Thus, we proposed a real-time fast-positioning model by introducing the regional between-satellite single-differenced (SD) ionospheric constraints into the undifferenced and uncombined PPP (UU-PPP). The line-of-sight ionospheric observables are extracted by the multi-GNSS (GPS + Galileo) UU-PPP method. The polynomial function with simple structure and high efficiency is applied to establish the real-time regional between-satellite SD ionospheric vertical total electron content (VTEC) model. The differential slant total electron content (dSTEC) variations retrieved from three VTEC models are validated with the between-satellite SD and epoch-differenced geometry-free combinations of dual-frequency phase observations. The average RMS values are 0.77, 0.78 and 0.47 TEC unit for the CLK93 real-time VTEC, CODE final GIM and regional between-satellite SD ionospheric VTEC model, respectively. In the positioning domain, the data of ten stations for 12 consecutive days in 2020 were used for implementing kinematic RTPPP with single-frequency (SF) and dual-frequency (DF) observations. Compared with the GPS + Galileo SF-RTPPP based on the GRoup And PHase Ionospheric Correction model, the initialization time of the SD ionospheric-constrained (SDIC) SF-RTPPP when converged to 0.2 m at the 68% confidence level can be improved from 58 to 32 min in horizontal and 72 to 49 min in vertical, and its positioning accuracy can be improved by 29.7 and 20.3% in the horizontal and vertical components, respectively. Meanwhile, the re-convergence errors of SDIC SF-RTPPP from the first epoch can be maintained at 0.15 m in three components. As to GPS + Galileo SDIC DF-RTPPP, the re-convergence time when converged to 0.1 m can be lower than 3 min in horizontal and 9 min in vertical, and the re-convergence errors at the first epoch could even be lower than 0.15 m in horizontal. Hence, the new positioning model can maintain high accuracy and improve the continuity of real-time kinematic positioning in a short time when the number of tracked satellites in the urban or canyon environment was greatly dropped due to signal blocking.
