLONASS ambiguity resolution as compared to the float solution. Moreover, the dual-system solution with decreased ambiguity dilution of precision (ADOP) and improved positioning precision confirms the advantages of integrating GLONASS with GPS in contrast to the GPS-only situation.

Assessing the latest performance of Galileo-only PPP and the contribution of Galileo to Multi-GNSS PPP / Fengyu Xiu in Advances in space research, vol 63 n° 9 (1 May 2019)  

Public [article]  inAdvances in space research > vol 63 n° 9 (1 May 2019) . - pp 2784 - 2795 Titre : Assessing the latest performance of Galileo-only PPP and the contribution of Galileo to Multi-GNSS PPP Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Fengyu Xiu, Auteur ; Shirong Ye, Auteur ; Pengfei Xia, Auteur ; Lewen Zhao, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 2784 - 2795 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] constellation Galileo [Termes IGN] erreur systématique inter-systèmes [Termes IGN] GalileoSat [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique [Termes IGN] positionnement par Galileo [Termes IGN] positionnement par GLONASS [Termes IGN] positionnement par GPS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] précision du positionnement [Termes IGN] résidu [Termes IGN] trajet multiple [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement de données GNSS Résumé : (auteur) By the end of 2016, the Galileo constellation had 4 in-orbit validation (IOV) satellites and 14 full operational capability (FOC) satellites, 17 of which were able to transmit signal in November 2017. Galileo has already had early operational capability (EOC). To assess the latest performance of the Galileo-only precise point positioning (PPP) and the contribution of Galileo to the Multi-GNSS PPP solutions, observations collected at 16 Multi-GNSS Experiment (MGEX) stations over ten days are used to realize the various PPP cases. The statistical results show that the three-dimensional positioning accuracy of Galileo static and kinematic PPP can reach centimeter level and decimeter level after convergence, respectively. The contribution of Galileo can improve the positioning accuracy by 29.49%, 29.96% and 23.70% for GPS kinematic PPP and 11.03%, 10.59% and 11.07% for GPS/GLONASS kinematic PPP solutions in the north, east and up components, respectively. The average convergence time can be reduced by 45.48% for GPS-only kinematic PPP and by 11.04% for GPS/GLONASS solutions by adding Galileo observations. Moreover, adding Galileo observations shortens the average convergence time by 30.45% and 7.8% for GPS-only and GPS/GLONASS static PPP solutions, respectively. Although the convergent positioning results of GPS and GPS/GLONASS static PPP solutions after the addition of Galileo measurements do not demonstrate as significant improvement as those of the kinematic PPP solutions, the positioning accuracy of the GPS/Galileo static PPP solutions compared to the GPS-only static PPP still demonstrates an improvement of approximately 25% on the east component. Furthermore, the GPS/Galileo internal system time bias (ISB) and observation residual are analyzed. The results show that the noise level of the GPS L1/L2 signals and the negative impact of multipath errors on the GPS pseudo-range observations for the L1/L2 signals are greater than those of Galileo E1/E5a signals, resulting in the residuals of GPS ionosphere-free code observations larger than those of Galileo code observations. However, the phase observation residuals of GPS and Galileo are of the same magnitude. Additionally, the one-day GPS/Galileo ISB is quite stable. Its stability described by standard deviation is approximately 0.34 ns.
