In this study, different techniques of dual-frequency absolute positioning using the fully serviceable Galileo constellation are evaluated for the first time and compared to the performance of GPS positioning. The daily static positioning based on the broadcast ephemeris using Galileo pseudoranges is significantly more accurate than the corresponding GPS solutions, obtaining the accuracy of a few decimeters. In the kinematic mode, the accuracy is better than 10 m and 20 m for the horizontal and vertical components, respectively, which is comparable to that of GPS. Precise absolute positioning using pseudorange and carrier phase Galileo observations combined with IGS Real-Time Service (RTS) or Multi-GNSS Experiment products is not yet as good as the corresponding GPS solutions. In the static mode, the root mean squared error (RMSE) between estimated and reference coordinates does not exceed 0.05 m and 0.06 m for the horizontal and vertical components, respectively. In the kinematic mode, the respective accuracies are better than 0.17 m and 0.21 m. Moreover, we show that both GPS and Galileo pseudorange solutions benefit from the RTS when compared to the broadcast solutions with the improvement in the accuracy between 10 and 59%. Remarkable results are achieved for Galileo Precise Point Positioning (PPP) solutions based on the broadcast ephemeris. In the static mode, the RMSE is 0.07 and 0.10 m for the horizontal and vertical components which is three and two times better, respectively, then the corresponding solutions based on GPS.

An improved robust Kalman filtering strategy for GNSS kinematic positioning considering small cycle slips / Wanke Liu in Advances in space research, vol 63 n° 9 (1 May 2019)  

Public [article]  inAdvances in space research > vol 63 n° 9 (1 May 2019) . - pp 2724 - 2734 Titre : An improved robust Kalman filtering strategy for GNSS kinematic positioning considering small cycle slips Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Wanke Liu, Auteur ; Jianlong Li, Auteur ; Qi Zeng, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 2724 - 2734 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] erreur absolue [Termes descripteurs IGN] erreur de positionnement [Termes descripteurs IGN] filtre de Kalman [Termes descripteurs IGN] glissement de cycle [Termes descripteurs IGN] matrice de covariance [Termes descripteurs IGN] phase [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement cinématique [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement différentiel [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes descripteurs IGN] résidu [Termes descripteurs IGN] valeur aberrante Résumé : (auteur) In GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) kinematic positioning, observations will be inevitably contaminated by cycle slips and gross errors, as the complex observation environment changes rapidly. These outliers will degrade the performance of classic Kalman filtering applied in GNSS kinematic resolution and eventually, the filtering may converge slowly or even diverge and thus the precision will be degraded. Therefore, a robust Kalman filter should be applied to resist the influence of these outliers that cannot be identified in the data preprocessing stage. Based on the conventional IGG (Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics) III equivalent weight method which addresses the outliers of the zero-weight segment with the same strategy, this paper proposes an improved robust Kalman filtering strategy that detects outliers by both posterior phase residuals and standardized residuals and handles the carrier-phase observation of zero-weight segment as cycle slips. In addition, to avoid unnecessary ambiguity reinitialization caused by the detected cycle slips, only when the carrier-phase observation of the same satellite is classified in the zero-weight segment over two consecutive epochs should the ambiguity be reinitialized. Experimental results of relative positioning show that the improved method can not only mitigate the influence of unexpected outliers in the Kalman filter but also improve the fixing rate of ambiguity resolution as well as the accuracy and reliability of positioning.

Precise orbit determination of the Sentinel-3A altimetry satellite using ambiguity-fixed GPS carrier phase observations / Olivier Montenbruck in Journal of geodesy, vol 92 n° 7 (July 2018)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 92 n° 7 (July 2018) . - pp 711 - 726 Titre : Precise orbit determination of the Sentinel-3A altimetry satellite using ambiguity-fixed GPS carrier phase observations Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Olivier Montenbruck, Auteur ; Stefan Hackel, Auteur ; Adrian Jäggi, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : pp 711 - 726 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Techniques orbitales [Termes descripteurs IGN] données altimétriques [Termes descripteurs IGN] double différence [Termes descripteurs IGN] orbitographie [Termes descripteurs IGN] phase [Termes descripteurs IGN] Sentinel-3 Résumé : (Auteur) The Sentinel-3 mission takes routine measurements of sea surface heights and depends crucially on accurate and precise knowledge of the spacecraft. Orbit determination with a targeted uncertainty of less than 2 cm in radial direction is supported through an onboard Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, a Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite instrument, and a complementary laser retroreflector for satellite laser ranging. Within this study, the potential of ambiguity fixing for GPS-only precise orbit determination (POD) of the Sentinel-3 spacecraft is assessed. A refined strategy for carrier phase generation out of low-level measurements is employed to cope with half-cycle ambiguities in the tracking of the Sentinel-3 GPS receiver that have so far inhibited ambiguity-fixed POD solutions. Rather than explicitly fixing double-difference phase ambiguities with respect to a network of terrestrial reference stations, a single-receiver ambiguity resolution concept is employed that builds on dedicated GPS orbit, clock, and wide-lane bias products provided by the CNES/CLS (Centre National d’Études Spatiales/Collecte Localisation Satellites) analysis center of the International GNSS Service. Compared to float ambiguity solutions, a notably improved precision can be inferred from laser ranging residuals. These decrease from roughly 9 mm down to 5 mm standard deviation for high-grade stations on average over low and high elevations. Furthermore, the ambiguity-fixed orbits offer a substantially improved cross-track accuracy and help to identify lateral offsets in the GPS antenna or center-of-mass (CoM) location. With respect to altimetry, the improved orbit precision also benefits the global consistency of sea surface measurements. However, modeling of the absolute height continues to rely on proper dynamical models for the spacecraft motion as well as ground calibrations for the relative position of the altimeter reference point and the CoM.

Carrier phase bias estimation of geometry-free linear combination of GNSS signals for ionospheric TEC modeling / Anna Krypiak-Gregorczyk in GPS solutions, vol 22 n° 2 (April 2018)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 22 n° 2 (April 2018) . - pp 22 - 45 Titre : Carrier phase bias estimation of geometry-free linear combination of GNSS signals for ionospheric TEC modeling Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Anna Krypiak-Gregorczyk, Auteur ; Pawel Wielgosz, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : pp 22 - 45 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes descripteurs IGN] combinaison linéaire [Termes descripteurs IGN] erreur systématique [Termes descripteurs IGN] modèle ionosphérique [Termes descripteurs IGN] phase [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes descripteurs IGN] retard ionosphèrique [Termes descripteurs IGN] signal GNSS [Termes descripteurs IGN] teneur totale en électrons [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement de données GNSS Résumé : (Auteur) The ionosphere can be modeled and studied using multi-frequency GNSS signals and their geometry-free linear combination. Therefore, a number of GNSS-derived ionospheric models have been developed and applied in a broad range of applications. However, due to the complexity of estimating the carrier phase ambiguities, most of these models are based on low-accuracy carrier phase smoothed pseudorange data. This, in turn, critically limits their accuracy and applicability. Therefore, we present a new methodology of estimating the phase bias of the scaled L1 and L2 carrier phase difference which is a function of the ambiguities, the ionospheric delay, and hardware delays. This methodology is suitable for ionospheric modeling at regional and continental scales. In addition, we present its evaluation under varying ionospheric conditions. The test results show that the carrier phase bias of geometry-free linear combination can be estimated with a very high accuracy, which consequently allows for calculating ionospheric TEC with the uncertainty lower than 1.0 TECU. This high accuracy makes the resulting ionosphere model suitable for improving GNSS positioning for high-precision applications in geosciences.

Mixed integer–real least squares estimation for precise GNSS positioning using a modified ambiguity function approach / Krzysztof Nowel in GPS solutions, vol 22 n° 1 (January 2018)    

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 22 n° 1 (January 2018) Titre : Mixed integer–real least squares estimation for precise GNSS positioning using a modified ambiguity function approach Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Krzysztof Nowel, Auteur ; Sławomir Cellmer, Auteur ; Dawid Kwaśniak, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes descripteurs IGN] diagramme de Voronoï [Termes descripteurs IGN] méthode des moindres carrés [Termes descripteurs IGN] phase [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement par GNSS Résumé : (auteur) Mixed integer–real least squares (MIRLS) estimation still has two open scientific problems, i.e., the validation of results and computational efficiency for a large number of satellites. This paper presents and discusses a non-conventional approach to MIRLS estimation, which belongs to the ambiguity function method (AFM) class. Because the solution is searched for in the constant three-dimensional coordinate domain instead of the n-dimensional ambiguity domain, the computational efficiency does not depend as much on the number of satellites as it does in conventional MIRLS estimation. Simple numerical pretests have shown that the reliability and precision of results from the presented approach and the conventional MIRLS estimation are exactly the same. Hence, the presented approach, contrary to AFM, may be treated as MIRLS estimation. Furthermore, the presented approach is a few hundred times faster than AFM and may be considered in (near) real-time GNSS positioning. In light of the above, the new field of research on MIRLS estimation may be opened.
