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.

The Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) technique is a mature tool to achieve centimeter-level positioning accuracy in open-sky areas. However, the users who drive under dense urban conditions are always confronted with harsh global navigation satellite system (GNSS) environments. Skyscrapers and overpasses block the signals and reduce the number of visible satellites, making it difficult to achieve continuous and precise positioning. Considering that the road is relatively smooth in most urban areas, vehicles are expected to travel on the same plane when they are close to each other. The road plane information is a promising candidate to enhance the performance of the RTK method in constrained environments. In this paper, we propose a plane-constrained RTK (PCRTK) method using the positioning information from cooperative vehicles. In a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) network, the positions of cooperative vehicles are used to fit a road plane for the target vehicle. The parameters of the plane fitting are treated as new measurements to enhance the performance of the float estimator. The relationship between the plane parameters and the state of the estimator is derived in our study. To validate the performance of the proposed method, several experiments with a four-vehicle fleet were carried out in open-sky areas and dense urban areas in Beijing, China. Simulations and experimental results show that the proposed method can take advantage of the plane constraint and obtain more accurate positioning results compared to the traditional RTK method.

A method to determine secondary codes and carrier phases of short snapshot signals / Xiao Liu in Navigation : journal of the Institute of navigation, vol 69 n° 4 (Fall 2022)  

Public [article]  inNavigation : journal of the Institute of navigation > vol 69 n° 4 (Fall 2022) . - n° 541 Titre : A method to determine secondary codes and carrier phases of short snapshot signals Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Xiao Liu, Auteur ; Pau Closas, Auteur ; Adria Gusi-Amigó, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 541 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement du signal [Termes IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes IGN] phase [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes IGN] signal GNSS [Termes IGN] temps instantané Résumé : (auteur) Recently, the Snapshot Real-Time Kinematic (SRTK) technique was demonstrated, which aims at achieving high accuracy navigation solutions with a very short signal collection. The main challenge in implementing SRTK is the generation of valid carrier-phase measurements, which relies on a data bit ambiguity (DBA) resolution process. For pilot signals, this step is equivalent to the correct selection of secondary code indexes (SCIs) from the ambiguous sets obtained from a multi-hypotheses (MH) acquisition process. Currently, SCI ambiguities are solved independently for each satellite. However, this method is ineffective when the snapshot signal is relatively short. In order to tackle this problem, this article proposes a new method that makes use of assistance data and processes information from all satellites to jointly solve the DBA issue. This new method is shown to be more effective in determining the correct SCI and enabling valid snapshot carrier-phase measurements, largely expanding the scope of high-accuracy snapshot positioning.

PPP-RTK: from common-view to all-in-view GNSS networks / Baocheng Zhang in Journal of geodesy, vol 96 n° 12 (December 2022)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 96 n° 12 (December 2022) . - n° 102 Titre : PPP-RTK: from common-view to all-in-view GNSS networks Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Baocheng Zhang, Auteur ; Pengyu Hou, Auteur ; Robert Odolinski, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 102 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes IGN] erreur de phase [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] précision du positionnement [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté Résumé : (auteur) Integer ambiguity resolution-enabled precise point positioning (PPP), otherwise known as PPP real-time kinematic (PPP-RTK), recovers the integer nature of ambiguities at a user receiver by delivering the satellite phase biases (SPBs) estimated from a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) network. Due to the rank-deficiency existing between the satellite and receiver phase biases and the ambiguities, the formulation of PPP-RTK model needs to choose a set of unknown parameters as the datum (or the S-basis). Despite the fact that there are non-unique datum choices, one prefers a PPP-RTK model where the estimable SPBs contain a minimum number of datum ambiguities. We will show that otherwise there will be discontinuities occurring in datum ambiguities that will lead to unfavorable jumps in the estimated SPBs and frequent ambiguity resolution (re-)initialization on the user side. For this to occur one normally restricts to a common-view (CV) network, where the satellites are commonly visible to all receivers involved, and constructs the PPP-RTK model by choosing the phase biases and the ambiguities, pertaining to one receiver, as the datum. In doing so the CV model is capable of estimating the SPBs with each bias containing only one datum ambiguity. In this contribution we extend the CV model to an all-in-view (AV) network case where the satellites tracked can differ across receivers, but at least one satellite is commonly visible; this is practical as the network size is normally consisting of baseline lengths of several hundreds of kilometers. Contrary to the CV model, in the AV model the phase biases and the ambiguities pertaining to one satellite is selected as the datum, such that, the number of datum ambiguities entering into the estimable SPBs is always at the minimum as the SPBs are formulated in a between-satellite single-differenced form. The benefits with AV model are that it relieves the stringent satellite visibility as required by the CV model and, at the same time, reduces to the best possible extent any jumps in the estimated SPBs as well as the necessary ambiguity resolution (re-)initialization on the user side. Experiments conducted using multi-GNSS data collected in both CV and AV networks verify that the AV model always outperforms the CV one, as measured by both the time-to-first-fix as well as the positioning accuracy when compared to very precise benchmark coordinates.

PPP–RTK theory for varying transmitter frequencies with satellite and terrestrial positioning applications / Peter J.G. Teunissen in Journal of geodesy, vol 96 n° 11 (November 2022)

The generalization is based on the integer-estimability theory of Teunissen (A new GLONASS FDMA model. GPS Solutions, 2019). As the theory and associated algorithms provided are generally applicable, they apply to satellite-based carrier-phase positioning as well as to terrestrial interferometric sensory networks. Based on an identification of the constraints imposed on the admissible ambiguity transformations by PPP–RTK, a fundamental network+user condition is found that determines whether PPP–RTK is possible or not. The discriminating contributions of both the network and user observation equations to this PPP–RTK condition are analysed, followed by a description of PPP–RTK enabling classes of measurement scenarios.
