The methods for modeling and forecasting are mainly based on overly simplified assumptions, which in principle cannot reflect the real situations due to limitations of the mathematical formulations. Therefore, these methods cannot comprehensively capture the features of ionospheric TEC in spatial–temporal series. To overcome the problems caused by such assumptions, we combine ConvLSTM (convolutional long short-term memory) with spectrum analysis. The method allows the extraction of high-resolution spatial–temporal patterns of the ionospheric VTEC maps and accelerates the convergence time of neural networks. Extensive experiments have been carried out for short- and long-term forecasting and demonstrated that the performance of our method is better than other state-of-the-art models developed for various time series analysis methods. Based on the data from global ionospheric maps (GIMs) products, the results show that the root-mean-square error (RMSE) of global VTEC forecasting by our method substantially improves for two hours intervals over the years 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019 compared to existing methods, specifically, 20–50% reduction on 1 or 2 h forecasting in terms of RMSE. In addition, the method is sufficient to support real-time forecasting since it takes less than one second to output global forecasting solutions. With these properties, we can facilitate real-time and highly accurate ionosphere correction services beneficial to numerous GNSS correct services and positioning terminals.

Regional ionospheric corrections for high accuracy GNSS positioning / Tam Dao in Remote sensing, vol 14 n° 10 (May-2 2022)  

Public [article]  inRemote sensing > vol 14 n° 10 (May-2 2022) . - n° 2463 Titre : Regional ionospheric corrections for high accuracy GNSS positioning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Tam Dao, Auteur ; Ken Harima, Auteur ; Brett Anthony Carter, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 2463 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] Australie [Termes IGN] Continuously Operating Reference Station network [Termes IGN] correction ionosphérique [Termes IGN] modèle ionosphérique [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] retard ionosphèrique Résumé : (auteur) Centimetre-level accurate ionospheric corrections are required for a high accuracy and rapid convergence of Precise Point Positioning (PPP) GNSS positioning solutions. This research aims to evaluate the accuracy of a local/regional ionospheric delay model using a linear interpolation method across Australia. The accuracy of the ionospheric corrections is assessed as a function of both different latitudinal regions and the number and spatial density of GNSS Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORSs). Our research shows that, for a local region of 5° latitude ×10° longitude in mid-latitude regions of Australia (~30° to 40°S) with approximately 15 CORS stations, ionospheric corrections with an accuracy of 5 cm can be obtained. In Victoria and New South Wales, where dense CORS networks exist (nominal spacing of ~100 km), the average ionospheric corrections accuracy can reach 2 cm. For sparse networks (nominal spacing of >200 km) at lower latitudes, the average accuracy of the ionospheric corrections is within the range of 8 to 15 cm; significant variations in the ionospheric errors of some specific satellite observations during certain periods were also found. In some regions such as Central Australia, where there are a limited number of CORSs, this model was impossible to use. On average, centimetre-level accurate ionospheric corrections can be achieved if there are sufficiently dense (i.e., nominal spacing of approximately 200 km) GNSS CORS networks in the region of interest. Based on the current availability of GNSS stations across Australia, we propose a set of 15 regions of different ionospheric delay accuracies with extents of 5° latitude ×10° longitude covering continental Australia.

Improving the (re-)convergence of multi-GNSS real-time precise point positioning through regional between-satellite single-differenced ionospheric augmentation / Ahao Wang in GPS solutions, vol 26 n° 2 (April 2022)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 26 n° 2 (April 2022) . - n° 39 Titre : Improving the (re-)convergence of multi-GNSS real-time precise point positioning through regional between-satellite single-differenced ionospheric augmentation Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ahao Wang, Auteur ; Yize Zhang, Auteur ; Junping Chen, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 39 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] correction ionosphérique [Termes IGN] modèle ionosphérique [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] temps de convergence [Termes IGN] temps réel [Termes IGN] teneur verticale totale en électrons [Termes IGN] transformation polynomiale Résumé : (auteur) The long (re-)convergence time seriously limits many applications of real-time precise point positioning (RTPPP) in challenging environments like urban vehicle navigation and hazards monitoring. Thus, we proposed a real-time fast-positioning model by introducing the regional between-satellite single-differenced (SD) ionospheric constraints into the undifferenced and uncombined PPP (UU-PPP). The line-of-sight ionospheric observables are extracted by the multi-GNSS (GPS + Galileo) UU-PPP method. The polynomial function with simple structure and high efficiency is applied to establish the real-time regional between-satellite SD ionospheric vertical total electron content (VTEC) model. The differential slant total electron content (dSTEC) variations retrieved from three VTEC models are validated with the between-satellite SD and epoch-differenced geometry-free combinations of dual-frequency phase observations. The average RMS values are 0.77, 0.78 and 0.47 TEC unit for the CLK93 real-time VTEC, CODE final GIM and regional between-satellite SD ionospheric VTEC model, respectively. In the positioning domain, the data of ten stations for 12 consecutive days in 2020 were used for implementing kinematic RTPPP with single-frequency (SF) and dual-frequency (DF) observations. Compared with the GPS + Galileo SF-RTPPP based on the GRoup And PHase Ionospheric Correction model, the initialization time of the SD ionospheric-constrained (SDIC) SF-RTPPP when converged to 0.2 m at the 68% confidence level can be improved from 58 to 32 min in horizontal and 72 to 49 min in vertical, and its positioning accuracy can be improved by 29.7 and 20.3% in the horizontal and vertical components, respectively. Meanwhile, the re-convergence errors of SDIC SF-RTPPP from the first epoch can be maintained at 0.15 m in three components. As to GPS + Galileo SDIC DF-RTPPP, the re-convergence time when converged to 0.1 m can be lower than 3 min in horizontal and 9 min in vertical, and the re-convergence errors at the first epoch could even be lower than 0.15 m in horizontal. Hence, the new positioning model can maintain high accuracy and improve the continuity of real-time kinematic positioning in a short time when the number of tracked satellites in the urban or canyon environment was greatly dropped due to signal blocking.

On enhanced PPP with single difference between-satellite ionospheric constraints / Yan Xiang in Navigation : journal of the Institute of navigation, vol 69 n° 1 (Spring 2022)  

Public [article]  inNavigation : journal of the Institute of navigation > vol 69 n° 1 (Spring 2022) . - n° 505 Titre : On enhanced PPP with single difference between-satellite ionospheric constraints Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Yan Xiang, Auteur ; Xin Chen, Auteur ; Ling Pei, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 505 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] correction ionosphérique [Termes IGN] modèle stochastique [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] retard ionosphèrique [Termes IGN] simple différence [Termes IGN] temps de convergence Résumé : (auteur) Applications of precise point positioning (PPP) are limited by PPP’s long convergence time. One effective way to shorten the convergence time is to apply ionospheric constraints because of the external ionospheric information. The conventional way to do this is to apply high precision but biased ionospheric corrections. The limitations of the method are that all ionospheric constraints must be derived from the same set of reference stations to have the same data. An approach based on single differences between satellite ionospheric constraints (SDBS-IONO) is developed to address the data issue due to having no common satellite visibility. The proposed method is more flexible and scalable in terms of adding ionospheric constraints. Based on a network of about 130 stations, we validated the proposed SDBS-ION method and compared it to the conventional method. Our results confirm that the ionospheric constraints enhance the PPP convergence time significantly depending on the accuracy of ionospheric constraints. Finally, we discuss crucial factors regarding how long and accurate the effectiveness of ionospheric constraints are in reducing PPP convergence time.

Therefore, different agencies started to generate daily Global Ionosphere Maps (GIMs); the Vertical Total Electron Content (VTEC) values represented in GIMs produced by several providers can be used to remove the ionosphere error from observations. In this research, an analysis will be carried with three sources for VTEC maps produced by the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE), Regional TEC Mapping (RTM), and the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI). The evaluation is focused on the effects of a specific ionosphere GIM correction on the precise point positioning (PPP) solutions. Two networks were considered. The first network consists of seven Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers from (IGS) global stations. The selected test days are six days, three of them quiet, and three other days are stormy to check the influence of geomagnetic storms on relative kinematic positioning solutions. The second network is a regional network in Egypt. The results show that the calculated coordinates using the three VTEC map sources are far from each other on stormy days rather than on quiet days. Also, the standard deviation values are large on stormy days compared to those on quiet days. Using CODE and RTM IONEX file produces the most precise coordinates after that the values of IRI. The elimination of ionospheric biases over the estimated lengths of many baselines up to 1000 km has resulted in positive findings, which show the feasibility of the suggested assessment procedure.
