In undifferenced GNSS solutions, the quality of orbit and clock products significantly influences the resulting position accuracy; therefore, for precise positioning in real time, the corrections for orbits and clocks are generated and distributed to users. In this research, we assess the quality and the availability of real-time CNES orbits and clocks for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou-2 separated by satellite blocks and types, as well as the product quality changes over time. We calculate the signal-in-space ranging error (SISRE) as the main orbit and clock quality indicator. Moreover, we employ independent orbit validation based on satellite laser ranging. We found that the most accurate orbits are currently available for GPS. However, Galileo utmost stable atomic clocks compensate for systematic errors in Galileo orbits. As a result, the SISRE for Galileo is lower than that for GPS, equaling 1.6 and 2.3 cm for Galileo and GPS, respectively. The GLONASS satellites, despite the high quality of their orbits, are characterized by poor quality of clocks, and together with BeiDou-2 in medium and geosynchronous inclined orbits, are characterized by SISRE of 4–6 cm. BeiDou-2 in geostationary orbits is characterized by large orbital errors and the lowest availability of real-time orbit and clock corrections due to a large number of satellite maneuvers. The quality of GNSS orbit and clock corrections changes over time and depends on satellite type, block, orbit characteristics, onboard atomic clock, and the sun elevation above the orbital plane.

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.

In low-cost low-precision micro-electromechanical system (MEMS)-based INS/GPS integration navigation systems, one of the major concerns is high-level stochastic noise and uncertainties existing in INS sensors and complex model of real noisy data. In such uncertainty-oriented environments, an intelligence structure with extra degrees of freedom which can handle and model a high-level of uncertainties in INS sensors, and an efficient denoising technique as a precursor to the intelligence structure can be efficient solutions. Our approach to these problems is taken in different steps. First, a denoising technique based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is used to provide more accurate INS sensor outputs and better generalization ability. Second, an optimized interval type-2 fuzzy neural network is used to model and handle a high-level of uncertainties efficiently and estimate the positioning error of INS sensors when GPS signals are blocked, and still meet both accuracy maximization and complexity minimization. Fast learning and convergence of the algorithm and less computational complexity can be achieved by using an extended Kalman filter in the learning of algorithm and an accurate and simple type-reduction, respectively, which can be utilized in real-time applications with significant performance. The results of EMD-based denoising technique, as a preprocessing phase, verify superior performance in comparison with the discrete wavelet transform denoising method in the signal-to-noise ratio improvement for raw and noisy signals of INS sensors. To verify the effectiveness of our proposed model, we applied challenging conditions consisting of low-cost low-precision inertial sensors based on MEMS technology, long-term outages of GPS satellites, a high-speed experimental test vehicle and noisy real-world data in the real-time flight experiments. The achieved experimental accuracies are compared with the results that we have achieved in other methods, and our proposed method verifies significant improvements.

An offshore real-time precise point positioning technique based on a single set of BeiDou short-message communication devices / Zhixi Nie in Journal of geodesy, vol 94 n° 9 (September 2020)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 94 n° 9 (September 2020) . - n° 78 Titre : An offshore real-time precise point positioning technique based on a single set of BeiDou short-message communication devices Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Zhixi Nie, Auteur ; Boyang Wang, Auteur ; Zhenjie Wang, Auteur ; Kaifei He, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : n° 78 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Navigation et positionnement [Termes descripteurs IGN] correction [Termes descripteurs IGN] horloge du satellite [Termes descripteurs IGN] international GPS service for geodynamics [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes descripteurs IGN] temps réel Résumé : (auteur) Real-time precise point positioning (PPP) based on open-access real-time service (RTS) of the international GNSS service (IGS) has attracted increasing attention in recent years. For offshore applications, the receiving of RTS corrections becomes a major obstacle due to lack of internet-based infrastructures. Short-message communication (SMC) is a particular technique of BeiDou navigation satellite system (BDS), which can provide bidirectional communication between users in a cost-effective way. However, the limited bandwidth and frequency of BDS SMC make it impossible to directly broadcast IGS RTS corrections with BDS SMC. An offshore real-time PPP technique is proposed based on IGS RTS corrections with a single set of BDS SMC devices for communication. RTS orbit corrections in the along-track, cross-track and radial directions, the clock correction and the code bias correction of each satellite are together converted into an equivalent range correction on the basis of user approximate position and will-be-used code observation types. The range corrections within 1 min are fitted into a first-order polynomial. Only the range and range-rate corrections at the reference time are broadcast with BDS SMC. In addition, different from broadcasting corrections of all satellites in the IGS RTS, corrections of only visible satellites are encoded into a BDS SMC correction message to further reduce the data size. The encoding strategy of BDS SMC correction message and a detailed procedure of the offshore real-time PPP technique are presented. The land-simulated and offshore experiment results show that the proposed technique can meet the demands of high-precision offshore applications.

GNSS scale determination using calibrated receiver and Galileo satellite antenna patterns / Arturo Villiger in Journal of geodesy, vol 94 n° 9 (September 2020)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 94 n° 9 (September 2020) . - n° 93 Titre : GNSS scale determination using calibrated receiver and Galileo satellite antenna patterns Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Arturo Villiger, Auteur ; Rolf Dach, Auteur ; Stefan Schaer, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : n° 93 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Systèmes de référence et réseaux [Termes descripteurs IGN] antenne Galileo [Termes descripteurs IGN] centre de phase [Termes descripteurs IGN] chambre anéchoïque [Termes descripteurs IGN] étalonnage d'instrument [Termes descripteurs IGN] International Terrestrial Reference Frame [Termes descripteurs IGN] métadonnées [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement par ITGB [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement par télémétrie laser sur satellite [Termes descripteurs IGN] réseau géodésique terrestre [Termes descripteurs IGN] robot Résumé : (auteur) The reference frame of a global terrestrial network is defined by the origin, the orientation and the scale. The origin of the ITRF2014 is defined by the ILRS long-term solution, the orientation by no-net rotation conditions w.r.t. the previous reference frame (ITRF2008), and the scale by the mean values from global VLBI and SLR solution series (Altamimi et al. in J Geophys Res Solid Earth 121:6109–6131, 2016). With the release of the Galileo satellite antenna phase center offsets (PCO) w.r.t. the satellites center of mass (GSA in Galileo IOV and FOC satellite metadata, 2019) and the availability of new ground antenna calibrations for GNSS receivers, based on anechoic chamber measurements or on robot calibrations, GNSS global network solutions qualify to contribute to the scale determination of terrestrial networks, as well. Our analysis is based on global multi-GNSS solutions of the years 2017 and 2018 and may be seen as “proof of concept” for the contribution of GNSS data to the scale determination of the terrestrial reference frame. In a first step, the currently used Galileo PCO estimations (Steigenberger et al. in J Geod 90:773–785, 2016) are compared to the released PCO values, which show discrepancies on the decimeter-level. Eventually, the published Galileo PCOs are used in an experimental solution as known values. GNSS-specific PCOs are estimated, as well, for GPS and GLONASS, together with the “standard” parameters set up in global GNSS solutions. From the estimated network coordinates, a time series of daily scale parameters of the terrestrial network is extracted, which shows an offset of the order of 1 ppb (parts per billion, corresponding to a height difference of 6.4 mm on the Earth’s surface) w.r.t. to the ITRF2014 network and an annual variation with an amplitude of about 0.3 ppb.
