The integer least squares (ILS) estimation and the best integer equivariant (BIE) estimation are two widely used AR method, with the former considered to have the highest success rate and the latter to be optimal in the minimum mean squared error (MSE) sense. We analyzed three key issues of applying the BIE method in detail, including the use boundary of BIE, the number of candidates to be involved, and the weight determination among ambiguity candidates. It has been demonstrated that the BIE estimator is superior to ILS estimator from an overall perspective, but not always the best in each specific epoch. Therefore, we recommend constructing an integrated ambiguity resolution scheme that combines BIE with ILS, and we propose to adopt the optimal integer aperture (OIA) test as a criterion to distinguish the two. Moreover, a new criterion referred to the OIA test is proposed to determine the number of candidates involved in the BIE estimator. We also attempt to add the quadratic forms of baseline residuals into the weight function of BIE, aiming to reach a more accurate estimator. Finally, an integrated AR method that combines ILS with BIE and distinguished by the OIA test is proposed, named OIA-BIE. A set of real-measured vehicle data are tested to evaluate its performance, compared to least squares (LS), ILS, and the original BIE. The results show that the positioning accuracy of OIA-BIE is a little better than BIE, better than ILS, and significantly better than LS. Moreover, the average time consumption of ILS, BIE, and OIA-BIE are also evaluated, with 1.15, 14.62, and 3.71 ms, respectively, and OIA-BIE is four times more efficient than BIE.

Global Navigation Satellite System interferometric reflectometry (GNSS-IR) has been applied to accurately monitor snow height (SH) with low cost and high temporal–spatial resolution. We proposed an improved GNSS-IR method using detrended signal-to-noise ratio (δSNR) arcs corresponding to multipath reflection tracks with different azimuths. After using wavelet decomposition and random sample consensus, noise with various frequencies for SNR arcs and outliers of reflector height (RH) estimations have been sequentially mitigated to enhance the availability of the proposed method. Thus, a height datum based on the ground RHs retrieved from multi-GNSS SNR data is established to compensate for the influence of topography variation with different azimuths in SH retrieval. The approximately 3-month δSNR datasets collected from three stations deployed on sloping topography were used to retrieve SH and compared with the existing method and in situ measurements. The results show that the root mean square errors of the retrievals derived from the proposed method for the three sites are between 4 and 8 cm, and the corresponding correlation surpasses 0.95 when compared to the reference SH datasets. Additionally, we compare the performance of a retrieval with the existing GNSS-IR Web App, and it shows an improvement in RMSE of about 7 cm. Furthermore, because topography variation has been considered, the average correction of SH retrievals is between 2 and 4 cm. The solution with the proposed method helps develop the applications of the GNSS-IR technique on complex topography.

Toward BDS/Galileo/GPS/QZSS triple-frequency PPP instantaneous integer ambiguity resolutions without atmosphere corrections / Jun Tao in GPS solutions, vol 26 n° 4 (October 2022)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 26 n° 4 (October 2022) . - n° 127 Titre : Toward BDS/Galileo/GPS/QZSS triple-frequency PPP instantaneous integer ambiguity resolutions without atmosphere corrections Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Jun Tao, Auteur ; Guo Chen, Auteur ; Jing Guo, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 127 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes IGN] correction atmosphérique [Termes IGN] erreur de phase [Termes IGN] fréquence multiple [Termes IGN] positionnement par BeiDou [Termes IGN] positionnement par Galileo [Termes IGN] positionnement par GPS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] Quasi-Zenith Satellite System [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté [Termes IGN] temps de convergence Résumé : (auteur) Multi-frequency precise point positioning (PPP) has drawn attention along with the modernization of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems. There are now nearly 90 satellites providing multi-frequency signals. This contribution aims to achieve fast convergence of a few seconds for BDS/Galileo/GPS/QZSS integrated triple-frequency PPP with integer ambiguity resolution (IAR) without atmosphere corrections. A unified model of an uncombined and undifferenced manner for PPP-IAR with dual- and triple-frequency observations is presented. The uncalibrated phase delays (UPD) of extra wide-lane (EWL), wide-lane (WL), and N1 ambiguities for triple-frequency PPP are estimated with standard deviations of 0.02, 0.05, and 0.10 cycles achieved, respectively. The PPP-IAR validation based on 20 stations evenly distributed in China is conducted using UPD products generated from a regional network covering a large part of China. The EWL, WL, and N1 ambiguities are sequentially fixed utilizing the least-squares ambiguity decorrelation adjustment (LAMBDA) technique. In terms of convergence time, PPP instantaneous IAR is achievable without using atmosphere corrections, thanks to the contribution of the multi-frequency and multi-constellation observations. This has been proved by performing PPP-IAR restart every 10-min over 2520 times in our case study. For PPP-IAR solutions produced with BDS/Galileo/GPS/QZSS triple-frequency observations with an interval of 1 s, the convergence is fulfilled within 1 s for the horizontal components with an accuracy of better than 5 cm, while 2 s for the vertical component with better than 10 cm accuracy, and both are at 95% confidence level.

Adaptive block modeling of time dependent variations of datum reference points in a tectonically active area / Chun-Yun Chou in Survey review, vol 54 n° 386 (September 2022)

This study presents an approach to realistically reflect the time dependent behaviors of ground reference points while maintaining the long-term stability of a datum. An adaptive approach coupled with the Euler motion model is proposed for dividing an area into blocks. A least-squares collocation is then applied for modeling the residual velocities in each block. A case study using the data from 375 continuously operated GNSS stations in Taiwan is presented. It is illustrated that the complex surface kinematics in this region can be divided into three blocks. Significant reductions up to 64% of residual velocities were obtained. This shows that a stable datum can be established in a region with active and complicated surface kinematics by implementing the proposed.

Ambiguity resolution for smartphone GNSS precise positioning: effect factors and performance / Bofeng Li in Journal of geodesy, vol 96 n° 9 (September 2022)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 96 n° 9 (September 2022) . - n° 63 Titre : Ambiguity resolution for smartphone GNSS precise positioning: effect factors and performance Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Bofeng Li, Auteur ; Weikai Miao, Auteur ; Guang'e Chen, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 63 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Navigation et positionnement [Termes IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes IGN] fréquence multiple [Termes IGN] phase GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes IGN] précision du positionnement [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté [Termes IGN] signal GNSS [Termes IGN] téléphone intelligent Résumé : (auteur) With the availability of Global Navigation Satellite Systems raw measurements in smartphones, high-precision positioning using smartphones has become possible in recent years. Integer ambiguity resolution (IAR) is critical for smartphone precise positioning, which would be more difficult in smartphones and affected by various factors. In this paper, we will numerically study the effect factors for integer property of phase ambiguities, data quality, IAR efficiency and positioning accuracy for the smartphone. The results show that integer property of phase ambiguities and data quality are governed not only by the smartphone brands and embedded antennas, but also by the mobile operating system and smartphone attitudes. In general, the different constant offsets exist for the different frequency ambiguities, and the ambiguities are fixable once the corresponding offsets are calibrated. With the operating system of EMUI 9.0, the ambiguities are fixable for Xiaomi Mi8 but not for Huawei Mate20. However, with the updated operating system of EMUI 9.0.1, the ambiguities of Huawei Mate20 become fixable. Besides the smartphone brands and embedded antennas, the smartphone attitudes significantly affect the data quality, such as carrier-to-noise density ratio (C/N0) values, data availability and observation precisions, thus affecting the ambiguity fixing rate and positioning accuracy. The ambiguity fixing rates differ from attitudes by 17%, and generally, the upward attitude has the best performance. Finally, the kinematic positioning results indicate that only the meter-level accuracy is obtained with an embedded antenna, while the centimeter to decimeter-level accuracy is achievable with the external antenna.
