The precise point positioning (PPP) technique, which can provide a global accurate positioning service using a single global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver, has attracted much attention. Nevertheless, due to the cycle slips and multipath effects in the GNSS signal, the performance of PPP is severely degraded in urban areas, which has a negative effect on the PPP/inertial navigation system (INS)/vision integrated navigation. Moreover, the carrier phase observations with un-modeled multipath cause false detection of small cycle slips and lead to deviation in the state variable estimation in PPP. Therefore, an effective cycle slip/multipath estimation, detection and mitigation (EDM) method is proposed. A clustering method is used to separate the cycle slips and multipath from the carrier phase observations aided by visual inertial odometry (VIO) positioning results. The influence of the carrier phase multipath on state variable estimation is reduced by adjusting the stochastic ambiguity model in the Kalman filter. The proposed EDM method is validated by vehicle experiments conducted in urban and freeway areas. Experimental results demonstrate that 0.2% cycle slip detection error is achieved by our method. Besides, the multipath estimation accuracy of EDM improves by more than 50% compared with the geometry-based (GB) method. Regarding positioning accuracy, the EDM method has a maximum of 72.2% and 63.2% improvement compared to traditional geometry-free (GF) and GB methods.

However, it leads to an increasing number of false alarms in detecting cycle slips under disturbed ionospheric conditions. Besides, once the method detects a cycle slip at one satellite, it treats dual frequencies with cycle slips rather than at one frequency. Considering these two challenges, we developed a solution-based iterative filter detection method to reduce the number of spurious cycle slip detection under disturbed ionospheric conditions. The method initially assumes that there is no cycle slip at each frequency. We then estimate the solutions without cycle slips. A decision of exiting cycle slips is made by examining and comparing the two results solutions with or without cycle slips in terms of usable satellites, ambiguities, and residuals. The uncombined precise point positioning (PPP) during disturbed ionospheric conditions on 17 March 2015 at high latitude was studied to validate the proposed method. Results showed that the detected number of spurious cycle slips was reduced significantly. With fewer marked cycle slips, more stable and smoother positioning performance was achieved when fewer ambiguity parameters were reinitialized.

An efficient method to compensate receiver clock jumps in real-time precise point positioning / Shaoguang Xu in Remote sensing, vol 14 n° 20 (October-2 2022)  

Public [article]  inRemote sensing > vol 14 n° 20 (October-2 2022) . - n° 5222 Titre : An efficient method to compensate receiver clock jumps in real-time precise point positioning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Shaoguang Xu, Auteur ; Jialu Long, Auteur ; Jinling Wang, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 5222 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes IGN] décalage d'horloge [Termes IGN] erreur de positionnement [Termes IGN] glissement de cycle [Termes IGN] horloge du récepteur [Termes IGN] phase [Termes IGN] positionnement cinématique en temps réel [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] retard troposphérique zénithal [Termes IGN] temps réel Résumé : (auteur) In global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs)-based positioning, user receiver clock jump is a common phenomenon on the low-cost receiver clocks and can break the continuity of observation time tag, carrier phase and pseudo range. The discontinuity may affect precise point positioning-related parameter estimation, including receiver clock error, position, troposphere and ionosphere parameters. It is important to note that these parameters can be used for timing, positioning, atmospheric inversion and so on. In response to this problem, the receiver clock jumps are divided into two types. The first one can be expressed by the carrier phase and pseudo range having the same scale jump, and the second one is that they are having different scale jumps. For the first type, if a small priori variance of receiver clock error is provided, it can affect the accuracy of ionospheric delay estimation both in static and kinematic mode, while in the latter mode, it also affects position estimation. However, if large process noise is provided, numerical problems may arise since other parameters’ process noises are usually small, it is proposed to use the single point positioning with pseudo ranges to provide a priori value of receiver clock error, and an empiric value is assigned to its prior variance, this handle can avoid the above problems. For the second type, instead of compensating so many raw observations in the traditional methods, it is proposed to compensate the ambiguities at the clock jump epochs only in a new method. The new method corrects the Melbourne–Wubbena (MW) combination firstly in order to avoid the misjudging of cycle slips for current epoch, and the second step is to compensate the corresponding ambiguities, then, after Kalman filtering, the MW and its mean should be corrected back in order to avoid the misjudging of cycle slips at the next epoch. This approach has the advantage of handling the clock jump epoch-wise and can avoid correcting the rest of the observations as the traditional methods used to. With the numerical validation examples both in static and kinematic modes, it shows the new method is simple but efficient for real time precise point positioning (PPP).

Few studies concentrate on positioning performance of IGS stations using different GNSS receivers under different geomagnetic storm conditions. This paper for the first time presents IF and UC PPP positioning performance of stations with different receivers during the quiet, moderate, intense, and super storms period. Firstly, a comprehensive investigation of geomagnetic storms effects on the occurrence of GPS cycle-slip and PPP positioning performance have been presented. Secondly, the influences of geomagnetic storms on the occurrence of cycle-slip and IF PPP positioning performance for stations using receivers provided by ‘JAVAD’, ‘LEICA’, and ‘TRIMBLE’ manufacturers have been comprehensively studied. Finally, this study investigates the geomagnetic storms effects on IF PPP positioning performance of stations using receiver types ‘JAVAD TRE_G3TH DELTA’, ‘JAVAD TRE_3 DELTA’, ‘LEICA GR25’, and ‘TRIMBLE NETR9’ by analysing observed data collected at mid-latitude region.

A batch algorithm for GNSS carrier phase cycle slip correction / Brian Breitsch in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 60 n° 2 (February 2022)

In these types of scenarios, GNSS signals often experience harsh propagation conditions, such as low signal-to-noise ratios, multipath, and semicoherent scattering. These conditions, in turn, lead to the frequent occurrence of cycle slips, which manifests as persistent discrete changes in the bias of the carrier phase measurement. In order to effectively use the precise GNSS phase measurements under such conditions, we argue that a window of high-rate measurements must be used. In addition, we suggest that enforcing sparsity in the occurrence of detected cycle slips can aid in detection. We, therefore, develop a batch cycle-slip detection and estimation method that is effective and computationally tractable under harsh signal conditions. This work focuses in particular on strong ionosphere scintillation, which is among the most difficult scenarios for estimating cycle slips. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on both simulated and real GNSS scintillation datasets, showing around a 90% reduction of slips.
