In this paper, we focus on the performance of multi-GNSS satellite clock prediction and its application in real-time PPP. Based on the statistical analysis of multi-system satellite clock products, a model consisting of polynomial and periodic terms is employed for multi-system satellite clock prediction. To evaluate the method proposed, both post-processed and real-time satellite clock products are employed in simulated real-time processing mode. The results show that the accuracy of satellite clock prediction is related to atomic clock type and satellite type. For GPS satellites, the average standard deviations (STDs) of Cs atomic clocks will reach as high as 0.65 ns while the STD of Rb atomic clocks is only about 0.15 ns. As for BDS and Galileo, the average STD of 2-hour satellite clock prediction are 0.30 ns and 0.06 ns, respectively. In addition, it is validated that real-time PPP can still achieve positioning accuracy of one to three decimeters by using products of 2-hour satellite clock prediction. Moreover, compared to the results of GPS-only PPP, multi-system can greatly enhance the accuracy of real-time PPP from 12.5% to 18.5% in different situations.

These metadata are critical for improving the accuracy of precise orbit and clock determination. In this contribution, we evaluate the benefits of these new metadata to orbit and clock in three aspects: the phase center offsets and variations (PCO and PCV), the yaw-attitude model and solar radiation pressure (SRP) model. The updating of Galileo PCO and PCV corrections, from the values estimated by Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt and Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum to the chamber calibrations disclosed by new metadata, has only a slight influence on Galileo orbits, with overlap differences within only 1 mm. By modeling the yaw attitude of Galileo satellites and QZS-2 spacecraft (SVN J002) according to new published attitude laws, the residuals of ionosphere-free carrier-phase combinations can be obviously decreased in yaw maneuver seasons. With the new attitude models, the 3D overlap RMS in eclipse seasons can be decreased from 12.3 cm, 14.7 cm, 16.8 cm and 34.7 cm to 11.7 cm, 13.4 cm, 15.8 cm and 32.9 cm for Galileo In-Orbit Validation (IOV), Full Operational Capability (FOC), FOC in elliptical orbits (FOCe) and QZS-2 satellites, respectively. By applying the a priori box-wing SRP model with new satellite dimensions and optical coefficients, the 3D overlap RMS are 5.3 cm, 6.2 cm, 5.3 cm and 16.6 cm for Galileo IOV, FOCe, FOC and QZS-2 satellites, with improvements of 11.0%, 14.7%, 14.0% and 13.8% when compared with the updated Extended CODE Orbit Model (ECOM2). The satellite laser ranging (SLR) validation reveals that the a priori box-wing model has smaller mean biases of − 0.4 cm, − 0.4 cm and 0.6 cm for Galileo FOCe, FOC and QZS-2 satellites, while a slightly larger mean bias of − 1.0 cm is observed for Galileo IOV satellites. Moreover, the SLR residual dependencies of Galileo IOV and FOC satellites on the elongation angle almost vanish when the a priori box-wing SRP model is applied. As for satellite clocks, a visible bump appears in the Modified Allan deviation at integration time of 20,000 s for Galileo Passive Hydrogen Maser with ECOM2, while it almost vanishes when the a priori box-wing SRP model and new metadata are applied. The standard deviations of clock overlap can also be significantly reduced by using new metadata.

With the rapid development of the multiple global navigation satellite systems (Multi-GNSS), about 120 satellites will be processed for Multi-GNSS real-time clock estimation. Unfortunately, the computation is very time-consuming, especially for quality control since problematic observations are inevitable. Taking advantage of computer technology, sequential least square adjustment with an adapted online quality control procedure is developed to rapidly estimate Multi-GNSS real-time clocks, although various filtering estimators are commonly used now. A globally distributed network including 70 stations tracking mostly satellites of GPS, GLONASS, BDS, and Galileo is employed for experimental validation. The results show that the computation time per epoch is less than 3 s in average and can meet the 5 s update rate of the IGS real-time clock product. Compared to the GeoForschungsZentrum MGEX (GBM) final clock product, the averaged STD values of the estimated clocks of the four GNSS systems are 0.089 ns and 0.153 ns, respectively, for the clock solutions with and without the online quality control, which also confirms the importance of the quality control procedure. The Multi-GNSS kinematic PPP experiment using the estimated clocks with quality control shows that the positioning RMS is about 4 cm and generally 2 cm in vertical and horizontal components, respectively, and the corresponding convergence time is about 15 min.

Processing of GNSS constellations and ground station networks using the raw observation approach / Sebastian Strasser in Journal of geodesy, vol 93 n°7 (July 2019)

To assess the performance of the approach, 15 years (2003–2017) of observations from a network of 245 globally distributed IGS stations to the GPS constellation were processed on a daily basis using the IGS14 reference frame and antenna calibrations. The resulting products are evaluated against those determined by IGS analysis centers. Orbit fit quality relative to the IGS combination is comparable to the best-fitting solutions used for evaluation. Starting from early 2017, when the IGS switched to IGS14, the determined orbits fit better to the IGS combination than any other considered solution. Midnight discontinuities show good internal orbit consistency and no noticeable satellite block-dependency. Satellite clocks are comparable to the considered IGS analysis center solutions. Station positions differ from the IGS combination on a similar level to the solutions they were evaluated against. The temporal repeatability of station positions is slightly better than that of the IGS combination. The quality of resulting GNSS products confirms that the raw observation approach is well suited for the task of determining satellite orbits, clocks, and station positions. It provides an alternative to well-established approaches used by IGS analysis centers and simplifies the introduction of additional observables from new and modernized GNSS.

Real-time GPS satellite orbit and clock estimation based on OpenMP / Kaifa Kuang in Advances in space research, vol 63 n° 8 (15 April 2019)  

Public [article]  inAdvances in space research > vol 63 n° 8 (15 April 2019) . - pp 2378 - 2386 Titre : Real-time GPS satellite orbit and clock estimation based on OpenMP Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Kaifa Kuang, Auteur ; Shoujian Zhang, Auteur ; Jian Cheng Li, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 2378 - 2386 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] estimation statistique [Termes descripteurs IGN] filtre de Kalman [Termes descripteurs IGN] horloge du satellite [Termes descripteurs IGN] modèle mathématique [Termes descripteurs IGN] Open Multi-Processing [Termes descripteurs IGN] orbite [Termes descripteurs IGN] temps réel Résumé : (Auteur) Real-time precise GNSS satellite orbit and clock products are the prerequisite of real-time GNSS-based applications. To obtain real-time GNSS satellite orbit and clock, three approaches exist currently, namely, the prediction-estimation approach, the prediction-correction approach and the estimation approach. Different from the former two approaches, which are based on the predicted orbit, the last approach estimates orbit and clock in an integrated way, thus it is the most rigorous one. However, the simultaneously estimation of both orbit and clock parameters makes it very time-consuming. In this contribution, the extended Kalman filter with parallel computation proposed for real-time GPS satellite clock estimation (Gao et al., 2017) is introduced to improve the computational efficiency. In the introduced method, the epoch observations are processed sequentially and the covariance update process is accelerated with the Open Multi-Processing. With observation data from about 70 globally distributed stations spanning days 001–003 of 2018, the real-time GPS orbit and clock are estimated for validation. The epoch average processing time of the introduced method achieves around 2.9 s on average with 16 CPU cores, while that of the traditional method without Open Multi-Processing is about 4.1 s. When compare the estimated orbit and clock to the IGS final products, the daily constellation-mean RMS of orbit achieve 2.7, 5.7, 4.9 cm for the radial, along-track and cross-track respectively, while the daily constellation-mean STD of the clock is about 0.10 ns. The numerical experiments indicate that the introduced method is able to provide real-time sub-decimeter GPS orbit and clock within 10.0 s considering the time for data collection and corrections broadcast.
