Due to the FDMA multiplexing scheme, the conventional CDMA observation model has to be modified to restore the integer estimability of the ambiguities. This modification has a strong impact on positioning capabilities. In particular, the ambiguity resolution performance of this model is clearly weaker than for CDMA systems, so that fast and reliable full ambiguity resolution is usually not feasible for standalone GLONASS, and adding GLONASS data in a multi-GNSS approach can reduce the ambiguity resolution performance of the combined model. Partial ambiguity resolution was demonstrated to be a suitable tool to overcome this weakness (Teunissen in GPS Solut 23(4):100, 2019). We provide an exhaustive formal analysis of the positioning precision and ambiguity resolution capabilities for short, medium, and long baselines in a multi-GNSS environment with GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, and GLONASS. Simulations are used to show that with a difference test-based partial ambiguity resolution method, adding GLONASS data improves the positioning performance in all considered cases. Real data from different baselines are used to verify these findings. When using all five available systems, instantaneous centimeter-level positioning is possible on an 88.5 km baseline with the ionosphere weighted model, and on average, only 3.27 epochs are required for a long baseline with the ionosphere float model, thereby enabling near instantaneous solutions.

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.

To improve RTK ambiguity resolution (AR) performance further, multi-sensor fusion technique is a feasible option. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR)-based localization is a good complementary method to GNSS. Tight integration of GNSS RTK and LiDAR adds new information to satellite measurements, thus improving float ambiguity estimation and then improving integer AR. In this work, a LiDAR aiding single-frequency single-epoch GPS + BDS RTK was proposed and investigated by theoretical analysis and performance assessment. Considering LiDAR-based localization failure because of ambiguous and repetitive landmarks, a fuzzy one-to-many feature-matching method was proposed to find a series of sequences including all possible relative positions to landmarks. Then, the standard RTK method was tightly combined with the possible positions from each sequence to find the most accurate position estimation. Experimental results proved the superiority of our method over the standard RTK method in all aspects of success rate, fixed rate and positioning accuracy. In specific, our method achieved centimeter-level position accuracy with 100% fixed rate in the urban environment, while the standard GPS + BDS RTK obtained decimeter-level accuracy with 26.84% fixed rate. In the high occlusion environment, our method had centimeter-level accuracy with a fixed rate of 96.31%, comparing a meter-level accuracy and a fixed rate of 7.65% of standard GPS + BDS RTK method.

A multi-frequency and multi-GNSS method for the retrieval of the ionospheric TEC and intraday variability of receiver DCBs / Min Li in Journal of geodesy, vol 94 n° 10 (October 2020)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 94 n° 10 (October 2020) . - 14 p.

The intraday variability in receiver DCBs (rDCBs), which is usually ignored in the commonly used ionospheric observable retrieval procedure, has been identified as one of the major errors degrading the accuracy of TEC estimation. The modified carrier-to-code leveling (MCCL) method can be adopted to eliminate the impact of the rDCB variability on the retrieval of the ionospheric TEC from dual-frequency (DF) GNSS observations. In this contribution, we extend the MCCL method from two aspects. First, the DF MCCL method is adapted to the multi-frequency (MF) case, in which DF, triple-frequency or even arbitrary-frequency observations can be readily processed to simultaneously estimate both the ionospheric TEC and rDCB variations. Second, the MCCL method is refined to enable the handling of GLONASS data by accounting for the effects of code inter-frequency biases induced by the frequency division multiple access (FDMA) technology. Based on the test results, the retrieval accuracy of the ionospheric TEC using our proposed method can be improved from 9.47 TECu to 2.67 TECu in the presence of significant intraday rDCB variations. We discovered that the maximum difference in the rDCB variations of the same satellite system between different frequency bands can be as large as 10 ns. The dependence of multi-GNSS and MF rDCB variations on the ambient temperature is further verified in this study. The results show that the temperature dependence of rDCB varies among different satellite systems and frequency bands. Compared to the Galileo, GPS and GLONASS satellite systems, the Beidou system (BDS) rDCB estimates exhibit a stronger correlation with the measured temperature. The percentages of stations with the mean absolute Pearson correlation coefficient value above 0.8 are 27.17% for GPS, 30.58% for GLONASS, 43.78% for BDS and 33.9% for Galileo, respectively.

In this article, a method is presented for prediction of GNSS positioning integrity for ITS journey planning. This information, in addition to other route information, such as distance and time, can be utilized to choose the safest and economical route. We propose to combine the Advanced Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (ARAIM) technique, tailored for ITS, with 3D city models. Positioning is performed by GNSS Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) method, which can provide the accuracy required for ITS. A new threat model employed for computation of the protection levels (PLs) for RTK positioning is discussed. Demonstration of the proposed approach is performed through a kinematic test in an urban area in Tokyo. The comparison between the prediction method and the actual observations show that the two estimate close satellite geometry and PLs. The method produced PLs that bounds the actual position errors all the time and they were less than the preset alert limit.
