Recently, the Japanese multi-GNSS advanced demonstration of orbit and clock analysis precise point positioning (PPP) service and the new generation of the Australian/New Zealand satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS)-aided PPP service provide free and precise GNSS products that are directly broadcast through the navigation and geostationary earth orbit satellites, respectively. With the high quality of both products shown in this study, a 3D accuracy of centimeters can be achieved in the post-processing mode for the reduced-dynamic orbits of small LEO satellites having a duty cycle down to 40% and at sub-dm to dm level for the kinematic orbits. The results show a promising future for high-accuracy real-time POD onboard LEO satellites benefiting from the precise free-of-charge PPP corrections broadcast by navigation systems or SBAS.

Precise point positioning with decimetre accuracy using wide-lane ambiguities and triple-frequency GNSS data / Manoj Deo in Journal of applied geodesy, vol 14 n° 3 (July 2020)  

Public [article]  inJournal of applied geodesy > vol 14 n° 3 (July 2020) . - pp 263 – 284 Titre : Precise point positioning with decimetre accuracy using wide-lane ambiguities and triple-frequency GNSS data Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Manoj Deo, Auteur ; Ahmed El-Mowafy, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : pp 263 – 284 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Navigation et positionnement [Termes descripteurs IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes descripteurs IGN] bruit atmosphérique [Termes descripteurs IGN] combinaison linéaire [Termes descripteurs IGN] données GNSS [Termes descripteurs IGN] phase [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes descripteurs IGN] triple différence Résumé : (auteur) This paper proposes precise point positioning (PPP) methods that offer an accuracy of a few decimetres (dm) with triple frequency GNSS data. Firstly, an enhanced triple frequency linear combination is presented for rapid fixing of the extra wide-lane (EWL) and wide-lane (WL) ambiguities for GPS, Beidou-2 and Galileo. This has improved performance compared to the Melbourne-Wübbena (MW) linear combination, and has 6.7 % lower measurement noise for the GPS L1/L2 signals, 12.7 % for L1/L5 and 0.7 % for L2/L5. Analysis with tested data showed a 5–6 % reduction in time required to fix the N21 and N51 ambiguities. Once the EWL/WL ambiguities are fixed with the proposed linear combinations, three methods are presented that aim to provide positioning accuracy of a few dm. In the first approach, the three EWL/WL ambiguities in their respective phase equations are used to derive a low-noise ionosphere-free (IF) linear combination. The second method uses a low noise IF combination with two carrier-phase EWL/WL equations and a single pseudorange measurement. The third method uses a low noise IF combination with a single carrier phase EWL equation and two pseudorange measurements. These proposed methods can provide dm level positioning accuracy if carrier phase measurements with mm precision is tracked by the receiver. When comparing these combinations with a combination proposed in [], it is found that superior performance is achieved with the third method when carrier phase noise is >5–6 mm for GPS and Beidou-2 and >2–3 mm for Galileo. This model only requires the EWL ambiguity to be fixed which typically takes just one epoch of data. Thus, the user achieves instant decimetre level PPP accuracy.

On the detectability of mis-modeled biases in the network-derived positioning corrections and their user impact / Amir Khodabandeh in GPS solutions, vol 23 n° 3 (July 2019)

Care must therefore be exercised to continuously check the quality of the corrections and to detect the possible presence of mis-modeled biases in the network data. In network-RTK or its state-space implementation, PPP-RTK, quality control of the solutions is executed in two separate phases: the network component and the user component. Once confidence in the network-derived solutions is declared, a subset of the solutions is sent as corrections to a single-receiver user, thereby allowing the user to separately check the integrity of his network-aided model. In such a two-step integrity monitoring procedure, an intermediate step is missing, the integrity monitoring of the corrections themselves. It is the goal of this contribution to provide a quality control procedure for GNSS parameter solutions at the correction level, and to measure the impact a missed detection bias has on the (ambiguity-resolved) user position. New detection test statistics are derived with which the single-receiver user can check the overall validity of the corrections even before applying them to his data. A small-scale network of receivers is utilized to provide numerical insights into the detectability of mis-modeled biases using the proposed detectors and to analyze the impact of such biases on the user positioning performance.

Impact of predicting real-time clock corrections during their outages on precise point positioning / Ahmed El-Mowafy in Survey review, vol 51 n° 365 (March 2019)  

Public [article]  inSurvey review > vol 51 n° 365 (March 2019) . - pp 183 - 192 Titre : Impact of predicting real-time clock corrections during their outages on precise point positioning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ahmed El-Mowafy, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 183 - 192 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] décalage d'horloge [Termes descripteurs IGN] données GNSS [Termes descripteurs IGN] orbite [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes descripteurs IGN] temps réel Résumé : (Auteur) Real-time precise point positioning (RT-PPP) is a popular positioning method for natural hazard warning systems (NHWS) such as for monitoring tsunami and earthquakes. PPP relays on the use of precise orbits and clock corrections. Hence, the positioning accuracy of RT-PPP will significantly deteriorate when experiencing a discontinuity in receiving these corrections, for instance due to a temporary modem failure. The best available approach in this case would be to use the International Global Navigation Satellite Systems Service ultra-rapid (IGU) orbits and clocks that would result in a low positioning accuracy. In this paper, we present a simplified approach to a method that we recently proposed to bridge outages in the corrections and improve the RT-PPP accuracy compared with the use of IGU. In this method, the most recent IGU orbits are used as they are compatible with the RT orbits; however, the clock corrections are predicted as a time series using a linear model with four sinusoidal terms. The prediction errors resulting from this method, age of the model and its validity period are discussed. The impact of using the proposed approach is evaluated at a number of sites of known positions by comparing its performance to using IGU orbits and clocks. Moreover, the impact of using predicted corrections is assessed in different scenarios. The experimental results proved validity of the presented approach where positioning mean RMSE of less than 20 cm was maintained during the outage period.

Maintaining real-time precise point positioning during outages of orbit and clock corrections / Ahmed El-Mowafy in GPS solutions, vol 21 n° 3 (July 2017)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 21 n° 3 (July 2017) . - pp 937 – 947 Titre : Maintaining real-time precise point positioning during outages of orbit and clock corrections Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ahmed El-Mowafy, Auteur ; Manoj Deo, Auteur ; Nobuaki Kubo, Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : pp 937 – 947 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] horloge [Termes descripteurs IGN] International GNSS Service [Termes descripteurs IGN] international GPS service for geodynamics [Termes descripteurs IGN] interruption du signal [Termes descripteurs IGN] orbitographie [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes descripteurs IGN] précision décimétrique [Termes descripteurs IGN] prévision Résumé : (auteur) The precise point positioning (PPP) is a popular positioning technique that is dependent on the use of precise orbits and clock corrections. One serious problem for real-time PPP applications such as natural hazard early warning systems and hydrographic surveying is when a sudden communication break takes place resulting in a discontinuity in receiving these orbit and clock corrections for a period that may extend from a few minutes to hours. A method is presented to maintain real-time PPP with 3D accuracy less than a decimeter when such a break takes place. We focus on the open-access International GNSS Service (IGS) real-time service (RTS) products and propose predicting the precise orbit and clock corrections as time series. For a short corrections outage of a few minutes, we predict the IGS-RTS orbits using a high-order polynomial, and for longer outages up to 3 h, the most recent IGS ultra-rapid orbits are used. The IGS-RTS clock corrections are predicted using a second-order polynomial and sinusoidal terms. The model parameters are estimated sequentially using a sliding time window such that they are available when needed. The prediction model of the clock correction is built based on the analysis of their properties, including their temporal behavior and stability. Evaluation of the proposed method in static and kinematic testing shows that positioning precision of less than 10 cm can be maintained for up to 2 h after the break. When PPP re-initialization is needed during the break, the solution convergence time increases; however, positioning precision remains less than a decimeter after convergence.
