In undifferenced GNSS solutions, the quality of orbit and clock products significantly influences the resulting position accuracy; therefore, for precise positioning in real time, the corrections for orbits and clocks are generated and distributed to users. In this research, we assess the quality and the availability of real-time CNES orbits and clocks for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou-2 separated by satellite blocks and types, as well as the product quality changes over time. We calculate the signal-in-space ranging error (SISRE) as the main orbit and clock quality indicator. Moreover, we employ independent orbit validation based on satellite laser ranging. We found that the most accurate orbits are currently available for GPS. However, Galileo utmost stable atomic clocks compensate for systematic errors in Galileo orbits. As a result, the SISRE for Galileo is lower than that for GPS, equaling 1.6 and 2.3 cm for Galileo and GPS, respectively. The GLONASS satellites, despite the high quality of their orbits, are characterized by poor quality of clocks, and together with BeiDou-2 in medium and geosynchronous inclined orbits, are characterized by SISRE of 4–6 cm. BeiDou-2 in geostationary orbits is characterized by large orbital errors and the lowest availability of real-time orbit and clock corrections due to a large number of satellite maneuvers. The quality of GNSS orbit and clock corrections changes over time and depends on satellite type, block, orbit characteristics, onboard atomic clock, and the sun elevation above the orbital plane.

In low-cost low-precision micro-electromechanical system (MEMS)-based INS/GPS integration navigation systems, one of the major concerns is high-level stochastic noise and uncertainties existing in INS sensors and complex model of real noisy data. In such uncertainty-oriented environments, an intelligence structure with extra degrees of freedom which can handle and model a high-level of uncertainties in INS sensors, and an efficient denoising technique as a precursor to the intelligence structure can be efficient solutions. Our approach to these problems is taken in different steps. First, a denoising technique based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is used to provide more accurate INS sensor outputs and better generalization ability. Second, an optimized interval type-2 fuzzy neural network is used to model and handle a high-level of uncertainties efficiently and estimate the positioning error of INS sensors when GPS signals are blocked, and still meet both accuracy maximization and complexity minimization. Fast learning and convergence of the algorithm and less computational complexity can be achieved by using an extended Kalman filter in the learning of algorithm and an accurate and simple type-reduction, respectively, which can be utilized in real-time applications with significant performance. The results of EMD-based denoising technique, as a preprocessing phase, verify superior performance in comparison with the discrete wavelet transform denoising method in the signal-to-noise ratio improvement for raw and noisy signals of INS sensors. To verify the effectiveness of our proposed model, we applied challenging conditions consisting of low-cost low-precision inertial sensors based on MEMS technology, long-term outages of GPS satellites, a high-speed experimental test vehicle and noisy real-world data in the real-time flight experiments. The achieved experimental accuracies are compared with the results that we have achieved in other methods, and our proposed method verifies significant improvements.

Such applications require high integrity, availability, and continuity of the positioning service. Integrity is assessed by the definition of a protection level, which is an estimation of the maximum positioning error at extremely low probability levels. The emergence of multi-frequency civilian signals and the availability of satellite-based augmentation systems improve the modeling of ionospheric disturbances considerably. As a result, in many applications the tropospheric delay tends to become one of the limiting factors of positioning—especially at low elevation angles. The currently adopted integrity concepts employ a global constant to model the variance of the residual tropospheric delay error. We introduce a new approach to derive residual tropospheric delay error models using the extreme value analysis technique. Seventeen years of global numerical weather model fields are analyzed, and new residual error models are derived for some recently developed tropospheric delay models. Our approach provides models that consider both the geographical location and the seasonal variation of meteorological parameters. Our models are validated with a 17-year-long time series of zenith tropospheric delay estimates as provided by the International GNSS Service. The results show that the developed models are still conservative, while the maximal residual error of the tropospheric delay is still improved by 39–55%. This improvement yields higher service availability and continuity in safety-of-life applications of GNSS.

Soil moisture monitoring is one of the most important applications of the GNSS-IR technique. This manuscript presents the main ideas and implementation decisions needed to write the Python code for software tools that transform RINEX format observation and navigation files into an appropriate format for GNSS-IR (which includes the SNR observations and the azimuth and elevation of the satellites) and to determine the reflection height and the adjusted phase and amplitude values of the interferometric wave for each individual satellite track. The main goal of the manuscript is to share the software with the scientific community to introduce new users to the GNSS-IR technique.

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.
