To optimize the quality of these ultra-rapid orbit products, we investigated the effects of the fitting arc length, an a priori Solar-Radiation Pressure (SRP) model, and the along-track empirical acceleration on the prediction of BDS GEO satellite orbits. The predicted orbit arcs of 24-h were evaluated through comparisons with the corresponding observed orbit arc and Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) observations. In both eclipse and non-eclipse seasons, accuracy of the orbit predictions obtained using a 48-h fitting arc length were better than those obtained using 24-h and 72-h fitting arc lengths. Although the overlapping precision of predicted orbits exhibited no obvious improvement when an a priori SRP model was employed, the systematic bias in the SLR residuals was significantly reduced. Specifically, the mean value of SLR residuals decreased from −0.248 m to −0.024 m during non-eclipse seasons and from −0.333 m to −0.041 m during eclipse seasons, respectively. In addition, when an empirical acceleration in the along-track direction was introduced, the three-Dimensional Root-Mean-Square (3D RMS) of overlapping orbits during eclipse seasons decreased from 2.964 to 1.080 m, which is comparable to that during non-eclipse seasons. Furthermore, the Standard Deviation (STD) of SLR residuals decreased from 0.419 to 0.221 m during eclipse seasons. The analysis of SRP estimates shows that the stability of SRP parameters was significantly enhanced after the introduction of along-track empirical acceleration in eclipse seasons. The optimal BDS GEO ultra-rapid orbit prediction products were yielded by using a 48-h fitting arc length, an a priori SRP model and an along-track empirical acceleration.

Determination of Helmert transformation parameters for continuous GNSS networks: a case study of the Géoazur GNSS network / Dinh Trong Tran in Geo-spatial Information Science, vol 26 n° 1 (March 2023)  

Public [article]  inGeo-spatial Information Science > vol 26 n° 1 (March 2023) . - pp 125 - 138 Titre : Determination of Helmert transformation parameters for continuous GNSS networks: a case study of the Géoazur GNSS network Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Dinh Trong Tran, Auteur ; Jean-Mathieu Nocquet , Auteur ; Ngoc Dung Luong, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : pp 125 - 138 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Systèmes de référence et réseaux [Termes IGN] données GNSS [Termes IGN] International Terrestrial Reference Frame [Termes IGN] méthode des moindres carrés [Termes IGN] transformation de coordonnées [Termes IGN] transformation de Helmert [Termes IGN] valeur aberrante Résumé : (auteur) In this paper, we propose an approach to determine seven parameters of the Helmert transformation by transforming the coordinates of a continuous GNSS network from the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) to the International Terrestrial Reference Frame. This includes (1) converting the coordinates of common points from the global coordinate system to the local coordinate system, (2) identifying and eliminating outliers by the Dikin estimator, and (3) estimating seven parameters of the Helmert transformation by least squares (LS) estimation with the “clean” data (i.e. outliers removed). Herein, the local coordinate system provides a platform to separate points’ horizontal and vertical components. Then, the Dikin estimator identifies and eliminates outliers in the horizontal or vertical component separately. It is significant because common points in a continuous GNSS network may contain outliers. The proposed approach is tested with the Géoazur GNSS network with the results showing that the Dikin estimator detects outliers at 6 out of 18 common points, among which three points are found with outliers in the vertical component only. Thus, instead of eliminating all coordinate components of these six common points, we only eliminate all coordinate components of three common points and only the vertical component of another three common points. Finally, the classical LS estimation is applied to “clean” data to estimate seven parameters of the Helmert transformation with a significant accuracy improvement. The Dikin estimator’s results are compared to those of other robust estimators of Huber and Theil-Sen, which shows that the Dikin estimator performs better. Furthermore, the weighted total least-squares estimation is implemented to assess the accuracy of the LS estimation with the same data. The inter-comparison of the seven estimated parameters and their standard deviations shows a small difference at a few per million levels (E-6).

Design and performance evaluation of a novel ranging signal based on an LEO satellite communication constellation / Jingfang Su in Geo-spatial Information Science, vol 26 n° 1 (March 2023)  

Public [article]  inGeo-spatial Information Science > vol 26 n° 1 (March 2023) . - pp 107 - 124 Titre : Design and performance evaluation of a novel ranging signal based on an LEO satellite communication constellation Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Jingfang Su, Auteur ; Jia Su, Auteur ; Qingwu Yi, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : pp 107 - 124 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement du signal [Termes IGN] bruit blanc [Termes IGN] orbite basse [Termes IGN] rapport signal sur bruit [Termes IGN] transformation de Fourier [Termes IGN] transformation inverse Résumé : (auteur) Driven by improvements in satellite internet and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) navigation augmentation, the integration of communication and navigation has become increasingly common, and further improving navigation capabilities based on communication constellations has become a significant challenge. In the context of the existing Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communication systems, this paper proposes a new ranging signal design method based on an LEO satellite communication constellation. The LEO Satellite Communication Constellation Block-type Pilot (LSCC-BPR) signal is superimposed on the communication signal in a block-type form and occupies some of the subcarriers of the OFDM signal for transmission, thus ensuring the continuity of the ranging pilot signal in the time and frequency domains. Joint estimation in the time and frequency domains is performed to obtain the relevant distance value, and the ranging accuracy and communication resource utilization rate are determined. To characterize the ranging performance, the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is selected as an evaluation criterion. Simulations show that when the number of pilots is 2048 and the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) is 0 dB, the ranging accuracy can reach 0.8 m, and the pilot occupies only 50% of the communication subcarriers, thus improving the utilization of communication resources and meeting the public demand for communication and location services.
