In both natural and man-made environments, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals suffer challenges such as multipath, attenuation, or loss-of-lock. As Highway Assist and Highway Pilot are AD next steps, multipath knowledge is necessary for this typical user-case and kinematic situations. This paper presents a multipath performance analysis for GPS and Galileo satellites in static, slow, and high kinematic scenarios. The data is provided from car test-drives in both controlled and unrestricted, near-natural environments. The Code-Minus-Carrier (CMC) and cycle-slip implementations are validated with measurement data from consecutive days. Multipath statistical models based on satellite elevation are evaluated for the three investigated scenarios. Static models derived from the car setup measurements for GPS L1, L2 and Galileo E1 and E5b show a good agreement with a state-of-the-art model as well as the enhanced Galileo signals performance. Slow kinematic multipath results in a controlled environment showed an improvement for both navigation systems compared to the static measurements at the same place. This result is confirmed by static and slow kinematic multipath simulations with the same GNSS receiver. Post-processing analysis on highway measurements revealed a bigger multipath bias, compared to the open-sky static and slow kinematic measurement campaigns. Although less critical as urban or rural, this indicates the presence of multipath in this kind of environment as well. The impact of different parameters, including receiver architecture and Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are analyzed and discussed. Differential position (DGNSS) based on code is computed for each epoch and compared against GNSS/INS integrated position for all three measurement campaigns. The most significant 3D absolute error occurs where the greatest multipath envelope is found.

In this area, simply discarding all earthquake-affected sites, one overestimates the average regional sea level rise by more than 0.5 mm/year. Disregarding VLM would lead to misestimating local sea level trends between 0.2 and 7.6 mm/year. If accounted for, but modeled as linear during the entire time span, VLM leads to regional absolute sea level rise errors of up to 0.4 mm/year. Therefore, we introduce a new methodology that better represents the Global Positioning System (GPS)-derived nonlinear VLM by accounting for co-seismic offsets, changes in the vertical velocities and post-seismic transient. Also, for the first time, a combination of white and power-law noises is added to this nonlinear model to derive proper uncertainties of VLM. We find a maximum difference of 15.3 mm/year between pre- and post-seismic vertical velocities. The GPS-sensed vertical co-seismic displacement approaches 36 mm. Assuming the changes in vertical velocities and displacement due to the tectonic movements is not accounted for, and then, estimating absolute sea level rise from tide gauges can result in an error of 10 mm/year. Introducing a new nonlinear VLM model improves absolute tide gauge sea level estimates by 20% on average. Finally, for the reconstructed Western North Pacific sea level, altimetry agrees best with tide gauge data corrected employing the new nonlinear VLM model.

Performance of Galileo-only dual-frequency absolute positioning using the fully serviceable Galileo constellation / Tomasz Hadas in GPS solutions, vol 23 n° 4 (October 2019)

In this study, different techniques of dual-frequency absolute positioning using the fully serviceable Galileo constellation are evaluated for the first time and compared to the performance of GPS positioning. The daily static positioning based on the broadcast ephemeris using Galileo pseudoranges is significantly more accurate than the corresponding GPS solutions, obtaining the accuracy of a few decimeters. In the kinematic mode, the accuracy is better than 10 m and 20 m for the horizontal and vertical components, respectively, which is comparable to that of GPS. Precise absolute positioning using pseudorange and carrier phase Galileo observations combined with IGS Real-Time Service (RTS) or Multi-GNSS Experiment products is not yet as good as the corresponding GPS solutions. In the static mode, the root mean squared error (RMSE) between estimated and reference coordinates does not exceed 0.05 m and 0.06 m for the horizontal and vertical components, respectively. In the kinematic mode, the respective accuracies are better than 0.17 m and 0.21 m. Moreover, we show that both GPS and Galileo pseudorange solutions benefit from the RTS when compared to the broadcast solutions with the improvement in the accuracy between 10 and 59%. Remarkable results are achieved for Galileo Precise Point Positioning (PPP) solutions based on the broadcast ephemeris. In the static mode, the RMSE is 0.07 and 0.10 m for the horizontal and vertical components which is three and two times better, respectively, then the corresponding solutions based on GPS.

On the application of Monte Carlo singular spectrum analysis to GPS position time series / Seyed Mohsen Khazraei in Journal of geodesy, vol 93 n° 9 (September 2019)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 93 n° 9 (September 2019) . - pp 1401 - 1418 Titre : On the application of Monte Carlo singular spectrum analysis to GPS position time series Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Seyed Mohsen Khazraei, Auteur ; AliReza Amiri-Simkooei, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 1401 - 1418 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement du signal [Termes descripteurs IGN] algorithme de Cholesky [Termes descripteurs IGN] analyse de spectre singulier [Termes descripteurs IGN] bruit (théorie du signal) [Termes descripteurs IGN] bruit blanc [Termes descripteurs IGN] bruit rose [Termes descripteurs IGN] coordonnées GPS [Termes descripteurs IGN] méthode de Monte-Carlo [Termes descripteurs IGN] méthode des moindres carrés [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement par GPS [Termes descripteurs IGN] série temporelle Résumé : (Auteur) Singular spectrum analysis (SSA) has recently been applied to various geodetic time series studies. As a data-adaptive method, SSA is capable of extracting signals with non-constant phase and amplitudes. Although SSA is a competent method in the presence of white noise, the contribution of colored noise, having semi-periodic behavior, degrades its performance. Parts of colored noise can be absorbed in the SSA eigenmodes, which specifies signals and hence resulting in spurious modulation or losing significant signals. Signals and colored noise are thus to be discriminated in the signal identification procedure. Monte Carlo SSA (MCSSA) in its original formulation, providing a significance test against the AR(1) noise null hypothesis, can be misinterpreted when other colored noise structures contribute to the series. We propose an algorithm for MCSSA that is not limited to the AR(1) noise hypothesis. It estimates the noise model parameters using LS-VCE and generates the surrogate data using the Cholesky decomposition. The algorithm is adapted to GPS position time series where the underlying noise is a combination of white noise and flicker noise. GPS position time series, postulated real situation, are first simulated to include annual and semiannual signals plus white and flicker noise. The results indicate that MCSSA can extract the annual and semiannual signals with 2.11 and 1.25 mm amplitudes (the global mean values) from 20-year-long time series, with 95% confidence level, if flicker noise is less than 17 and 13 mm/year1/4mm/year1/4, respectively. The longer the time series or the stronger the signals are, the higher these thresholds will be. This conclusion is also verified when applying MCSSA to the up component of GPS position time series of 347 JPL stations.

Accuracy assessment of relative and precise point positioning online GPS processing services / Ahmed El Shouny in Journal of applied geodesy, vol 13 n° 3 (July 2019)  

Public [article]  inJournal of applied geodesy > vol 13 n° 3 (July 2019) . - pp 215 – 227 Titre : Accuracy assessment of relative and precise point positioning online GPS processing services Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ahmed El Shouny, Auteur ; Yehia Miky, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 215 – 227 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Navigation et positionnement [Termes descripteurs IGN] Egypte [Termes descripteurs IGN] estimation de précision [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement différentiel [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement par GPS [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes descripteurs IGN] traitement de données GNSS Résumé : (auteur) Over the last few years, several institutions, research centers, and organizations have developed different strategies for GPS data processing and analysis to obtain high accurate coordinates. They are taking into considerations overcoming restrictions and limitations such as necessity of using relative positioning, time consuming, and high cost of different processing software. One of these developed strategies is the web–based online GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) processing service which estimates coordinates with centimeter or decimeter level accuracy. This study aims to represent the most popular of these services, namely AUSPOS, OPUS, APPS, GAPS, Trimble RTX, and CSRS–PPP, also to perform in-between comparison of these services with respect to their achieved accuracy using field observations with different durations. The obtained results were compared with a real field data measured using traditional relative positioning technique with high accuracy standards. The set of data used in this study was performed in the Eastern zone in Egypt. The results of this comparison indicate that these services can be used as an alternative method for relative positioning technique due to their simplicity, cost-effective and saving in time. They saved about 75 % from the time required for traditional method to produce coordinate with reasonable accuracy. The maximum standard deviation obtained was 15.4 cm from APPS service with time less than two hours, while the minimum standard deviation was 0.07 cm and obtained from CSRS–PPP with time duration from 6 to 12 hours. For achieving more accurate results, it is recommended to use time duration more than two hours.
