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.

A new method for evaluation of the positional error of low-cost devices based on GNSS integrity for transportation applications / Luciano Aparecido Barbosa in Boletim de Ciências Geodésicas, vol 28 n° 1 ([01/03/2022])  

Public [article]  inBoletim de Ciências Geodésicas > vol 28 n° 1 [01/03/2022] Titre : A new method for evaluation of the positional error of low-cost devices based on GNSS integrity for transportation applications Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Luciano Aparecido Barbosa, Auteur ; Henrique Cândido de Oliveira, Auteur ; Wagner Carrupt Machado, Auteur ; Diogenes Cortijo Costa, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Topographie [Termes IGN] erreur de positionnement [Termes IGN] estimation de précision [Termes IGN] milieu urbain [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique [Termes IGN] récepteur GPS Résumé : (auteur) GNSS integrity assessment has always been linked to the need for reliable positional information. Initially used in aviation, positional information gained even more relevance in terrestrial applications with the popularity of GNSS. However, the terrestrial environment has many influences over GNSS signals, which reduces the positional quality of tracking objects. Advances have been achieved in the use of integrity monitoring algorithms, but there are limitations to their use, especially those concerning positional accuracy in urban environments with low-cost devices. This paper aims to discuss a comparative method using two low-cost GNSS receivers designed for transportation applications and to verify whether this method can evaluate positional quality in pre-established locations, as well as the possibilities of using these devices for transportation applications, considering the positional error. Results show that, in the static experiment, the receiver assembled with a GPS antenna active embedded was more accurate than the receiver assembled with an external antenna, presenting better values in 5 out of 10 evaluated sites, while the external antenna performed better in only 2 sites. However, in a kinematic evaluation, the receiver assembled with an external antenna provided better results when considering positional error as assessment criterion, resulting in values less than or equal to 8 meters in 99.7% of the route evaluated, while the embedded antenna had 95.3%.

Sentinel-6A precise orbit determination using a combined GPS/Galileo receiver / Oliver Montenbruck in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 10 (October 2021)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 95 n° 10 (October 2021) . - n° 109 Titre : Sentinel-6A precise orbit determination using a combined GPS/Galileo receiver Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Oliver Montenbruck, Auteur ; Stefan Hackel, Auteur ; Martin Wermuth, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 109 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] altimétrie satellitaire par laser [Termes IGN] étalonnage en vol [Termes IGN] océanographie spatiale [Termes IGN] orbite précise [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] orbitographie par GNSS [Termes IGN] récepteur Galileo [Termes IGN] récepteur GPS Résumé : (auteur) The Sentinel-6 (or Jason-CS) altimetry mission provides a long-term extension of the Topex and Jason-1/2/3 missions for ocean surface topography monitoring. Analysis of altimeter data relies on highly-accurate knowledge of the orbital position and requires radial RMS orbit errors of less than 1.5 cm. For precise orbit determination (POD), the Sentinel-6A spacecraft is equipped with a dual-constellation GNSS receiver. We present the results of Sentinel-6A POD solutions for the first 6 months since launch and demonstrate a 1-cm consistency of ambiguity-fixed GPS-only and Galileo-only solutions with the dual-constellation product. A similar performance (1.3 cm 3D RMS) is achieved in the comparison of kinematic and reduced-dynamic orbits. While Galileo measurements exhibit 30–50% smaller RMS errors than those of GPS, the POD benefits most from the availability of an increased number of satellites in the combined dual-frequency solution. Considering obvious uncertainties in the pre-mission calibration of the GNSS receiver antenna, an independent inflight calibration of the phase centers for GPS and Galileo signal frequencies is required. As such, Galileo observations cannot provide independent scale information and the estimated orbital height is ultimately driven by the employed forces models and knowledge of the center-of-mass location within the spacecraft. Using satellite laser ranging (SLR) from selected high-performance stations, a better than 1 cm RMS consistency of SLR normal points with the GNSS-based orbits is obtained, which further improves to 6 mm RMS when adjusting site-specific corrections to station positions and ranging biases. For the radial orbit component, a bias of less than 1 mm is found from the SLR analysis relative to the mean height of 13 high-performance SLR stations. Overall, the reduced-dynamic orbit determination based on GPS and Galileo tracking is considered to readily meet the altimetry-related Sentinel-6 mission needs for RMS height errors of less than 1.5 cm.

GPS satellite differential code bias estimation with current eleven low earth orbit satellites / Xingxing Li in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 7 (July 2021)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 95 n° 7 (July 2021) . - n° 76 Titre : GPS satellite differential code bias estimation with current eleven low earth orbit satellites Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Xingxing Li, Auteur ; Wei Zhang, Auteur ; Keke Zhang, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 76 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] erreur systématique de code différentiel [Termes IGN] orbite basse [Termes IGN] précision de l'estimation [Termes IGN] récepteur GPS [Termes IGN] teneur verticale totale en électrons [Termes IGN] trajet multiple Résumé : (auteur) Many low earth orbit (LEO) missions have been launched recently for different geoscience studying purposes such as ionosphere detecting and gravity recovering. The onboard observations from LEO satellites provide us a great opportunity to estimate the differential code bias (DCB) which is vital for precise applications of global navigation satellites system. This paper mainly focuses on the contribution of multi-LEO combination to the DCB estimation using onboard data collected by current eleven LEO satellites from day of year (DOY) 061, 2018 to DOY 120, 2018. The single-LEO solutions with different LEO and multi-LEO solutions with different LEO subsets are compared and analyzed in detail to fully exploit the potential of LEO onboard observations in the DCB estimation. We also evaluate and discuss the vertical total electron content (VTEC) results and posterior residuals to validate the estimation accuracy. Our results show that the average DCB standard deviation (STD) values are within 0.140 ns for all eleven single-LEO solutions with the best stability of 0.082 ns for Swarm-B solution. The evaluation of multi-LEO solutions indicates that with the increase in LEO satellites, the GPS DCB stability gets improved gradually. The 9-LEO solution can achieve the stability with STD value of 0.051 ns, better than that of DCB products from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) (0.055 ns) but slightly worse than that of DCB products from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) (0.048 ns). The results suggest that the GPS DCB stability based on the onboard observations of nine LEO satellites can be comparable to the ground-based solution derived from a global ground network with hundreds of stations. The LEO space-borne receiver DCB results illustrate that the inclusion of more LEO satellites can contribute to the stability improvement of receiver DCB. In addition, the VTEC estimation can benefit from the joint processing of multiple LEO observations and achieves a noticeable reduction in the percentage of negative VTEC values. Our results also reveal that the spherical symmetry ionosphere assumption might cause accuracy degradation in the DCB estimation at low latitudes.

A multi-layer perceptron neural network to mitigate the interference of time synchronization attacks in stationary GPS receivers / N. Orouji in GPS solutions, vol 25 n° 3 (July 2021)

Any imprecise time measurement in GPS-based structures, such as smart power grids, economic activities, and communication towers, can lead to disastrous results. The vulnerability of the stationary GPS receivers to the time synchronization attacks (TSAs) jeopardizes the GPS timing precision and trust level. In the past few years, studies suggested the adoption of estimators to follow the authentic trend of the clock offset information under attack conditions. However, the estimators would lose track of the authentic signal without proper knowledge of the signal characteristics. Therefore, a multi-layer perceptron neural network (MLP NN) is proposed to follow the trend of the data. The main difference between the proposed method and typical estimators is the reliance of the network on the training information consisting of signal features. The proposed MLP NN performance has been evaluated through two real-world datasets and two well-known types of TSA. The root mean square error results exhibit an improvement of at least six times compared to other conventional and state-of-art methods.
