Currently, however, there are few cycle slip detection and repair methods that can meet the data processing needs for diverse situations. To solve this problem, a highly adaptable cycle slip detection and repair method is proposed. First, a cycle slip detection equation is established using the pseudo-range and carrier double-differenced (DD) observations; the state equation is developed based on the satellite-ground distance. Then, a Kalman filter estimation model is established by joining the two equations. Subsequently, the cycle slip can be detected and repaired. Finally, the state parameters are refined in accordance with the conditional distribution. According to the results of the example, all the simulated cycle slips are detected and repaired by the method proposed. It shows that the method can meet the data processing needs for multiple situations.

Stochastic model reliability in GNSS baseline solution / Aviram Borko in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 2 (February 2021)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 95 n° 2 (February 2021) . - n° 20 Titre : Stochastic model reliability in GNSS baseline solution Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Aviram Borko, Auteur ; Gilad Even-Tzur, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 20 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] données GNSS [Termes IGN] double différence [Termes IGN] fiabilité des données [Termes IGN] ligne de base [Termes IGN] matrice de covariance [Termes IGN] modèle stochastique [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté [Termes IGN] test statistique [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement de données GNSS Résumé : (auteur) GNSS observations stochastic model influences all subsequent stages of data processing, from the possibility to reach the optimal parameters estimation, to the reliability and quality control of the solution. Nowadays, an uncontrolled use of GNSS stochastic models is common for both data processing and simulation missions, especially in commercial GNSS software packages. As a result, the variance–covariance matrices that are derived in the processing are inadequate and cause incorrect interpretations of the results. A proper method to evaluate the reliability of the stochastic model is needed to reflect the confidence level in statistic testing and simulation mission efforts. In this contribution, a novel method for evaluating the statistical nature of GNSS stochastic model is presented. The method relies on the deterministic nature of the integer ambiguity variable to examine and express the expected multinormal distribution of the double-difference adjustment results. The suggested method was used with a controlled experiment and 24 h of observations data to investigate how the statistical nature of the stochastic model is affected by different baseline lengths. The results indicate that as the baseline length increases, the stochastic model is less predictable and exposed to irregularities in the observation’s precision. Additionally, the reliability of the integer ambiguity resolution success rate (SR) was tested as part of the stochastic model evaluation. The results show a dramatic degradation in the SR prediction level when using an inadequate stochastic model, which suggests using extra caution when handling this parameter unless high-confidence reliable stochastic model is available.

Characteristics of seasonal variations and noises of the daily double-difference and PPP solutions / Kamil Maciuk in Journal of applied geodesy, vol 15 n° 1 (January 2021)

In recent years, PPP (Precise Point Positioning) technique has become increasingly popular and most likely in the future will replace relative positioning with CORS stations. In this paper, we discuss the difference of the velocity and seasonal component estimates of 25 Latvian CORS stations on the basis of daily PPP solutions from the Nevada Geodetic Laboratory and double-difference solutions from the Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformatics of the University of Latvia. Time series of each coordinate component for 9-year time period were determined by the usage of the Tsview software and seasonal existence of linear, annual, semi-annual factors and their uncertainties were determined. Breaks (e. g., antenna and receiver changes) were also taken into account. We then assessed the noise characteristics of these time series with the use of overlapping Hadamard variance (OHVAR). The result shows that OHVAR is computationally cheap, and the dominating power-law noise, including flicker and random walk. However Hadamard deviation of the PPP and double-difference solutions scatters differently for a whole year averaging time due to the different GNSS data strategies.

The primary objective of the GRACE-FO mission is to map the time-variable and mean gravity field of the Earth. To achieve this goal, both GRACE-FO satellites are additionally equipped with a K-band ranging (KBR) system, accelerometers and star trackers. Data processing strategies, data weighting approaches and impacts of observation types and rates are investigated in order to determine the most efficient approach for processing GRACE-FO multi-type data for precise orbit determination and gravity recovery. Two GPS observation types, un-differenced (UD) and double-differenced (DD) observations in general can be used for GPS-based POD and gravity recovery. The GRACE-FO KBR observations are mainly used for gravity recovery, but they can be also used for POD to improve the relative orbit accuracy. The main purpose of this paper is to study the impacts of the DD, UD and KBR observations on GRACE-FO POD and gravity recovery. The precise orbit accuracy is assessed using several tests, which include analysis of orbital fits, satellite laser ranging residuals, KBR range residuals and orbit comparisons. The gravity recovery is validated by comparing different gravity solutions through coefficient-wise comparison, degree difference variances and water height variations over the whole Earth and selected area and river basins.

Effect of spatial correlation on the performances of modernized GPS and Galileo in relative positioning / Noureddine Kheloufi in Geodesy and cartography, vol 46 n° 2 (July 2020)  

Public [article]  inGeodesy and cartography > vol 46 n° 2 (July 2020) . - pp 89 - 97 Titre : Effect of spatial correlation on the performances of modernized GPS and Galileo in relative positioning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Noureddine Kheloufi, Auteur ; Abdelhalim Niati, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : pp 89 - 97 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] compensation Lambda [Termes IGN] corrélation automatique de points homologues [Termes IGN] double différence [Termes IGN] estimation de quantité [Termes IGN] fréquence multiple [Termes IGN] ligne de base [Termes IGN] modèle stochastique [Termes IGN] positionnement différentiel [Termes IGN] positionnement par BeiDou [Termes IGN] positionnement par Galileo [Termes IGN] positionnement par GPS [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté [Termes IGN] retard ionosphèrique Résumé : (auteur) In the context of processing GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) data, it is known that the estimation of the ionospheric delays decreases the strength of the observation model and makes significant the time required to fix the ambiguities namely in case of long baselines. However, considering the double-differenced (DD) ionospheric delays as stochastic quantities, the redundancy in this case increases and leads to the reduction of time of fixing the ambiguities. The approach developed in the present paper makes two considerations: 1) the DD ionospheric delays are assumed as stochastic quantities and, 2) the spatial correlation of errors is accounted for based on a simple model of correlation. A simulation is made and aims to study the effect of these two mentioned considerations on the performances of the three multifrequency GNSSs; modernized GPS, Galileo and BDS which are not yet in full capability. For each GNSS, dual-frequency combinations of frequencies as well as triple-frequency combination are investigated in the simulation. The performances studied include: the time to fix the ambiguities with high success rate and the precision of coordinates in static relative positioning with varying baseline length. A method is developed to derive what we call the spatial correlation model which approximately gives the covariance between the individual errors belonging to two stations. Furthermore, the stochastic models that follow from accounting and neglecting the spatial correlation are developed. The LAMBDA (Least-squares Ambiguity Decorrelation Adjustment) method is implemented for ambiguity decorrelation. The results show that the time to fix the ambiguities caused by accounting the spatial correlation is less than the time of fix without the spatial correlation. Also, a slight superiority of Galileo in terms of performances is seen compared to the other GNSS. For all the dualfrequency combinations investigated, when processing a baseline length of 500 km with accounted spatial correlation, the time needed to successfully fix the ambiguities lies between 5 and 9 min, whereas it becomes only between 2.5 and 3 min for all the triple-frequency combinations, this is with a sampling time of 5 s. In addition, for all different combinations, the coordinates precision is less than 8 mm even for 500 km. We think that these high performances result from: 1) the precise codes of future GNSS signals, 2) the high redundancy in the observations equation and, 3) taking into account the spatial correlation in the definition of the stochastic model.
