The ICAO and FAA are developing and verifying of GBAS for civil aircraft landing and take-off. The guarantee of aircraft integrity issue is the important part of GBAS. To guarantee integrity, the GBAS ground facility broadcasts various informations to aircraft. The informations are related to the estimated accuracy of each pseudorange correction and the estimated error terms, for example B-value and standard deviation of the ground facility error. These parameters are used to calculate position error (estimated value of the user). If estimated position errors don't satisfy requirements, aircraft use alternate navigation means. In this paper, GBAS reference stations's real data, which operated by KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) in Jeju international airport, are used to development of new ground facility error standard deviation model. We verify improvement of GBAS availability, with respected to vertical protection level, using B-value based a new ground facility error standard deviation model and a sigma inflation factor.

The main function in operating the satellite navigation system is to accurately determine the orbit of the navigation satellite and transmit it as a navigation message. In this study, we developed software to determine the orbit of a navigation satellite by combining an extended Kalman filter and an accurate dynamic model. Global positioning system (GPS) and quasi-zenith satellite system (QZSS) orbit determination was performed using international gnss system (IGS) ground station observations and user range error (URE), a key performance indicator of the navigation system, was calculated by comparison with IGS precise ephemeris. When estimating the clock error mounted on the navigation satellite, the radial orbital error and the clock error have a high inverse correlation, which cancel each other out, and the standard deviations of the URE of GPS and QZSS are small namely 1.99 m and 3.47 m, respectively. Instead of estimating the clock error of the navigation satellite, the orbit was determined by replacing the clock error of the navigation message with a modeled value, and the regional correlation with URE and the effect of the ground station arrangement were analyzed.
