As one of the most challenging error sources affecting Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), scintillation can significantly degrade the performance of GNSS receivers, thereby leading to increased positioning errors. This study analyzes Global Positioning System (GPS) scintillation data recorded by two ionospheric scintillation monitoring receivers operational, respectively, in the Arctic and northern Canada during a geomagnetic storm in 2019. A novel approach is proposed to calculate 1-s scintillation indices. The 1-s receiver tracking error variances are then estimated, which are further used to mitigate the high latitude scintillation effects on GPS Precise Point Positioning. Results show that the 1-s scintillation indices can describe the signal fluctuations under scintillation more accurately. With the mitigation approach, the 3D positioning error is greatly reduced under scintillation analyzed in this study. Additionally, the 1-s tracking error variance achieves a better performance in scintillation mitigation compared with the previous approach which exploits 1-min tracking error variance estimated by the commonly used 1-min scintillation indices. This work is relevant for a better understanding of the high latitude scintillation effects on GNSS and is also beneficial for developing scintillation mitigation tools for GNSS positioning.

Such applications require high integrity, availability, and continuity of the positioning service. Integrity is assessed by the definition of a protection level, which is an estimation of the maximum positioning error at extremely low probability levels. The emergence of multi-frequency civilian signals and the availability of satellite-based augmentation systems improve the modeling of ionospheric disturbances considerably. As a result, in many applications the tropospheric delay tends to become one of the limiting factors of positioning—especially at low elevation angles. The currently adopted integrity concepts employ a global constant to model the variance of the residual tropospheric delay error. We introduce a new approach to derive residual tropospheric delay error models using the extreme value analysis technique. Seventeen years of global numerical weather model fields are analyzed, and new residual error models are derived for some recently developed tropospheric delay models. Our approach provides models that consider both the geographical location and the seasonal variation of meteorological parameters. Our models are validated with a 17-year-long time series of zenith tropospheric delay estimates as provided by the International GNSS Service. The results show that the developed models are still conservative, while the maximal residual error of the tropospheric delay is still improved by 39–55%. This improvement yields higher service availability and continuity in safety-of-life applications of GNSS.

Assessing the quality of ionospheric models through GNSS positioning error: methodology and results / Adria Rovira-Garcia in GPS solutions, vol 24 n° 1 (January 2020)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 24 n° 1 (January 2020) Titre : Assessing the quality of ionospheric models through GNSS positioning error: methodology and results Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Adria Rovira-Garcia, Auteur ; Deimos Ibáñez-Segura, Auteur ; Raül Orús-Pérez, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Navigation et positionnement [Termes IGN] erreur de positionnement [Termes IGN] International GNSS Service [Termes IGN] modèle ionosphérique [Termes IGN] phase [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] retard ionosphèrique [Termes IGN] trajet multiple [Termes IGN] valeur aberrante Résumé : (Auteur) Single-frequency users of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) must correct for the ionospheric delay. These corrections are available from global ionospheric models (GIMs). Therefore, the accuracy of the GIM is important because the unmodeled or incorrectly part of ionospheric delay contributes to the positioning error of GNSS-based positioning. However, the positioning error of receivers located at known coordinates can be used to infer the accuracy of GIMs in a simple manner. This is why assessment of GIMs by means of the position domain is often used as an alternative to assessments in the ionospheric delay domain. The latter method requires accurate reference ionospheric values obtained from a network solution and complex geodetic modeling. However, evaluations using the positioning error method present several difficulties, as evidenced in recent works, that can lead to inconsistent results compared to the tests using the ionospheric delay domain. We analyze the reasons why such inconsistencies occur, applying both methodologies. We have computed the position of 34 permanent stations for the entire year of 2014 within the last Solar Maximum. The positioning tests have been done using code pseudoranges and carrier-phase leveled (CCL) measurements. We identify the error sources that make it difficult to distinguish the part of the positioning error that is attributable to the ionospheric correction: the measurement noise, pseudorange multipath, evaluation metric, and outliers. Once these error sources are considered, we obtain equivalent results to those found in the ionospheric delay domain assessments. Accurate GIMs can provide single-frequency navigation positioning at the decimeter level using CCL measurements and better positions than those obtained using the dual-frequency ionospheric-free combination of pseudoranges. Finally, some recommendations are provided for further studies of ionospheric models using the position domain method.

Partial GNSS ambiguity resolution in coordinate domain / Shengyue Ji in Survey review, vol 51 n° 369 (November 2019)

However, identifying which subset of ambiguities to fix is not easy and is still an open problem. Since the actual purpose of most applications is positioning, rather than fixing all or part of the ambiguities, in this research, we are trying to bypass the problem of identifying which subset of ambiguities to fix and provide a partial solution in the coordinate domain for the bias-free case. The basic idea is that with a user-defined failure rate, we can find a group of ambiguity candidates and each will provide one position. The partial solution is constructed based on these positions together with an indicator to show its maximum positioning error with user-defined reliability. In order to meet various user requirements, different kinds of partial solutions in coordinate domain are proposed. Different from the traditional PAR methods, the new method still works with all the ambiguities (i.e. the complete vector), but works with the different possible values that the complete ambiguity vector may take. The validness and applicability of the proposed partial solution are demonstrated-based practical BeiDou triple-frequency observations. Numerical results show that some partial solutions can be more accurate, while others can meet higher reliability or integrity requirement.

Analysis of higher-order ionospheric effects on GNSS precise point positioning in the China area / Yaozong Zhou in Survey review, vol 51 n° 368 (September 2019)  

Public [article]  inSurvey review > vol 51 n° 368 (September 2019) . - pp 442 - 449 Titre : Analysis of higher-order ionospheric effects on GNSS precise point positioning in the China area Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Yaozong Zhou, Auteur ; Cuilin Kuang, Auteur ; Changsheng Cai, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 442 - 449 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] Bernese [Termes IGN] Chine [Termes IGN] correction ionosphérique [Termes IGN] erreur de positionnement [Termes IGN] perturbation ionosphérique [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis Résumé : (Auteur) Higher-order ionospheric error may reach several millimetres in the case of high ionospheric activity, which affects some high-accuracy applications, such as crustal movement monitoring, earthquake disaster prediction, plate motion monitoring and coordinate frame maintenance. However, accounting for higher-order ionospheric error is not yet a common strategy for regional global navigation satellite system (GNSS) network data processing. This study investigates the higher-order ionospheric effects on precise point positioning (PPP) in the China area with GNSS data selected from some IGS stations and some CMONOC stations. The Bernese GNSS software was used to calculate the effects of higher-order ionospheric error on the PPP estimated coordinates. The numerical results show that higher-order ionospheric positioning errors become larger as the station latitude decreases or the ionospheric activity increases. In addition, the positioning errors in the north direction are larger than those in the east and up directions and may reach 6 mm in south China.
