Full textAbstract:
This paper analyzes the feasibility of Global Positioning System (GPS) L2C signals for use with the space service volume (SSV) receiver on satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites equipped with L1 and L5 band signal transmitters. Augmentation signals transmitted at L1 and L5 bands from SBAS GEO satellites may interfere with the same bands of SSV GPS-receiving antennas. Therefore, the use of L1 and L5 band signals for the GPS SSV receiver on SBAS GEO satellites is prohibited, and the GPS L2C signal is selected. Unlike ground systems, the various constraints of space exploration in GEO should be considered. Therefore, signal feasibility analysis is essential before considering the use of new global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals in GEO. This paper presents satellite visibility, dilution of precision, and navigation solution error when the GPS L2C signal is used in GEO satellites through numerical simulation.

To meet the demands of civil aviation and other precise navigation applications, several satellite-based augmentation systems (SBASs) have been developed around the world, such as the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) for North America, the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) for Europe, the Multi-functional Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS) for Japan, the GPS (Global Positioning System) Aided GEO Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) for India, and the System for Differential Corrections and Monitoring (SDCM) for Russia. The SBASs broadcast messages to correct satellite orbit, clock, and ionosphere errors to augment the GPS positioning performance. In this paper, SBAS orbit, clock and ionospheric corrections are evaluated. Specifically, the orbit, clock and ionospheric corrections derived from SBAS messages are comprehensively evaluated using data collected from the above mentioned systems over 181 consective days. The evaluation indicates that the EGNOS outperforms other systems with signal-in-space range error (SISRE) at 0.645 m and ionospheric correction accuracy at 0.491 m, respectively. Meanwhile, the accuracy of SDCM is comparable to EGNOS with SISRE of 0.650 m and ionospheric correction accuracy of 0.523 m. For WAAS, the SISRE is 0.954 m and the accuracy of ionospheric correction is 0.505 m. The accuracies of the SBAS corrections from the MSAS and GAGAN systems, however, are significantly worse than those of others. The SISREs are 1.931 and 1.325 m and the accuracies of ionospheric corrections are 0.795 and 0.858 m, for MSAS and GAGAN, respectively. At the same time, GPS broadcast orbit, clock and ionospheric corrections are also evaluated. The results show that there are no significant improvements in the SISRE of the broadcast navigation data by applying SBAS corrections. On the other hand, the accuracy of SBAS ionospheric corrections is still much better than GPS broadcast ionospheric corrections, which could still be beneficial for single-frequency users.

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has become the primary means of obtaining Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) information at sea. The current capabilities of the Global Positioning System (GPS) constellation, although adequate for ocean navigation, have some shortfalls for coastal navigation: some user communities have a need for enhanced performance and they can benefit from the available “augmentation” techniques, resulting in improved GPS performance. Nowadays, the users can take advantage of Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBASs). The maritime domain has been used SBAS for several years and it is supported by GNSS receivers used in the recreational and professional sectors. The SBAS/European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) can be used to complement the differential GNSS (DGNSS) for the provision of enhanced accuracy and integrity information with additional benefits. There are different possible solutions for the transmission of SBAS/EGNOS information to maritime users, considering that the corrections can be available from different transmission means. The different options for the use of SBAS for maritime navigation, the benefits brought to mariners, as well as the associated regulations, standardization and service provision aspects, are presented in this article.

This paper presents the application of GNSS1, or more precisely of Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS), to vertical separation for en-route, approach and landing operations. Potential improvements in terms of operational benefit and of safety are described for two main applications. First, vertical separation between en-route aircraft, which requires a system available across wide areas. SBAS (EGNOS, WAAS, and MSAS) are very well suited for this purpose before GNSS2 becomes available. And secondly, vertical separation from the ground during approach and landing, for which preliminary design principles of instrument approach procedures and safety issues are presented. Approach and landing phases are the subject of discussions within ICAO GNSS-P. En-route phases have been listed as GNSS-P future work and by RTCA for development of new equipments.

Abstract. Rate of change of TEC (ROT) and its index (ROTI) are considered a good proxy to characterize the occurrence of ionospheric plasma irregularities like those observed after sunset at low latitudes. SBASs (satellite-based augmentation systems) are civil aviation systems that provide wide-area or regional improvement to single-frequency satellite navigation using GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) constellations. Plasma irregularities in the path of the GNSS signal after sunset cause severe phase fluctuations and loss of locks of the signals in GNSS receiver at low-latitude regions. ROTI is used in this paper to characterize plasma density ionospheric irregularities in central–western Africa under nominal and disturbed conditions and identified some days of irregularity inhibition. A specific low-latitude algorithm is used to emulate potential possible SBAS message using real GNSS data in the western African low-latitude region. The performance of a possible SBAS operation in the region under different ionospheric conditions is analysed. These conditions include effects of geomagnetic disturbed periods when SBAS performance appears to be enhanced due to ionospheric irregularity inhibition. The results of this paper could contribute to a feasibility assessment of a European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System-based SBAS in the sub-Saharan African region.

Space-based augmentation system (SBAS) provides correction information for improving the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positioning accuracy in real-time, which includes satellite orbit/clock and ionospheric delay corrections. At SBAS service area boundaries, the correction is not fully available to GNSS users and only a partial correction is available, mostly satellite orbit/clock information. By using the geospatial correlation property of the ionosphere delay information, the ionosphere correction coverage can be extended by a spatial extrapolation algorithm. This paper proposes extending SBAS ionosphere correction coverage by using a biharmonic spline extrapolation algorithm. The wide area augmentation system (WAAS) ionosphere map is extended and its ionospheric delay error is compared with the GPS Klobuchar model. The mean ionosphere error reduction at low latitude is 52.3%. The positioning accuracy of the extended ionosphere correction method is compared with the accuracy of the conventional SBAS positioning method when only a partial set of SBAS corrections are available. The mean positioning error reduction is 44.8%, and the positioning accuracy improvement is significant at low latitude.

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has become an integral part of air navigation. Delay of the GNSS signal in ionospheric layer is one of the most serious problems in using GNSS. Not only accuracy but also the safety is very important in air navigation, and for that reason the augmentation of basic GNSS is used to meet higher requirements of aviation industry. This paper discusses Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) avionics with special emphasis on correction of signal delay in ionospheric layer as one of the most significant error fixes and compares it with other GNSS based on-board equipment - with basic GNSS (GPS) in terms of accuracy and with Ground-Based Augmentation System (GBAS) generally. This article should therefore show reader the differences between the methods of calculating ionospheric corrections by SBAS and GBAS and explain the reasons of these methods, taking into account the area of intended use of both systems.

Full textAbstract:
In Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS), the correction messages are transmitted to the users' receivers via geostationary communication satellites (GEOS) at GPS L1 (1575·42 MHz) frequency. Severe scintillations in the equatorial zone disrupt geostationary satellite links even at L-band. Observations of scintillations at 1·5 GHz from Calcutta (22·58°N, 88·38°E geographic, 32°N magnetic dip), located near the crest of the equatorial anomaly in the Indian zone, show that scintillations occur in patches of duration varying from a few minutes to several hours. During the solar maximum years 1998–2000, severe scintillations (Scintillation Index [ges ]15 dB) were recorded for 48 hr 55 min (1·27%) out of the total observation time of 3868 hr 9 min in the local time interval 19 to 00 hrs. In order to have a fail-safe system, it is suggested that more than one geostationary satellite be used in SBAS so that, if one link is disrupted, the other can be used for transmission of correction messages to the GPS users. The minimum longitudinal separation between two GEOS required for reliable operation of SBAS has been estimated, from the cumulative distribution of scintillation patch duration, to be 57° in the Indian longitude zone.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses a method for improving the quality of navigation services for consumers with increased requirements for accuracy and reliability using satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS) and ground-based augmentation systems (GBAS). Augmentation systems provide users with corrections that are used to correct GNSS measurements and integrity information. Due to the existing restrictions on the number of satellites for which corrections are transmitted, the article proposes the optimal use of GPS satellites, which is an incomplete set of 27 satellites that will be used in the GLONASS/GPS/SBAS navigation service, while measurements of the full constellation of GLONASS satellites are used for positioning. It is proposed to carry out the choice of 27 from the existing constellation of 32 GPS satellites in such a way that the subsystem provides the maximum efficiency of using the GNSS signals. The optimization problem or finding the optimal set of excluded GNSS satellites is solved according to R. Bellman’s algorithm. The found optimal set of excluded GNSS satellites makes it possible to reduce VDOP in comparison with the non-optimal one by almost 24 % and thereby improve navigation performance using GLONASS/GPS signals and SBAS corrections.

AbstractFault detection and exclusion (FDE) is the main task for pre-processing of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positions and is a fundamental process in integrity monitoring that is needed to achieve reliable positioning for applications such as in intelligent transport systems. A widely used method is the solution separation (SS) algorithm. The FDE in SS traditionally builds the models assuming positioning errors are normally distributed. However, in urban environments, this traditional assumption may no longer be valid. The objective of this study is to investigate this and further examine the performance of alternative distributions, which can be useful for FDE modelling and thus improved navigation. In particular, it investigates characterization of positioning errors using GNSS when the Australian satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) test bed is used, which comprised different positioning modes, including single-point positioning (SPP) using the L1 global positioning system (GPS) legacy SBAS, the second-generation dual-frequency multi-constellation (DFMC) SBAS service for GPS and Galileo, and, finally, precise point positioning (PPP) using GPS and Galileo observations. Statistical analyses are carried out to study the position error distributions over different possible operational environments, including open sky, low-density urban environment, and high-density urban environment. Significant autocorrelation values are also found over all areas. This, however, is more evident for PPP solution. Furthermore, the applied distribution analyses applied suggest that in addition to the normal distribution, logistic, Weibull, and gamma distribution functions can fit the error data in various cases. This information can be used in building more representative FDE models according to the work environment.

Various combining methods have been proposed to utilize multi-satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) correction to provide accurate position in the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver. However, the proposed methods have not been objectively compared and analyzed, making it difficult to know which ones are effective for multi-GNSS positioning. This paper presents efficient methods of combining multi-SBAS corrections in multi-GNSS positioning by comparing three methods: correction domain integration, measurement domain integration, and position domain integration. The performance of the three methods were analyzed through a covariance analysis that was expanded to multi-GNSS and multi-SBAS. Then, the results were verified by experiments using real measurements and corrections. Furthermore, implementation issues, such as computational complexity, availability, and flexibility, are analyzed. As a result, three methods had the same precision, but different complexity, availability, and flexibility. These results will be important guidelines to design, implement, and analyze navigation systems based on multi-GNSS with multi-SBAS corrections.

BDS (Beidou Navigation Satellite System) integrates the legacy PNT (Positioning, Navigation, Timing) service and the authorized SBAS (Satellite-Based Augmentation Services) service. To support the requirement of decimeter-level positioning, four types of differential corrections are developed in the BDS SBAS, including the State Space Representation (SSR)-based satellite orbit/clock corrections, the Observation Space Representation (OSR)-based ionospheric grid corrections, and the partition comprehensive corrections. In this study, we summarize the features of these differential corrections, including their definition and usages. The function model of precise point positioning (PPP) for dual- and single-frequency users using the four types of BDS SBAS corrections are proposed. Datasets are collected from 34 stations over one month in 2019, and PPP is performed for all the datasets. Results show that the root mean square (RMS) of the positioning errors for static/kinematic dual-frequency (DF) PPP are of 12 cm/16 cm in horizontal and 18 cm/20 cm in vertical component, while for single-frequency (SF) PPP are of 14 cm/32 cm and 22 cm/40 cm, respectively. With regard to the convergence performance, the horizontal and vertical positioning errors of kinematic DF-PPP can converge to 0.5 m in less than 15 min and 20 min, respectively. As for the kinematic SF-PPP, it could converge to 0.8 m in horizontal and 1.0 m in vertical within 30 min, where the ionosphere-constrained PPP performs better than the UofC PPP approach, owing to the contribution of the ionospheric grid corrections.

Full textAbstract:
Ionospheric delay is a critical error source in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) and a principal aspect of Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) corrections. Grid Ionospheric Vertical Delays (GIVDs) are derived from the delays on Ionosphere Pierce Points (IPPs), which are observed by SBAS reference stations. SBAS master stations calculate ionospheric delay corrections by several methods, such as planar fit or Kriging. However, when there are not enough IPPs around an Ionosphere Grid Point (IGP) or the IPPs are unevenly distributed, the fitting accuracy of planar fit or Kriging is unsatisfactory. Moreover, the integrity bounds of Grid Ionospheric Vertical Errors (GIVEs) are overly conservative. Since Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are widely used in ionospheric research due to their self-adaptation, parallelism, non-linearity, robustness, and learnability, the ANN method for GIVD and GIVE derivation is proposed in this article. Networks are separately trained for IGPs, and five years of historical data are applied on network training. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is applied for dimensionality reduction of geomagnetic and solar indices, which is employed as a network input feature. Furthermore, the GIVE algorithm of the ANN method is derived based on the distribution of the residual random variable. Finally, experiments are conducted on 12 IGPs over the East China region. Under normal ionospheric conditions, compared with the planar fit and Kriging methods, the residual reduction of the ANN method is approximately 15%. The ANN method fits the ionospheric delay residual error better. The percentage of GIVE availability under 2.7 m increases at least 25 points in comparison to Kriging. Under disturbed conditions, due to a lack of training samples, the ANN method is incompetent compared with planar fit or Kriging.

The article presents the results of research on multi-SBAS (multi-satellite-based augmentation system) positioning in UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) technology. For this purpose, a new solution was developed for combining the UAV position navigation solution from several SBAS systems. In this particular case, the presented linear combination algorithm is based on the fusion of EGNOS (European geostationary navigation overlay service) and SDCM (system of differential correction and monitoring) positioning to determine the resultant UAV coordinates. The algorithm of the mathematical model uses weights of measurements in three ways, i.e., Variant I, the reciprocal of the number of tracked satellites from a single SBAS solution; Variant II, the inverse square of mean coordinate errors from a single SBAS solution; and Variant III, the reciprocal of UAV flight speed from a single SBAS solution. The research experiment used real GNSS (global navigation satellite system) navigation data recorded by the VTOL unmanned platform. The test flight was made in April 2020 in Poland, near Warsaw. Based on the developed research results, it was found that the highest accuracy of UAV positioning was obtained when using the weighting model for Variant II. In the weight model of Variant II, the accuracy of the solution of the UAV position increased by 1–2% for the horizontal components and 19–22% for the vertical component h, concerning the results obtained from the weighing Variants I and III. It is worth noting that the proposed research model significantly improves the results of determining the ellipsoidal height h. Compared to the arithmetic mean model, determining the h component in the Variant II weight model is improved by about 23%. The paper also shows the advantage of EGNOS+SDCM positioning over EGNOS positioning alone in determining the accuracy of the vertical component h. The obtained research results show the significant advantages of the multi-SBAS positioning model in UAV technology.

Abstract This paper describes the particularities of satellite navigation on the territory of Romania in search of solutions to improve the accuracy of these systems. The performance of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is influenced by many factors, including distortion of the signal, the influence of the ionosphere and the troposphere, multipath propagation. Some of these factors depend on the geographical position and the environment in which the navigation system is used. Moreover, Romania is located at the border of coverage of two Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) – European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) and System for Differential Corrections and Monitoring (SDCM) which leads to some peculiarities regarding satellite navigation.

The paper presents a new concept of determining the resultant position of a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) based on individual SBAS (Satellite-Based Augmentation System) determinations from all available EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) satellites for the SPP (Single Point Positioning) code method. To achieve this, the authors propose a weighted mean model to integrate EGNOS data. The weighted model was based on the inverse of the square of the mean position error along the component axes of the BLh ellipsoidal frame. The calculations included navigation data from the EGNOS S123, S126, S136 satellites. In turn, the resultant UAV position model was determined using the Scilab v.6.0.0 software. Based on the proposed computational strategy, the mean values of the UAV BLh coordinates’ standard deviation were better than 0.2 m (e.g., 0.0000018° = 0.01″ in angular measurement). Additionally, the numerical solution used made it possible to increase the UAV’s position accuracy by about 29% for Latitude, 46% for Longitude and 72% for ellipsoidal height compared to the standard SPP positioning in the GPS receiver. It is also worth noting that the standard deviation of the UAV position calculated from the weighted mean model improved by about 21 ÷ 50% compared to the arithmetic mean model’s solution. It can be concluded that the proposed research method allows for a significant improvement in the accuracy of UAV positioning with the use of EGNOS augmentation systems.

Centimeter level augmentation system (CLAS) of the quasi-zenith satellite system (QZSS) is the first precise point positioning-real time kinematic (PPP-RTK) augmentation system of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS), which is currently providing services for Japan. CLAS broadcasts the state-space representation of correction messages along with integrity messages regarding satellite faults and the quality index of each correction. In other GNSS augmentation systems, such as the space-based augmentation system (SBAS) of GNSS, the quality indices of correction messages are used to generate fault-free protection levels that represent a position bound containing a true user position with a probability of missed detections. Although the protection level equations are well defined for the SBAS, a protection level equation for the CLAS PPP-RTK service has not been rigorously discussed in the literature. This paper proposes a fault-free protection level equation for the PPP-RTK methods that considers the probability of correct integer ambiguity fixes in the GNSS carrier phase measurements as well as the CLAS correction quality messages. The computed protection levels with position errors were experimentally compared by processing the GNSS measurements from the GNSS Earth Observation Network (GEONET) stations in Japan and the L6 messages from the CLAS broadcast using the virtual reference station-real time kinematic (VRS-RTK) techniques. Our results, based on the GEONET dataset spanning 7 days, showed that the computed protection levels using the proposed equations were larger than the position errors for all epochs. In the dataset, the RMS errors of the CLAS VRS-RTK position were 4.6 and 14 cm in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, whereas the horizontal protection levels ranged from 25 cm to 2.3 m and the vertical protection levels ranged from 50 cm to 5.2 m based on fault-free integrity risk of 10−7.

Full textAbstract:
For low earth orbit (LEO) satellite GPS receivers, space-based augmentation system (SBAS) ephemeris/clock corrections can be applied to improve positioning accuracy in real time. The SBAS correction is only available within its service area, and the prediction of the SBAS corrections during the outage period can extend the coverage area. Two time series forecasting models, autoregressive moving average (ARMA) and autoregressive (AR), are proposed to predict the corrections outside the service area. A simulated GPS satellite visibility condition is applied to the WAAS correction data, and the prediction accuracy degradation, along with the time, is investigated. Prediction results using the SBAS rate of change information are compared, and the ARMA method yields a better accuracy than the rate method. The error reductions of the ephemeris and clock by the ARMA method over the rate method are 37.8% and 38.5%, respectively. The AR method shows a slightly better orbit accuracy than the rate method, but its clock accuracy is even worse than the rate method. If the SBAS correction is sufficiently accurate comparing with the required ephemeris accuracy of a real-time navigation filter, then the predicted SBAS correction may improve orbit determination accuracy.

The objective of this work is the evaluation of the performances of EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System) augmentation system in maritime navigation by comparing them with those obtained by other positioning methods as Single Point Positioning (SPP) and Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS). Preliminarily, EGNOS performances in an open-sky context were evaluated through static data downloaded by EGNOS RIMS (Ranging and Integrity Monitoring Stations) located in Rome. Then, for the maritime test carried out onboard a boat in the Gulf of Naples, two dual-frequency receivers were used: Xiaomi Mi 8 smartphone and u-blox ZED-F9P multi-band GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver, both in kinematic mode. At last, IMO (International Maritime Organization) requirements, established in IMO Resolution A.1046 (27), that a SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System) system in particular scenarios (coastal, inland-water, harbor navigation and ocean waters) must respect, were verified.

The main aim of this paper is to present the results of research on the application of a modified mathematical model to determine the quality parameters of SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System) satellite positioning in aviation. The authors developed a new calculation strategy to determine the resultant values of the parameters of accuracy, continuity, availability and integrity of SBAS positioning. To achieve it, a weighted mean model was used for the purposes of developing a mathematical algorithm to determine the resultant values of SBAS positioning. The created algorithm was implemented for two SBAS supporting systems, i.e., EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) and SDCM (System of Differential Correction and Monitoring). The algorithm was tested in a flight test conducted with a Diamond DA 20-C airplane in north-eastern Poland in 2020. The conducted research revealed that the resultant error of the position in 3D space determined with use of the proposed weighted mean model improved by, respectively, 1–7% in comparison to the standard arithmetic mean model and by 1–37% in comparison to a single SBAS/EGNOS solution. Moreover, the application of the Multi-SBAS positioning algorithm results in an increase in the nominal results of continuity and availability by 50% in comparison to the arithmetic mean model. Apart from that, the values of the integrity parameters determined with use of the proposed weighted mean model improved by 62–63% in comparison to the standard arithmetic mean model.

This paper discusses the preliminary performance analysis result of the Asia-Pacific Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) Test Bed. Currently, seven Asia-Pacific economies are participating in the Test Bed project, namely Australia, Chinese Taipei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. The Test Bed was commissioned in May 2006. The discussion topics in this paper include Test Bed system architecture and preliminary analysis of the system performance. As presented in this paper, while current Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) algorithms can improve the accuracy performance of GPS positioning results, it cannot fulfill the integrity performance required by civil aviation community. This paper analyzes the limitation of the algorithm and proposes future research topics related to the limitation.

In this study, a low-cost, software-defined Global Positioning System (GPS) and Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) Reflectometry (GPS&SBAS-R) system has been built and proposed to measure ocean-surface wave parameters on board the research vessel New Ocean Researcher 1 (R/V NOR-1) of Taiwan. A power-law, ocean-wave spectrum model has been used and applied with the Small Perturbation Method approach to solve the electromagnetic wave scattering problem from rough ocean surface, and compared with experimental seaborne GPS&SBAS-R observations. Meanwhile, the intensity scintillations of high-sampling GPS&SBAS-R signal acquisition data are thought to be caused by the moving of rough surfaces of the targeted ocean. We found that each derived scintillation power spectrum is a Fresnel-filtering result on ocean-surface elevation fluctuations and depends on the First Fresnel Zone (FFZ) distance and the ocean-surface wave velocity. The determined ocean-surface wave speeds have been compared and validated against nearby buoy measurements.

Abstract The Asia-Pacific GNSS Test Bed is a regional collaborative programme that brings together aviation practitioners in the field of satellite navigation within the Asia-Pacific to study the performance of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and to develop a regional plan that will lead to a successful implementation of GNSS in the region. The program is a work program under the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation GNSS Implementation Team (APEC GIT), a working group under the APEC. The Test Bed has been in operation since August 2006. The system architecture reflects hybrid architecture between a satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) and a ground-based augmentation system (GBAS). Test reference stations (TRSs), consisted of a dual-frequency GPS receiver, a communication interface, and a data archival hardware, have been installed in the participating economies. GPS data collected at the TRSs will be transmitted to the test master station (TMS) in Bangkok, Thailand. SBAS messages will be generated and the messages will be broadcasted through a test VHF station (TVS). A test user platform (TUP) will receive GPS signal and the SBAS messages broadcast from TVS and then calculate and archive the TUP’s positions. This paper discusses performance analysis and flight test results conducted in Thailand in September 2007. During flight trials, noting that the Test Bed broadcasts SBAS messages through a VHF data link (VDL) similar to that of GBAS, the impacts of VHF broadcast, such as transmitting power, terrain effects, and impacts of different aircraft attitudes and positions are analysed. Preliminary analysis result indicates that, while the GBAS VDL coverage is very good through out the 30nm airport terminal area, during approach, and even during taxi, considerations should be given to levels of transmitting power to eliminate possible intermittent loss of VHF messages received by the aircraft receiver. This intermittent loss of VHF messages results in very strong fluctuation of horizontal protection levels (HPL) and vertical protection levels (VPL) calculated by the TUP. To yield with possible problem, windowing techniques are proposed and analysed.

This paper presents the results of a study on the use of different tropospheric correction models in SBAS positioning for air navigation. The paper, in particular, determines the influence of the Saastamoinen troposphere and RTCA-MOPS models on the determination of aircraft coordinates and mean coordinate errors in the SBAS positioning method. The study uses real kinematic data from a GPS navigation system recorded by an onboard GNSS satellite receiver as well as SBAS corrections. In the experiment, the authors include SBAS corrections from EGNOS and SDCM augmentation systems. The navigation calculations were performed using RTKLIB v.2.4.3 and Scilab 6.1.1 software. Based on the conducted research, it was found that the difference in aircraft coordinates using different troposphere models can reach up to ±2.14 m. Furthermore, the use of the RTCA-MOPS troposphere model improved the values of mean coordinate errors from 5 to 9% for the GPS+EGNOS solution and from 7 to 12% for the GPS+SDCM solution, respectively. The obtained computational findings confirm the validity of using the RTCA-MOPS troposphere model for SBAS positioning in aerial navigation.

This contribution extends the common documented approach of integrity through Protection Levels in Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) positioning for aeronautics, to reliability on the basis of statistical hypothesis testing, and as such provides a safeguard against model misspecifications as anomalies and outliers in the measurements. It is shown that when integrity is monitored through Protection Levels and reliability added through Reliability Levels, the availability of the SBAS position solution is more than 99% for APV-I precision approach. The availability for CAT-I is currently just a few percent. When the Galileo constellation is added, and current performance is copied ahead, the percentage for CAT-I increases to beyond 95%.

In this paper, we have evaluated the performance and availability enhancement of Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) in urban environments. In urban environments, QZSS can be expected to be fairly effective because of the high elevation angle of satellite and enhancement functions. Therefore, we conducted performance and availability enhancement evaluation tests to verify thus. In performance enhancement evaluation test, in order to evaluate the improvement of GPS accuracy by L1 Submeter-class Augmentation with Integrity Function (L1-SAIF) broadcasted by QZSS satellite, we compared the positioning errors of only GPS positioning and L1-SAIF positioning in open sky environment. In availability enhancement evaluation test, we performed the static and kinematic observation test. In static observation test, in order to evaluate the improvement of GPS accuracy by availability enhancement, we observed GPS and QZSS statically in narrow-sky environment. And we compared the positioning errors of only GPS positioning and positioning using availability enhancement. In kinematic observation test, in order to evaluate the availability of QZSS based on the visibility of QZSS satellite in urban environment, we observed QZSS and SBAS from moving vehicle. And we compared the visibility of QZSS and SBAS satellites. From these evaluation tests, it was confirmed that the performance and availability enhancement of QZSS have high availability and effectiveness.

Abstract Due to lack of advanced navigation systems, secondary airports are normally unable to support instrument approaches in low visibility conditions (LVC) more adverse than Category (CAT) I, making them inaccessible during such conditions. Incoming flights are then delayed, diverted to adjacent airports, or cancelled before take-off. This paper presents an onboard navigation solution, under development in scope of SESAR 2020 Solution PJ02-W2- 17.2, which focuses on technology development to mitigate these traffic disruptions by enabling instrument approaches in CAT II LVC with minimum airport and air navigation service provider investments. The concept builds upon global navigation satellite systems (Global Positioning System L1 frequency – GPS L1, satellite-based augmentation system), which currently enables Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance (LPV) operation down to LPV 200 minima. The designed system includes radio altimeter-based aiding and innovative integrity algorithm to improve navigation performance in support of operations below 200ft down to CAT II / LPV 100 minima. As no such requirements have yet been officially published, authors also defined sets of candidates based on Instrument Landing System Collision Risk Model and other sources. The team developed and verified a Monte-Carlo fast-time simulation toolset to enable representative and statistically significant evaluation of the concept feasibility via its availability throughout Europe, as well as sensitivity to proposed sets of alert limits. Also, flight data collection and a developed software prototype allow for further validations. Simulations demonstrated over 95% average availability with the best results achieving level of 99% depending on used set of requirements. The solution enabling operations in LVC allows unlocking various benefits to business/airline operators (e.g., avoided extra costs, increased predictability), passengers (avoided opportunity loss) and airports (retained profit from flights, less traffic at diversion airports). Technology development also marks an important step towards gate-to-gate autonomous operations.

Owing to the high demand for drone operation in high-elevation masked areas, it is necessary to develop a more effective method of transmitting and applying Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) messages for drones. This study proposes an onboard module including correction conversion, integrity information calculation, and fast initialization requests, which can enable the application of an online SBAS to drone operation. The proposed system not only improves the position accuracy with timely and proper protection levels in an open sky, but also reduces the initialization time from 70–100 s to 1 s, enabling a drone of short endurance to perform its mission successfully. In SBAS signal-denied cases, the position accuracy was improved by 40% and the uncorrected 13.4 m vertical error was reduced to 5.6 m by applying an SBAS message delivered online. The protection levels calculated with the accurate position regardless of the current location could denote the thrust level and availability of the navigation solution. The proposed system can practically solve the drawbacks of the current SBAS, considering the characteristics of the low-cost receivers on the market. Our proposed system is expected to be a useful and practical solution to integrate drones into the airspace in the near future.

Several countries are involved in developing satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS) for improving the positional accuracy of GPS. India is also developing one such system, popularly known as GPS-aided geo-augmented navigation (GAGAN), to cater to civil aviation applications. The ionospheric effect is the major source of error in GAGAN. An appropriate efficient and accurate ionospheric time model for GAGAN is necessary. To develop such a model, data from 17 GPS stations of the GAGAN network spread across India are used in modelling. The prominent model, known as bi-linear interpolation technique, is investigated for user IPP (UIPP) delay estimation. User IPP delays for quiet, moderate and disturbed days are estimated. It is evident that measured mean UIPP delays closely follow estimated mean UIPP delays.

The primary means for electronic position fixing in use in contemporary maritime transport are shipborne GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers or DGPS (Differential GPS) receivers. More advanced GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) or RNSS (Regional Navigation Satellite Systems) receivers are able to process combined signals from American GPS, Russian GLONASS, Chinese Beidou (BDS), European Galileo, Indian IRNSS, and Japan QZSS. Satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS) are still not commonly used in the maritime domain, especially onboard vessels certified under international SOLAS convention. The issues and weaknesses of existing International Maritime Organization recommendations, guidelines, requirements, performance standards, and policies on GNSS shipborne sensors are discussed and presented in the paper. Many problems that have already been dealt with in other means of transportation are still to be solved in the maritime domain. The integrity monitoring is addressed as the main issue, and recommendations based on solutions implemented in aviation and the latest research are proposed. Finally, the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats awaiting maritime GNSS standardization process are outlined.

Satellite Based Augmentation Systems are being developed in Europe (EGNOS), the USA (WAAS), and in Japan (MSAS). As part of their support to EGNOS, NATS and Racal have developed and deployed a prototype SBAS system called the Northern European Satellite Test Bed (NEST Bed). NEST Bed uses GPS L1/L2 reference stations at: Aberdeen, Rotterdam, Ankara, Cadiz, Keflavik, and Bronnoysund. Data is sent to the Master Control Centre at NATS Gatwick Services Management Centre for processing. The resulting 250 bits-per-second message is sent to Goonhilly for up-linking by BT to the Navigation Payload of either the Inmarsat AOR-E or F5 spare satellite. NEST Bed was deployed and commissioned during summer 1998, and flight tests were successfully demonstrated at the September 1998 Farnborough Air Show where approaches were flown to Boscombe Down on the DERA BAC1-11 aircraft. In October 1998, a NATS/FAA flight trial was held in Iceland involving NEST Bed and the FAA NSTB. NEST Bed is also being used for SARPS validation.

A handheld GPS (Global Positioning System) is a device that uses to conduct a survey with less manpower and less time. Mostly total station is used in land use survey with higher accuracy. Hence this study is going to verify the capability of the handheld GPS to replace instead of the Total Station in land use survey. The aim of the study was to evaluate the land use survey results with handheld GPS and total station. GPS (Leica GS 15) instrument was fixed at a Base station named NSG 01 and data collection was done using handheld GPS (Leica Zeno 20) instrument with different modes such as Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) off and SBAS on. Further the collected data were processed with the Differential GPS (DGPS) and without DGPS approaches using Leica infinity and QGIS software and four plans were prepared. Then the area was calculated for each land use category. Results were compared using the error percentages each land use. Further it was compared using correlation analysis. Finally, the most accurate results were given by the handheld GPS in SBAS on mode. Its error level was 0.46% and it is very low compare with other modes. SBAS on mode Correlation Coefficient was 0.99995 and it was the closest value to 1. So, the SBAS on mode is the best method to improve the accuracy of land use surveys where there is scarcity of manpower and time instead of total station.

Real Time Precise-Point Positioning (RT-PPP) is a relatively new method for satellite-based positioning or better known as the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). RT-PPP has similarities with PPP in terms of data accuracy and precision because it was developed from the previous method called Precise Point Positioning (PPP). However, RT-PPP has an advantage in real time because it gets correction from the L-band in the Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS). This study aims to evaluate the RT-PPP method for mining surveys. The precision evaluation was carried out repeatedly for 7 days at specific points, while accuracy testing was compared with the static differential method at 11 points spread over the mining area. The results showed that the standard deviation of the RT-PPP method was 1.0 cm and 1.1 cm in the east and north, 3 cm in elevation. The accuracy test shows 17.5 cm for the RMSE horizontally and 6.2 cm vertically.

To satisfy the demands of civil aviation organizations and other users of satellite navigation systems for high-precision and high-integrity service performance, many countries and regions have established satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS) referring to the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA) service standards and agreements. The BeiDou SBAS (BDSBAS) provides both single-frequency service, which augments Global Positioning System (GPS) L1 C/A signal, and dual-frequency multi-constellation (DFMC) service, which augments BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) B1C and B2a dual frequency signals presently, meeting the requirements of the RTCA DO-229D protocol and the SBAS L5 DFMC protocol requirements, respectively. As one of the main error sources, the pseudorange bias errors of BDSBAS monitoring receivers were estimated and their effect on the performance of the BDSBAS service was analyzed. Based on the user algorithms of SBAS differential corrections and integrity information, the service accuracy, integrity, and availability of the BDSBAS were evaluated using real observation data. The results show that the maximum of monitoring receiver pseudorange bias errors between L1P and L1P/L2P can reach 1.57 m, which become the most important errors affecting the performance of the BDSBAS service. In addition, the results show that the pseudorange bias of GPS BlockIII is the smallest, while that of GPS BlockIIR is the largest. Compared with the positioning accuracy of the open service of the core constellation, the positioning accuracy of the BDSBAS service can be improved by approximately 47% and 36% for the RTCA service and DFMC service, respectively. For RTCA services, the protection limit (PL) calculated with the integrity information can 100% envelop the positioning error (PE) and no integrity risk event is detected. The service availability of BDSBAS for APV-I approach is approximately 98.8%, which is mainly affected by the availability of ionospheric grid corrections in the service marginal area. For DFMC service, the integrity risk is not detected either. The service availability for CAT-I approach is 100%. Improving the availability of ionospheric grid corrections is one of the important factors to improve service performance of BDSBAS RTCA service.

Satellite navigation has become a very important topic in the air transport industry along with its application in instrument approach procedures. Recently, extracted statistical characteristics of the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) satellite signal have been made available from real measurements in the Czech Republic. The numerical modeling approach is taken for a feasibility study of automatic aircraft control during the Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) precision approach based on such navigation data. The model incorporates Kalman filtering of the stochastic navigation signal, feed-back control of L-410 aircraft dynamics and the calculation of approach progress along the predefined procedure. Evaluation of the performance of the system prototype is performed using the scenarios developed with a strong interest in altitude control. The specific scenario is focused on a curved approach which offers a huge advantage of the approaches based on the Satellite-based Augmentation System (SBAS) compared to ones with the Instrument Landing System (ILS). Outputs of simulation executions are statistically analyzed and assessed against predefined navigation performance goals equivalent to ILS categories with a positive outcome.

To guarantee the integrity of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) for safety-critical users, a satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) makes use of the integrity monitoring architecture, of which the signal quality monitor (SQM) is an important component to address the potential risks caused by satellite-induced signal anomalies. Due to the introduction of dual-frequency multi-constellation (DFMC) techniques in 2025, the ranging uncertainty will be reduced by the elimination of first-order ionospheric delay, but the biases measured in each individual signal will be inflated by the ionosphere-free combinations. Moreover, multiple modulations of DFMC signals might introduce applicability uncertainty of a traditional SQM method that has been protecting GPS L1C/A signal only. Thus, higher requirements are put forward for future SQM methods in detection sensitivity and modulation independence. This paper first proposes a design methodology for the SQM algorithm for BDS B1C/B2a signals, which could be easily extended to the DF combinations of other GNSS core constellations. Then, by comparing the performances of SQM baseline algorithms based on traditional multi-correlator and emerging chip domain observables (CDOs), respectively, the superiority of CDO-based SQM is declared. Detailed design iterations are further discussed, including the algorithm practicalization with optimizing code-phase bin length and lowering sampling frequency, as well as the metric simplification, to promote the overall performance while preserving a lower implementation complexity. Ultimately, a CDO-based SQM algorithm for BDS B1C/B2a signals is reached, which would be considered as an effective candidate in new generation DFMC SBASs.

Nowadays one can use four global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). Two of them are complete constellations (GPS, Glonass) and two (Beidou, Galileo) are already usable and will be finish in the near future. Additionally satellite based augmentation systems (SBAS) like WAAS, EGNOS, GAGAN or QZSS complement the GNSS service. However, within all systems one can observe changes, modifications, and updates every year. This can be related to satellite renewables leading to signal property changes. Especially, for safety critical applications using GNSS, like advanced receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (ARAIM) or ground-based augmentation systems (GBAS) the new or changed signal properties are of high interest. With the help of detailed information about the signal deformation and the received signal power it is possible to calculate realistic error bounds and consequently realistic protection level for these kinds of safety critical applications. This paper presents an overview of the findings according new signals or signal configurations of GPS, Beidou and QZSS of the last two years. After a brief introduction of the measurement facility the paper will introduce basic analysis about the quality of the signal shape in spectral and modulation domain. Using our precise calibrated measurement facility, we will also present an analysis of the transmitted satellite signal power including estimates about the power sharing among individual signal components within each band. Considering the measured power in relation to the boresight angle of the satellite one can derive a cut through the antenna pattern of the satellite and can assess the antenna symmetry properties. Examples for different satellites will be presented. Finally, we will end with a conclusion regarding the considered signal developments and its impact on GNSS users.

This work reviews an ionospheric activity indicator useful for identifying disturbed periods affecting the performance of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). This index is based in the Along Arc TEC Rate (AATR) and can be easily computed from dual-frequency GNSS measurements. The AATR indicator has been assessed over more than one Solar Cycle (2002–2017) involving about 140 receivers distributed world-wide. Results show that it is well correlated with the ionospheric activity and, unlike other global indicators linked to the geomagnetic activity (i.e. DST or Ap), it is sensitive to the regional behaviour of the ionosphere and identifies specific effects on GNSS users. Moreover, from a devoted analysis of different Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) performances in different ionospheric conditions, it follows that the AATR indicator is a very suitable mean to reveal whether SBAS service availability anomalies are linked to the ionosphere. On this account, the AATR indicator has been selected as the metric to characterise the ionosphere operational conditions in the frame of the European Space Agency activities on the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS). The AATR index has been adopted as a standard tool by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for joint ionospheric studies in SBAS. In this work we explain how the AATR is computed, paying special attention to the cycle-slip detection, which is one of the key issues in the AATR computation, not fully addressed in other indicators such as the Rate Of change of the TEC Index (ROTI). After this explanation we present some of the main conclusions about the ionospheric activity that can extracted from the AATR values during the above mentioned long-term study. These conclusions are: (a) the different spatial correlation related with the MOdified DIP (MODIP) which allows to clearly separate high, mid and low latitude regions, (b) the large spatial correlation in mid latitude regions which allows to define a planetary index, similar to the geomagnetic ones, (c) the seasonal dependency which is related with the longitude and (d) the variation of the AATR value at different time scales (hourly, daily, seasonal, among others) which confirms most of the well-known time dependences of the ionospheric events, and finally, (e) the relationship with the space weather events.

Differential Global Positioning Systems (DGPS) and the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) are included in a group of supporting systems (Ground-Based Augmentation System (GBAS)/Space-Based Augmentation System (SBAS)) for the American GPS. Their main task is to ensure better positioning characteristics (accuracy, reliability, continuity and availability) compared to GPS. Therefore, they are widely applied wherever GPS failures affect human safety, mainly in aviation, land and marine navigation. The aim of this paper is to assess the predictable positioning accuracy of DGPS and EGNOS receivers using a vessel manoeuvring in the Bay of Gdansk. Two receivers were used in the study: a Simrad MXB5 (DGPS) and a Trimble GA530 (EGNOS), which were simultaneously recording their coordinates. The obtained values were compared with the trajectory computed using a geodetic Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver (Trimble R10) connected to a GNSS network, ensuring an accuracy of 2–3 cm (p = 0·95). During a four-hour measurement session, the accuracy statistics of these systems were determined based on around 11,500 positionings. Studies have shown that both positioning systems ensure a similar level of accuracy of their positioning services (approximately 0·5–2 m) and they meet the accuracy requirements set in published standards.

Abstract. The ESA MONITOR network is composed of high-frequency-sampling global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) receivers deployed mainly at low and high latitudes to study ionosphere variability and jointly with global GNSS data and ionospheric processing software in support of the GNSS and its satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS) like the European EGNOS. In a recent phase of the project, the network was merged with the CNES/ASECNA network and new receivers were added to complement the latter in the western African sector. This paper summarizes MONITOR, presenting two case studies on scintillations (using almost 2 years of data measurements). The first case occurred during the major St. Patrick's Day geomagnetic storm in 2015. The second case study was performed in the last phase of the project, which was supported by ESA EGNOS Project Office, when we paid special attention to extreme events that might degrade the system performance of the European EGNOS.

Full textAbstract:
Accuracy, integrity, continuity and availability are the basic quality parameters extremely important in satellite navigation. The article presents results of research using the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) that belongs to the group of Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS). The measurement data adopted for analysis were recorded in years: 2012, 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018 in the north-eastern Poland. Results of the analysis showed a significant reduction in the maximum GPS / EGNOS positioning error values from 2014 onwards (compared to results from 2012). In general, values of parameters characterizing accuracy, integrity and availability meet the requirements for EGNOS applications in APV-1 and LPV-200 aviation procedures. It the case of continuity the requirements are not met.

Full textAbstract:
The primary means for electronic position fixing currently in use in majority of contemporary merchant ships are shipborne GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers or DGPS (Differential GPS) and IALA (International Association of Lighthouse Authorities) radio beacon receivers. More advanced GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receivers able to process signals from GPS, Russian GLONASS, Chinese Beidou, European Galileo, Indian IRNSS, Japan QZSS, and satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS), are still relatively rare in maritime domain. However, it is expected that such combined or multi-system receivers will soon become more common in maritime transport and integrated with gyro, inertial, radar, laser, and optical sensors, and they will become indispensable onboard maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS). To be prepared for a malfunction of any position sensors, their state-of-the-art integrity monitoring should be developed and standardized, taking into account the specificity of MASS and e-navigation safety. The issues of existing requirements, performance standards, and future concepts of integrity monitoring for maritime position sensors are discussed and presented in this paper.

Full textAbstract:
The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) system is being developed in Europe to provide Global Positioning System (GPS) and GLONASS regional augmentation services to aviation, maritime and land users. The EGNOS system, as any other Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), relies on the broadcast of differential correction and integrity information in the pseudo-range domain, which are then used to provide a solution in the position domain. EGNOS is a major element of the European Satellite Navigation Program, which is jointly being implemented by the Commission of the European Union, the European Space Agency (ESA) and Eurocontrol (the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation). It is also the first European step to the GALILEO system.As part of the EGNOS validation activities, flight trials have been organised by ESA and the EGNOS Industrial Consortium at various locations in Europe during Spring 2005. To demonstrate the system capability in a challenging mountainous environment, tests have been conducted at Lugano airport in the Swiss Alps. Due to the difficult topography of the airport and its surroundings, the use of conventional ground based navigation aids present some limitations. For the trials, a new Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) procedure has been designed to take advantage of the system flexibility. In particular, a reduction of the approach glide path angle has been achieved, potentially allowing more aircraft types to fly the approach than today. This article presents the operational benefits that could be obtained with the new test procedure. The very impressive EGNOS performance is also described in details, showing that it can support Approach Procedure with Vertical guidance (APV) operations even in a very challenging environment.

Full textAbstract:
The next generation of satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS) will support aviation receivers that take advantage of the ionosphere-free dual-frequency combination. By combining signals of the L1 and L5 bands, about 99% of the ionospheric refraction effects on the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) signals can be removed in the user receivers without additional SBAS corrections. Nevertheless, even if most of the negative impacts on GNSS signals are removed by the ionospheric-free combination, some residuals remain and have to be taken into account by overbounding models in the integrity computation conducted by safety-of-live (SoL) receivers in airplanes. Such models have to overbound residuals as well, which result from the most rare extreme ionospheric events, e.g., such as the famous “Halloween Storm”, and should thus include the tails of the error distribution. Their application shall lead to safe error bounds on the user position and allow the computation of protection levels for the horizontal and vertical position errors. Here, we propose and justify such an overbounding model for residual ionospheric delays that remain after the application of the ionospheric-free linear combination. The model takes into account second- and third-order ionospheric refraction effects, excess path due to ray bending, and increased ionospheric total electron content (TEC) along the signal path due to ray bending.

Full textAbstract:
High-precision positioning with low-cost global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) in urban environments remains a significant challenge due to the significant multipath effects, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) errors, as well as poor satellite visibility and geometry. A GNSS system is typically implemented with a least-square (LS) or a Kalman-filter (KF) estimator, and a proper weight scheme is vital for achieving reliable navigation solutions. The traditional weight schemes are based on the signal-in-space ranging errors (SISRE), elevation and C/N0 values, which would be less effective in urban environments since the observation quality cannot be fully manifested by those values. In this paper, we propose a new multi-feature support vector machine (SVM) signal classifier-based weight scheme for GNSS measurements to improve the kinematic GNSS positioning accuracy in urban environments. The proposed new weight scheme is based on the identification of important features in GNSS data in urban environments and intelligent classification of line-of-sight (LOS) and NLOS signals. To validate the performance of the newly proposed weight scheme, we have implemented it into a real-time single-frequency precise point positioning (SFPPP) system. The dynamic vehicle-based tests with a low-cost single-frequency u-blox M8T GNSS receiver demonstrate that the positioning accuracy using the new weight scheme outperforms the traditional C/N0 based weight model by 65.4% and 85.0% in the horizontal and up direction, and most position error spikes at overcrossing and short tunnels can be eliminated by the new weight scheme compared to the traditional method. It also surpasses the built-in satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS) solutions of the u-blox M8T and is even better than the built-in real-time-kinematic (RTK) solutions of multi-frequency receivers like the u-blox F9P and Trimble BD982.
