The integer-estimable frequency-division multiple-access (IE-FDMA) model succeeds in formulating a set of estimable GLONASS phase ambiguities and preserving the integer property, to which the classical integer ambiguity resolution, typically the least-squares ambiguity decorrelation adjustment (LAMBDA), becomes readily applicable. The initial assessment of the IE-FDMA model demonstrated instantaneous ambiguity resolution capability in case of short-baseline real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning based on ionosphere-fixed formulation, in which the data processing strategy is window (batch)-based least-squares estimation with window length ranging from one to a few epochs. Here, we extend the applicability of the IE-FDMA model to Kalman-filter-based, ionosphere-fixed, ionosphere-weighted, and ionosphere-free cases, which are, respectively, adoptable for short-, medium-, and long-baseline RTK positioning. To adapt the IE-FDMA model to the Kalman filter, we estimate, at each epoch, first the estimable ambiguities, then transform them into integer-estimable ones, and finally resolve them into correct integers. This enables the rigorous integer ambiguity resolution and, at the same time, eases the recursive construction of integer-estimable ambiguities. We analyze global positioning system (GPS) and GLONASS data of nine baselines with lengths varying from several meters to more than one hundred kilometers. The results demonstrate the feasibility of fast ambiguity resolution not only for the GLONASS phase-only short-baseline RTK positioning, but for the GPS + GLONASS medium- and long-baseline RTK positioning as well. In all cases, the fixed solution with faster (several-minutes) convergence and higher (centimeter-level) precision indicates the benefits from GLONASS ambiguity resolution as compared to the float solution. Moreover, the dual-system solution with decreased ambiguity dilution of precision (ADOP) and improved positioning precision confirms the advantages of integrating GLONASS with GPS in contrast to the GPS-only situation.

The estimated DD ionospheric delay derived from the Kalman-filter floating solution is adopted to modify the floating NL ambiguities. Modified by the smooth DD ionospheric delay, the NL ambiguity residuals are mostly within 0.5 cycles over medium-long baselines, showing a significant improvement in contrast to the classical TCAR method. The positioning performances of the modified method are even better than the LAMBDA method over 72 and 634 km baselines. As the ambiguity can be correctly fixed just after several epochs, high-precision positioning can be achieved in a very short time.

On-the-fly ambiguity resolution involving only carrier phase measurements for stand-alone ground-based positioning systems / Tengfei Wang in GPS solutions, vol 23 n° 2 (April 2019)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 23 n° 2 (April 2019) Titre : On-the-fly ambiguity resolution involving only carrier phase measurements for stand-alone ground-based positioning systems Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Tengfei Wang, Auteur ; Zheng Yao, Auteur ; Mingquan Lu, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes descripteurs IGN] compensation Lambda [Termes descripteurs IGN] double différence [Termes descripteurs IGN] mesurage de phase [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement absolu [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes descripteurs IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté [Termes descripteurs IGN] station permanente Résumé : (Auteur) Despite the wide use of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS), its performance can be severely degraded due to blockage and vulnerability to interference. Stand-alone ground-based positioning systems can provide positioning services in the absence of GNSS signals and have tremendous application potential. For precise point positioning in ground-based systems, ambiguity resolution (AR) is a key issue. On-the-fly (OTF) AR methods are desirable for reasons of convenience. The existing methods usually linearize a nonlinear problem approximately by a series expansion that is based on an initial position estimation obtained by code measurements or measuring instruments. However, if the initial position estimation contains relatively large errors, the convergence of existing methods cannot be ensured. We present a new OTF-AR method based on the double difference square (DDS) observation model for ground-based precise point positioning, which involves only carrier phase measurements. The initial solution obtained from the DDS model is sufficiently accurate to obtain a float solution by linearization, and this step only requires the frequency synchronization of base stations. Further, if the clock differences of the base stations are accurately calibrated, a fixed solution can be obtained by employing the LAMBDA algorithm. Numerical simulations and a real-world experiment are conducted to validate the proposed method. Both the simulations and the experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve high-accuracy positioning. These results enable precise point positioning to be applied in situations where no reliable code measurements or other measuring instruments are available for stand-alone ground-based positioning systems.

Benefits of the third frequency signal on cycle slip correction / Xiaohong Zhang in GPS solutions, vol 20 n° 3 (July 2016)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 20 n° 3 (July 2016) . - pp 451 - 460 Titre : Benefits of the third frequency signal on cycle slip correction Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Xiaohong Zhang, Auteur ; Pan Li, Auteur Année de publication : 2016 Article en page(s) : pp 451 - 460 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] compensation Lambda [Termes descripteurs IGN] constellation BeiDou [Termes descripteurs IGN] glissement de cycle [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes descripteurs IGN] récepteur trifréquence Résumé : (Auteur) Cycle slip detection and correction are important issues when carrier phase observations are used in high-precision GNSS data processing and have, therefore, been intensively investigated. Along with the GNSS modernization, the cycle slip correction (CSC) problem has been raised to deal with more signals from multi-frequencies. We extend the geometry-based approach by integrating time-differenced pseudorange and carrier phase observations to estimate the integer number of triple-frequency cycle slips together with the receiver clock offset, ionospheric delay variations and receiver displacements. The Least-squares AMBiguity Decorrelation Adjustment method can be employed. The benefit of the third frequency observation on the cycle slip estimate is first investigated with simulation tests. The results show that adding the third frequency observation can significantly improve the model strength and that a reliable triple-frequency CSC with a theoretical success rate of higher than 99.9 % can still be achieved, even under the condition that the range or ionosphere delay variation is poorly defined. The performance of triple-frequency CSC is validated with real triple-frequency BDS data since all BDS satellites in orbit are transmitting triple-frequency signals. The results show that the fixing rate of CSC can reach 99.1 % in static precise point positioning (PPP) and 98.8 % in the kinematic case. PPP solutions with cycle slip-uncorrected and cycle slip-corrected data sets are compared to validate the correctness of triple-frequency CSC. The standard deviations of the PPP solution in east, north and vertical component, respectively, can be improved by 31.1, 30.7 and 37.6 % for static, and by 42.0, 53.8 and 39.7 % for kinematic after cycle slips are corrected. The performance of dual- and triple-frequency CSC is also compared. Results show that the performance of dual-frequency CSC is slightly worse than that of triple-frequency CSC. These results demonstrate that the performance of CSC can be significantly improved with triple-frequency observations.

Performance analysis of triple-frequency ambiguity resolution with BeiDou observations / Xiaohong Zhang in GPS solutions, vol 20 n° 2 (April 2016)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 20 n° 2 (April 2016) . - pp 269 - 281 Titre : Performance analysis of triple-frequency ambiguity resolution with BeiDou observations Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Xiaohong Zhang, Auteur ; Xiyang He, Auteur Année de publication : 2016 Article en page(s) : pp 269 - 281 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] compensation Lambda [Termes descripteurs IGN] correction du trajet multiple [Termes descripteurs IGN] données BeiDou [Termes descripteurs IGN] performance [Termes descripteurs IGN] récepteur trifréquence [Termes descripteurs IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté Résumé : (Auteur) We investigate triple-frequency ambiguity resolution performance using real BeiDou data. We test four ambiguity resolution (AR) methods which are applicable to triple-frequency observations. These are least squares ambiguity decorrelation adjustment (LAMBDA), GF-TCAR (geometry-free three-carrier ambiguity resolution), GB-TCAR (geometry-based three-carrier ambiguity resolution) and GIF-TCAR (three-carrier ambiguity resolution based on the geometry-free and ionospheric-free combination). A comparison between LAMBDA, GF-TCAR and GB-TCAR was conducted over three short baselines and two medium baselines. The results indicated that LAMBDA is optimal in both short baseline and medium baseline cases. However, the performances of GB-TCAR and LAMBDA differ slightly for short baselines. Compared with GF-TCAR, which uses the geometry-free model, the GB-TCAR using the geometry-based model improves the AR performance significantly. Compared with dual-frequency observations, the LAMBDA AR results show a significant improvement when using triple-frequency observations over short baselines. The performance of GIF-TCAR is evaluated using multi-epoch observations. The results indicated that multi-path errors on carrier phases will have a significant influence on GIF-TCAR AR results, which leads to different GIF-TCAR AR performance for different type of satellites. For GEO (Geostationary Orbit) satellites, the ambiguities can barely be correctly fixed because the multi-path errors on carrier phases are very systematic. For IGSO (Inclined Geosynchronous Orbit) and MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) satellites, when the elevation cutoff angle is set as 30°, several tens to several hundreds of epochs are needed for correctly fixing the narrow lane ambiguities. The comparison of positioning performance between dual-frequency observations and triple-frequency observations was also conducted. The results indicated that a minor improvement can be achieved by using triple-frequency observations compared with using dual-frequency observations.
