In this paper, we propose a pre-processing scheme for improving indoor positioning accuracy in impulsive noise channel environments. The impulsive noise can be generated by multi-path fading effects by complicated indoor structures or interference environments, which causes an increase in demodulation error probability. The proposed pre-processing scheme is performed before a triangulation method to calculate user's position, and providing reliable input data demodulated from a received signal to the triangulation method. Therefore, we studied and proposed an adaptive threshold function for mitigation of the impulsive noise based on wavelet denoising. Through results of computer simulations for the proposed scheme, we confirmed that Bit Error Rate and Signal-to-Noise Ratio performance is improved compared to conventional schemes.

At present, available positioning satellites are not only the GPS, but also GLONASS, GALILEO, QZSS, BeiDou. However, the differential GPS, the augmentation service for increase the positioning accuracy, is follow the RTCM version 2.3 standard. So, it can service the correction information about only GPS. For solve this problem, RTCM is making the new version of RTCM message standard that can service the correction information for all of available GNSS. In South Korea, the software DGNSS RSIM system was installed at almost the whole DGNSS reference station. In this reason, that can cope with the new RTCM version 2.4 quickly. However, the DGNSS Reference Station based RSIM 1.3 can not make the GNSS's PRC simultaneously and can not support RTCM version 2.4. Thus, in this paper, the version of RTCM 2.4 is analyzed and the RTCM version 2.4 message generating module's architecture for software DGNSS reference station is designed.

Although GPS has proven to be efficient in the fields of navigation and surveying, it has many problems of positioning in downtown areas. Therefore, if GPS is combined with GLONASS which is similar to GPS in its positioning and signal system, it is expected that accuracy will be improved. However, we should address certain problems that exist related to the coordinate, time, and signal system between the two. The purpose of this study is to develop a GPS/GLONASS combination program by considering the properties of GPS and GLONASS and to solve the problems related to differences in the coordinates system and signal system. It is also to present the efficiency of the program in navigation and geographic information through analyzing 3D positioning accuracy by GPS/GLONASS combination with an application experiment. As a result of this study, the accuracy of the DGPS/DGLONASS positioning program corresponded to that of commercial program, and that's accuracy was better than that of DGPS. Especially, the acquisition of navigation and geographic information was possible by DGPS/DGLONASS combination in downtown area where the continuous 3D positioning is impossible by DGPS only.

Even in the marine industry was required the looser positioning performance as compared to other application domain, a high-quality positioning performance and reliability are becoming ever more important. The high-quality performance includes not only accuracy but also integrity, continuity, and availability. However, current DGPS service is not satisfying the minimum positioning performance requirements for maritime user proposed by IMO. Especially, no one can guarantee the required integrity performance by DGPS service. This paper presents the advanced monitoring concept to strengthen the performance of current DGPS through the enhanced monitoring, guarantee and notice functions. To this, the limitations of the integrity monitoring function of current DGPS are analyzed, and a countermeasure is prepared to improve the limitations of the current integrity monitoring function. This paper can be applied as basis research to improvement of the DGPS service.

The carrier phase measurements from GPS and GLONASS have different characteristics and therefore, have to be processed with different methods to provide precise positions or attitudes. In this contribution, at first, a measurement model is derived which can be used to not only GLONASS only applications but also both GPS and GLONASS applications. And then an error analysis of the proposed method performed using the derived model to derive analytic relationships between GDOP, PDOP and RGDOP. Finally, an integer ambiguity resolution method which was used in GPS is expanded to GPS and GLONASS. The proposed results can be directly applied to the design and analysis of GLONASS receiver and application programs. Furthermore, it is expected that the suggested method can also be effectively applied to combine the characteristically different measurements from the future satellite navigation systems such as GPS modernization, Galileo and QZSS.

A positioning technique using the augmentation system has been researched to improve the accuracy. The network RTK is the precise positioning technique using carrier phase correction data from reference stations and is constantly being researched. The study for the system accuracy has been performed but system integrity research has not been done as much as system accuracy. In this paper, we presented the anomaly detection algorithm by satellite system and the diagnosis algorithm to a basic research in the integrity on network RTK. And the presented algorithms are verified on the DL-V3 dual-frequency receiver and the simulated error scenario using the GSS7700.

This paper suggests a new algorithm to provide low-cost GPS modules with DGPS service, which corrects the error vector in the already-calculated position by projecting range corrections to position domain using the observation matrix calculated from the satellite elevation and azimuth angle in the NMEA GPGSV data. The algorithm reduced the horizontal and vertical RMS error of U-blox LEA-5H module from 1.8m/5.8m to 1.0m/1.4m during the daytime. The algorithm has advantage in improving the performance of low-cost module to that of DGPS receiver by a software update without any correction in hardware, therefore it is expected to contribute to the vitalization of the future high-precision position service infrastructure by reducing the costumer cost and vender risk.

정밀한 위치결정에 사용되는 GPS는 초기 군사목적을 벗어나 자동차, 선박, 비행기 등의 항법은 물론 측량분야, 지각 및 구조물의 변위 감시, 우주, 통신, 국방 분야 등 매우 광범위한 분야에서 활용되고 있으며, 그 이용도가 급속히 증가하는 추세이다. 그러나 GPS 관측값은 부정오차와 정오차 등 많은 오차를 포함하고 있기 때문에 이를 소거하거나 최소화하여야 한다. GPS 오차는 크게 위성궤도나 위성시간 오차등 위성에 관련된 오차, 수신기 잡음이나 다중경로 등 수신기 관련 오차, 그리고 대류권이나 전리층에 의한 전파 오차로 구분할 수 있다. 이들 오차들은 대부분 차분방법과 수학적 알고리즘에 의해 소거되거나 최소화되지만, 다중경로와 수신기 잡음은 소거하거나 축소할 수 없다. 다중경로는 관측당시의 수신기 주변환경에 따라 바뀌기 때문에 수학적으로 소거할 수 없으며, 수신기 잡음은 수신기 내부의 노이즈로 인하여 발생하기 때문에 소거하기가 상당히 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 다중경로에 의한 GPS 기선변화를 알아보기 위해서 여러 조건하에서 정적 GPS 측량을 실시하였다. 먼저 정확한 좌표를 알고 있는 한 점에 GPS를 설치하고 다른 두 대의 GPS을 임의 점에 설치하였고, 이들 두 GPS 중에 하나의 수신기에 다중경로 환경을 설정하였다 정적 GPS 관측시 기선에 어떠한 변화가 오는 파악하기 위해서 기선처리와 망조정을 통해 기선길이와 좌표값을 산출하였다. 이러한 다중경로 실험은 구조물 모니터링 등 mm 정확도를 요구하는 GPS 측량에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper, we propose a GNSS-based RF receiver, A high precision localization architecture, and a high sensitivity localization architecture in order to solve the satellite navigation system's problem mentioned above. The GNSS-based RF receiver model should have the structure to simultaneously receive both the conventional GPS and navigation information data of future-usable Galileo. As a result, it is constructed as the multi-band which can receive at the same time Ll band (1575.42MHz) of GPS and El band (1575.42MHz), E5A band (1207.1MHz), and E4B band (1176.45MHz) of Galileo This high precision localization architecture proposes a delay lock loop with the structure of Early_early code, Early_late code, Prompt code, Late_early code, and Late_late code other than Early code, Prompt code, and Late code which a previous delay lock loop structure has. As we suggest the delay lock loop structure of 1/4chips spacing, we successfully deal with the synchronization problem with the C/A code derived from inaccuracy of the signal received from the satellite navigation system. The synchronization problem with the C/A code causes an acquisition delay time problem of the vehicle navigation system and leads to performance reduction of the receiver. In addition, as this high sensitivity localization architecture is designed as an asymmetry structure using 20 correlators, maximizes reception amplification factor, and minimizes noise, it improves a reception rate. Satellite navigation system repeatedly transmits the same C/A code 20 times. Consequently, we propose a structure which can use all of the same C/A code. Since this has an adaptive structure and can limit(offer) the number of the correlator according to the nearby environment, it can reduce unnecessary delay time of the system. With the use of this structure, we can lower the acquisition delay time and guarantee the continuity of tracking.
