The mathematical definition of the class of VIB-estimators is introduced together with their pull-in regions and other properties such as probability bounds and success rate approximations. The vectorial formulation allows sequential block-by-block processing of the ambiguities based on a user-chosen partitioning. In this way, flexibility is created, where for specific choices of partitioning, tailored VIB-estimators can be designed. This wide range of possibilities is discussed, supported by numerical simulations and analytical examples. Further guidelines are provided, as well as the possible extension to other classes of estimators.

While PPP-RTK has been well achieved by using global navigation satellite system code division multiple access observables, GLONASS PPP-RTK is nonetheless challenging due to the nature of frequency division multiple access (FDMA) observables. In this work, we present a GLONASS PPP-RTK concept that takes advantage of the integer-estimable FDMA (IE-FDMA) model recently proposed in Teunissen (in GPS Solut 23(4):1–19, 2019. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10291-019-0889-0) to guarantee rigorous integer ambiguity resolution and simultaneously takes care of the presence of the inter-frequency biases (IFBs) in homogeneous and heterogeneous network configurations. When conducting GLONASS PPP-RTK based on a network of homogeneous receivers, code and phase observation equations are used to construct the IE-FDMA model, in which the IFBs are implicitly eliminated through reparameterization. For a network consisting of heterogeneous receivers, we exclude the code observables and develop a phase-only IE-FDMA model instead, thereby circumventing the adverse effects of IFBs. For verification purposes, we collect a set of five-day global positioning system (GPS) and GLONASS data from two regional networks: one equipped with homogeneous receivers and another with heterogeneous receivers. The results show that the GLONASS-specific network corrections, including satellite clocks, satellite phase biases, and ionospheric delays estimated by the two networks, are as precise as those of their GPS-specific counterparts. Via satellite clock and phase bias corrections, we succeed in fixing both GPS and GLONASS ambiguities, shortening the convergence time to 5 (12) min, compared to 11 (18) min of ambiguity-float positioning in the case of a homogeneous (heterogeneous) network with a data sampling rate of 30 s. For ambiguity-fixed positioning, the convergence time defined in this work also indicates the time to first fix since the positioning error converges to the centimeter level once successful integer ambiguity resolution is achieved. Adding ionospheric corrections further speeds up the initialization in the two networks, with the convergence time being reduced to 0.5 (3) min. Compared with GPS-only positioning, the integration of GPS and GLONASS yields an improvement of 8–34% in accuracy and leads to a reduction of 25–50% in convergence.

The Realization and evaluation of PPP ambiguity resolution with INS aiding in marine survey / Zhenqiang Du in Marine geodesy, vol 44 n° 2 (March 2021)  

Public [article]  inMarine geodesy > vol 44 n° 2 (March 2021) . - pp 136 - 156 Titre : The Realization and evaluation of PPP ambiguity resolution with INS aiding in marine survey Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Zhenqiang Du, Auteur ; Hongzhou Chai, Auteur ; Guorui Xiao, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 136 - 156 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes IGN] filtre de Kalman [Termes IGN] fractional cycle bias [Termes IGN] milieu marin [Termes IGN] positionnement inertiel [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] précision du positionnement [Termes IGN] qualité des données [Termes IGN] récepteur GNSS [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté [Termes IGN] trajet multiple Résumé : (auteur) The tightly coupled global navigation satellite system (GNSS) precise point positioning (PPP) and inertial navigation system (INS) can provide high-precision position, velocity and attitude information. The coupled system utilizes single receiver, which is particularly suitable for the environment without reference station, such as marine survey. In the former works, the integer ambiguity resolution of PPP/INS in terrestrial environment is researched. However, the GNSS observation is severely affected by the multipath effect in marine environment. In addition, the sideslip caused by wind and sea wave also impact float ambiguity estimation, consequently introducing difficulty for PPP ambiguity fixing. Therefore, the PPP/INS tightly coupled model with fixed ambiguity is proposed for marine survey. The correction model of INS gyroscope bias in closed-loop is deduced in detail. The influence of ship motion noise and multipath in marine environment is reduced by introducing the robust factor to the Kalman filter. The feasibility of the method is verified in a real marine experiment, with a detail evaluation of the data quality and positioning accuracy. The results show that the accuracy of PPP/INS can reach centimeter level after fixing the ambiguity in marine environment. Furthermore, the precise INS-predicted position can significantly shorten the re-fixed time of PPP/INS, which proves the efficiency of the proposed approach.

On the polarimetric variable improvement via alignment of subarray channels in PPAR using weather returns / Igor R. Ivić in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, Vol 59 n° 3 (March 2021)

Each channel provides a signal from a group of Transmit/Receive modules comprising a section of the antenna. Channels typically consist of a full receive path, often with an independent local oscillator (LO) clock source. Such arrangement provides for beamforming flexibility on receive which can be applied in a digital domain. Consequently, the channel-to-channel phase and magnitude alignment is critical to maximizing the performance of the digital beamforming process and the accuracy of resulting detections and measurements. Herein, a novel method to improve such alignment using weather returns and achieve the improvement in the polarimetric variable estimates is described.

GLONASS FDMA data for RTK positioning: a five-system analysis / Andreas Brack in GPS solutions, vol 25 n° 1 (January 2021)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 25 n° 1 (January 2021) . - n° 9 Titre : GLONASS FDMA data for RTK positioning: a five-system analysis Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Andreas Brack, Auteur ; Benjamin Männel, Auteur ; Harald Schuh, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 9 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes IGN] CDMA [Termes IGN] fréquence [Termes IGN] modèle ionosphérique [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté [Termes IGN] satellite GLONASS [Termes IGN] signal GLONASS Résumé : (auteur) The use of the GLONASS legacy signals for real-time kinematic positioning is considered. Due to the FDMA multiplexing scheme, the conventional CDMA observation model has to be modified to restore the integer estimability of the ambiguities. This modification has a strong impact on positioning capabilities. In particular, the ambiguity resolution performance of this model is clearly weaker than for CDMA systems, so that fast and reliable full ambiguity resolution is usually not feasible for standalone GLONASS, and adding GLONASS data in a multi-GNSS approach can reduce the ambiguity resolution performance of the combined model. Partial ambiguity resolution was demonstrated to be a suitable tool to overcome this weakness (Teunissen in GPS Solut 23(4):100, 2019). We provide an exhaustive formal analysis of the positioning precision and ambiguity resolution capabilities for short, medium, and long baselines in a multi-GNSS environment with GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, and GLONASS. Simulations are used to show that with a difference test-based partial ambiguity resolution method, adding GLONASS data improves the positioning performance in all considered cases. Real data from different baselines are used to verify these findings. When using all five available systems, instantaneous centimeter-level positioning is possible on an 88.5 km baseline with the ionosphere weighted model, and on average, only 3.27 epochs are required for a long baseline with the ionosphere float model, thereby enabling near instantaneous solutions.
