There are now nearly 90 satellites providing multi-frequency signals. This contribution aims to achieve fast convergence of a few seconds for BDS/Galileo/GPS/QZSS integrated triple-frequency PPP with integer ambiguity resolution (IAR) without atmosphere corrections. A unified model of an uncombined and undifferenced manner for PPP-IAR with dual- and triple-frequency observations is presented. The uncalibrated phase delays (UPD) of extra wide-lane (EWL), wide-lane (WL), and N1 ambiguities for triple-frequency PPP are estimated with standard deviations of 0.02, 0.05, and 0.10 cycles achieved, respectively. The PPP-IAR validation based on 20 stations evenly distributed in China is conducted using UPD products generated from a regional network covering a large part of China. The EWL, WL, and N1 ambiguities are sequentially fixed utilizing the least-squares ambiguity decorrelation adjustment (LAMBDA) technique. In terms of convergence time, PPP instantaneous IAR is achievable without using atmosphere corrections, thanks to the contribution of the multi-frequency and multi-constellation observations. This has been proved by performing PPP-IAR restart every 10-min over 2520 times in our case study. For PPP-IAR solutions produced with BDS/Galileo/GPS/QZSS triple-frequency observations with an interval of 1 s, the convergence is fulfilled within 1 s for the horizontal components with an accuracy of better than 5 cm, while 2 s for the vertical component with better than 10 cm accuracy, and both are at 95% confidence level.

Orbit determination, clock estimation and performance evaluation of BDS-3 PPP-B2b service / Chengpan Tang in Journal of geodesy, vol 96 n° 9 (September 2022)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 96 n° 9 (September 2022) . - n° 60 Titre : Orbit determination, clock estimation and performance evaluation of BDS-3 PPP-B2b service Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Chengpan Tang, Auteur ; Xiaogong Hu, Auteur ; Jinping Chen, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 60 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] filtre de Kalman [Termes IGN] horloge du satellite [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] positionnement par BeiDou [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] temps réel Résumé : (auteur) This paper focuses on PPP-B2b, one of the featured services for BDS-3, which provides users around China with centimetre-level static positioning accuracy and decimetre-level kinematic positioning accuracy by broadcasting precise corrections for GPS/BDS-3 satellites. The GEO PPP-B2b signal broadcasted information types, including the PRN mask, orbit corrections, differential code bias corrections and clock corrections, are introduced, as well as a brief description of their usage. A new orbit determination strategy using regional L-band code/phase measurements and inter-satellite link measurements in combination and a real-time clock estimation strategy based on the Kalman filter for PPP-B2b precise correction generation are introduced in this contribution. Then, the accuracy of the orbit and clock corrections is assessed. The orbit user ranging error (URE) is 0.05 m for the BDS-3 MEO and GPS satellites. The orbit URE for BDS-3 IGSO satellites is worse, i.e., 0.15 m. The clock correction accuracy is 0.2 ns for BDS-3 and GPS satellites. Finally, the PPP-B2b performance is validated by both the static PPP process and simulated kinematic PPP process. BDS-3/GPS dual-system PPP offers faster convergence and better accuracy. The positioning accuracy achievable using PPP-B2b real-time products is at the same level as that using post-processed products. The RMS for BDS-3/GPS dual-system static positioning errors is less than 1.0 cm in east and north and about 3.0 cm in the up. The simulated kinematic positioning accuracy is better than 2.5 cm in the north, 3.5 cm in the east and 8.5 cm in the up directions after convergence.

To fulfil a train control system’s aim of reducing the need to install trackside equipment, the GNSS precise point positioning (PPP) method is applied in place of the conventional differential GNSS method. As the railway environment has the character of long operational mileage and complex GNSS measurement conditions, the GPS and BDS constellations are combined with measurement processing to improve the system’s continuity and stability. Ultra-rapid GNSS orbit and clock product is used for real-time PPP. The GNSS-PPP and IMU are tightly coupled using an Extended Kalman filter with single-differenced ionospheric-free GPS + BDS carrier phase and pseudorange observations. The carrier phase ambiguities are estimated as “float” values every epoch to reduce the impact of GNSS signal loss-of-lock and cycle slips. A train experiment was conducted on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway to evaluate system performance. The results show that the proposed system has a better performance than the conventional methods, including GPS + BDS PPP, LC GPS + BDS PPP/IMU and TC GPS PPP/IMU, with 52.1%, 49.4% and 52.1%, respectively. The tightly-coupled GPS + BDS PPP/IMU system under conditions of partly blocked GNSS coverage was evaluated to evaluate the system's continuity. It was confirmed that the proposed system had more stable positioning results and higher positioning accuracy.

Multi-frequency phase-only PPP-RTK model applied to BeiDou data / Pengyu Hou in GPS solutions, vol 26 n° 3 (July 2022)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 26 n° 3 (July 2022) . - n° 76 Titre : Multi-frequency phase-only PPP-RTK model applied to BeiDou data Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Pengyu Hou, Auteur ; Baocheng Zhang, Auteur ; Yury V. Yasyukevich, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 76 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes IGN] données BeiDou [Termes IGN] erreur de phase [Termes IGN] fréquence multiple [Termes IGN] modèle de simulation [Termes IGN] phase GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes IGN] positionnement par BeiDou [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] résolution d'ambiguïté [Termes IGN] retard ionosphèrique [Termes IGN] trajet multiple Résumé : (auteur) Typically, navigation software processes global navigation satellite system (GNSS) phase observables along with the code observables to achieve high-precision positioning. However, the unmodeled code-related errors, typically multipath effects, may deteriorate the positioning performance. Such effects are well known for the second generation BeiDou navigation satellite system (BDS-2). To prevent this adverse effect on the state-of-the-art positioning technique, namely integer ambiguity resolution-enabled precise point positioning (PPP-RTK), we propose a multi-frequency phase-only PPP-RTK model. This model excludes the code observables and addresses the rank deficiency problem underlying the phase observation equations at the undifferenced and uncombined level. To verify the model, we collect five-day triple-frequency BDS 30-s data from a network of seven reference stations (about 112 km apart) to estimate the products on the network side. Based on these products, we conduct simulated dynamic positioning at a user station to test the phase-only PPP-RTK model and compare it with the customary code-plus-phase (CPP) model. The results show that the satellite phase biases, existing only at the third frequency, have a precision of better than two centimeters, while the precision of the satellite clock and ionospheric delay is better than eight centimeters. Due to the strong correlation between individual corrections, it is necessary to assess the quality of combined products, including the satellite clock, satellite phase bias and ionospheric delay, the precision of which is several millimeters to two centimeters, which is sufficiently precise for user positioning. Regarding BDS-2 positioning, the time-to-first-fix (TTFF) of the CPP PPP-RTK is 12 epochs, while it is only three epochs for the phase-only PPP-RTK. The reason why the CPP model underperforms the phase-only model is that the BDS-2 data collected are subject to notable code multipath. We show that the code multipath in the third-generation BDS (BDS-3) data is mild, so the CPP PPP-RTK achieves instantaneous centimeter-level positioning with a TTFF of one epoch. The BDS-3 phase-only PPP-RTK obtains virtually the same positioning results, but the TTFF is two epochs. When combining BDS-2 with BDS-3, the TTFF of both models remains unchanged compared to that of the BDS-3 solutions, implying that ambiguity resolution based on the stronger dual-system CPP model is robust to the BDS-2 code multipath. However, the ambiguity-float solution of the CPP PPP-RTK is adversely affected by the code multipath and requires 43 epochs to convergence, while its phase-only counterpart needs 36 epochs.

Characteristics of the BDS-3 multipath effect and mitigation methods using precise point positioning / Ran Lu in GPS solutions, vol 26 n° 2 (April 2022)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 26 n° 2 (April 2022) . - n° 41 Titre : Characteristics of the BDS-3 multipath effect and mitigation methods using precise point positioning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Ran Lu, Auteur ; Wen Chen, Auteur ; Chenglong Zhang, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 41 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] constellation BeiDou [Termes IGN] correction du trajet multiple [Termes IGN] modèle stochastique [Termes IGN] orbite géostationnaire [Termes IGN] orbite terrestre [Termes IGN] positionnement par BeiDou [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] répétabilité [Termes IGN] trajet multiple Résumé : (auteur) Multipath effect is one of the main challenges of precise point positioning (PPP) in complex environments. Nowadays, the BeiDou global navigation satellite system (BDS-3) constellation was fully operational. We evaluated the multipath characteristics of BDS-3 open-service signals. The results indicate that the B2a signal had the best anti-multipath performance, and B1C signal had the worst capability. Since BDS-3 satellites with different orbital types have different orbital repeat time, the traditional method based on multipath time-domain repeatability is complicated to alleviate the multipath error on BDS-3 satellites. In contrast, the multipath spatial-domain repeatability method does not need to calculate the orbital repeat times and is only related to the position of the satellite in the sky. It has the advantages of simple algorithm and easy implementation. We selected a multipath hemispherical map (MHM) and a MHM based on trend-surface analysis (T-MHM) to evaluate the effects of BDS-3 PPP multipath correction. The positioning results for the inclined geosynchronous orbit (IGSO) and medium earth orbit (MEO) satellites, which were separately modeled and corrected, are slightly better than those obtained when they were modeled and corrected together. Compared with the uncorrected multipath, the positioning accuracy of B1I/B3I and B1C/B2a ionospheric-free (IF) combinations using the MHM can be improved by 52.7% and 51.6% and the convergence time can be shortened by 48.6% and 57.5%, respectively. The positioning accuracy of B1I/B3I and B1C/B2a IF combinations using the T-MHM can be improved by 67% and 66.9% and the convergence time can be shortened by 69.3% and 76.5%, respectively. The T-MHM introduces trend-surface analysis to model the spatial variation of the multipath inside the grid, which effectively alleviates high-frequency and low-frequency multipath. This study is of great significance for further improvements to the application of BDS-3 in complex environments.
