GBPSs are known for their low cost and high flexibility, but most of them have difficulty in achieving rapid deployment and operation, since the coordinates of transmitters rely on external precise measurements. Several existing self-calibration methods based on carrier phase measurements require known points of GBPS transmitters or receivers, which implies dependence on external measurements. This paper proposes an autonomous coordinate establishment (ACE) method without using known reference points for GBPSs. ACE utilizes a kinematic receiver to collect carrier phase measurements and employs a three-step procedure to establish a regional coordinate system. In the first step, ACE uses the properties of matrix structures to decouple generalized ambiguities and coordinates. Then, ACE obtains the rough estimation of the transmitter coordinates via multi-dimensional scaling in the second step. In the third step, ACE refines the estimate by solving a least squares problem which would be difficult to solve without the previous two steps. Numerical simulations and a real-world experiment show that the coordinate estimation of ACE can achieve decimeter to centimeter-level accuracy. The proposed method enables rapid deployment and operation for GBPSs.

Stand-alone ground-based positioning systems can provide positioning services in the absence of GNSS signals and have tremendous application potential. For precise point positioning in ground-based systems, ambiguity resolution (AR) is a key issue. On-the-fly (OTF) AR methods are desirable for reasons of convenience. The existing methods usually linearize a nonlinear problem approximately by a series expansion that is based on an initial position estimation obtained by code measurements or measuring instruments. However, if the initial position estimation contains relatively large errors, the convergence of existing methods cannot be ensured. We present a new OTF-AR method based on the double difference square (DDS) observation model for ground-based precise point positioning, which involves only carrier phase measurements. The initial solution obtained from the DDS model is sufficiently accurate to obtain a float solution by linearization, and this step only requires the frequency synchronization of base stations. Further, if the clock differences of the base stations are accurately calibrated, a fixed solution can be obtained by employing the LAMBDA algorithm. Numerical simulations and a real-world experiment are conducted to validate the proposed method. Both the simulations and the experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve high-accuracy positioning. These results enable precise point positioning to be applied in situations where no reliable code measurements or other measuring instruments are available for stand-alone ground-based positioning systems.
