However, with the continuous modernization of the existing constellations and rapid developments of the new systems, various new frequencies and types of GNSS signals are emerging, which makes the traditional DCB mode less flexible and efficient to handle the new situations and challenges. Recently, code biases in observation-specific representation, which finally provides observation-specific biases (OSBs), turns out to be a good solution and is gradually accepted by the GNSS community, though existing products are generated based on routine procedures and few studies concentrate on the new methods. In view of it, this study aims to propose a rigorous, flexible and efficient approach of OSB estimation for the modernized multi-frequency and, multi-GNSS signals. To achieve this, instead of being-based on linear combinations of raw observations in the existing literature, an extended multi-frequency geometry-free model is first established based on undifferenced and uncombined observations, which can adapt to observations of arbitrary frequencies and types in a compatible and flexible way and is used to extract the various types of linear combinations of the interested OSBs. Then, regarding the previously-obtained linear combinations as virtual observables after station-based ionosphere modeling, all OSB parameters are setup and estimated in a single normal equation, during which a clear identification and elimination of the rank deficiencies in the linear system is carefully conducted by introducing different types of constraints. The proposed new method is validated with one month of real data to generate totally 32 types of OSBs for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS. The estimated OSBs are compared with existing OSB and DCB products from other agencies. Results indicate that the proposed method can be used as a flexible and precise method for full-constellation and full-type OSB estimation.

Biases in GNSS positioning occur because of imperfections and/or physical limitations in the GNSS hardware. The biases are a result of small delays between events that ideally should be simultaneous in the transmission of the signal from a satellite or in the reception of the signal in a GNSS receiver. Consequently, these biases will also be present in the GNSS code and phase measurements and may there affect the accuracy of positions and other quantities derived from the observations. For instance, biases affect the ability to resolve the integer ambiguities in Precise Point Positioning (PPP), and in relative carrier phase positioning when measurements from multiple GNSSs are used. In addition, code biases affect ionospheric modeling when the Total Electron Content is estimated from GNSS measurements. The paper illustrates how satellite phase biases inhibit the resolution of the phase ambiguity to an integer in PPP, while receiver phase biases affect multi-GNSS positioning. It is also discussed how biases in the receiver channels affect relative GLONASS positioning with baselines of mixed receiver types. In addition, the importance of code biases between signals modulated onto different carriers as is required for modeling the ionosphere from GNSS measurements is discussed. The origin of biases is discussed along with their effect on GNSS positioning, and descriptions of how biases can be estimated or in other ways handled in the positioning process are provided.

Optimal Doppler-aided smoothing strategy for GNSS navigation / Zebo Zhou in GPS solutions, vol 21 n° 1 (January 2017)

However, the efficiency of CPSC suffers significantly from cycle slips, interruptions and jitters. The GNSS Doppler, as an instantaneous measurement, is robust and immune to cycle slips and proven useful in GNSS-challenged environments. We develop optimal Doppler-smoothed code based on the principle of minimum variance using the Hatch filter for two typical applications, which are called pure Doppler-smoothed code (PDSC) and continued Doppler-smoothed code. PDSC results from smoothing the code using only Doppler, whereas in case of continued Doppler-smoothed code, the smoothing continues using Doppler once the carrier phase becomes unavailable. Furthermore, in order to refine the Doppler-smoothed code model, a balance factor is introduced for adjusting the contributions of raw code and Doppler measurements to the smoothed code in case the Doppler noise is relatively large. Finally, experiments are carried out to demonstrate the performance of the theory, which verifies its validity and efficiency.

The detection–estimation problem is jointly solved to sequentially estimate the parameters of each individual multipath component and predict the existence of a next possible component. A comparison between contemporary maximum likelihood-based multipath estimation techniques and this new technique is provided. A selection of realistic channel simulation models is used to assess relative performance under different operating situations. A set of real GPS L1/CA data processing results are also presented to further assess the applicability of the proposed algorithm for urban navigation.

Ionospheric tomography using GNSS: multiplicative algebraic reconstruction technique applied to the area of Brazil / Fabricio Dos Santos Prol in GPS solutions, vol 20 n° 4 (October 2016)

Code and phase observations from the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) together with the international reference ionosphere (IRI) enabled the estimation of ionospheric profiles and total electron content (TEC) over the entire region. Twenty-four days of data collected from existing ground-based GNSS receivers during the recent solar maximum period were used to analyze the performance of the MART algorithm. The results were compared with four ionosondes. It was demonstrated that MART estimated the electron density peak with the same degree of accuracy as the IRI model in regions with appropriate geometrical coverage by GNSS receivers for tomographic reconstruction. In addition, the slant TEC, as estimated with MART, presented lower root-mean-square error than the TEC calculated by ionospheric maps available from the International GNSS Service (IGS). Furthermore, the daily variations of the ionosphere were better represented with the algebraic techniques, compared to the IRI model and IGS maps, enabling a correlation of the elevation of the ionosphere at higher altitudes with the equatorial ionization anomaly intensification. The tomographic representations also enabled the detection of high vertical gradients at the same instants in which ionospheric irregularities were evident.
