This paper presents a novel Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network architecture for the integration of an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). The proposed algorithm consists of two independent LSTM networks and the LSTM networks are trained to predict attitudes and velocities from the sequence of IMU measurements and mechanization solutions. In this paper, three GNSS receivers are used to provide Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GNSS attitude and position information of a vehicle, and the information is used as a target output while training the network. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated with both experimental and simulation data using a lowcost IMU and three RTK-GNSS receivers. The test results showed that the proposed LSTM network could improve positioning accuracy by more than 90% compared to the position solutions obtained using a conventional Kalman filter based IMU/GNSS integration for more than 30 seconds of GNSS outages.

저가형 GNSS (global navigation satellite system) 수신 모듈에 DGNSS (differential GNSS) 서비스를 적용하기 위한 방안으로 거리 영역의 보정정보를 위치 영역으로 투영한 후, stand-alone으로 산출한 위치에 적용하는 DGNSS-CP 방식이 제안된 바 있다. DGNSS-CP 를 상용 수신기 또는 휴대폰에 적용하기 위해서는 항법 방정식의 관측행렬을 이용하여 위치영역 투영 방정식을 구성하므로, 각 위성의 시선벡터를 산출하여야 한다. GNSS 항법 메시지, 배치 정보 등이 시선벡터 산출을 위하여 사용되는데, 각 방법에 따라 정확도와 연산량 등의 성능에 차이가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 제시된 두 가지 시선벡터 산출 방식에 따라 DGNSS-CP의 성능에 어떠한 영향을 끼치는지 확인하기 위하여, Septentrio PolaRx4 Pro 수신기에서 stand-alone mode 로 저장된 데이터에 해당 알고리즘을 적용하였고, 배치 정보를 사용하는 방법이 궤도정보를 사용하는 방법에 비해 정확도 면에서는 그 성능이 RMS (root mean square) 0.1 m 가량 저하되는 반면, 연산량은 약 1/15수준으로 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The ionosphere acts as the largest error source in the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal transmission. Ionospheric total electron content (TEC) is also easily affected by changes in the space environment, such as solar activity and geomagnetic storms. In this study, we analyze changes in the regional ionosphere using the Qusai-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS), a regional satellite navigation system. Observations from 9 GNSS stations in South Korea are used for estimating the QZSS TEC. In addition, the performance of QZSS TEC is analyzed with observations from day of year (DOY) 199 to 206, 2023. To verify the performance of our results, we compare the estimated QZSS TEC and CODE Global Ionosphere Map (GIM) at the same location. Our results are in good agreement with the GIM product provided by the CODE over this period, with an averaged difference of approximately 0.1 TECU and a root mean square (RMS) value of 2.89 TECU.

오늘날 민간에서 사용 중인 측위 시스템의 대부분은 위성의 신호를 수신하여 현재 위치를 계산하는 글로벌 위성항법 시스템(GNSS; Global Navigation Satellite System)을 기반으로 한다. 미국이 GPS (Global Positioning System)를 통하여 입증한 GNSS의 효용성은 다양한 국가에서 위성항법 시스템을 구축하고 고도화 하도록 이끌었다. 그중 중국은 앞선 IT 기술력과 자금력을 바탕으로 자체 GNSS인 베이더우 위성항법 시스템(BDS; BeiDou Navigation Satellite System)의 급진적인 개발을 성공시켰다. 중국이 빠르게 전 세계로 BDS의 서비스 영역을 확대하고 있는 것을 고려할 때 우리나라에서도 BDS에 대한 체계적인 연구가 요구된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 BDS의 공개 신호인 B1C에 대한 전반적인 정보를 제공하여 B1C 신호 체계 설계 및 BDS B1C 수신기 설계에 활용될 수 있도록 한다.

한국은 성능기반항행 (PBN; performance-based navigation)으로 전환하기 위한 단계적 PBN 이행계획을 2010년에 수립하고 로드맵에 따른 새로운 비행절차를 개발 중에 있다. PBN 비행절차에는 GNSS (global navigation satellite systems), DME (distance measuring equipment), VOR (VHF omnidirectional range), INS (inertial navigation system) 등의 항행시설 (NAVAID; navigation aid)이 활용되는 것으로 되어있다. 그 중에서 GNSS를 이용한 PBN 업무제공이 중심을 이루고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 위성항법신호의 인위적, 자연적 간섭에 의한 취약성이 발견됨에 따라 세계 각국은 다양한 대안항법(APNT; alternative positioning, navigation and timing) 기술을 연구하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 GNSS 신호가 가용하지 않을 경우 기존의 항행시스템으로 지속적인 PBN 운항이 가능한지를 분석하였으며, 결과적으로 국내 일부 공항은 접근 단계 구역에서 대안항법의 구축이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

The public open signals from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) including Global positioning system (GPS) are used widely by many peoples in the world except for the public regulated restriction signals which are encrypted. Nowadays there are growing concerns about GNSS signal spoofing which can deceive the GNSS receivers by abusing these open services. To counter these spoofing threats, many researches have been studied including array antenna techniques which can detect the direction of arrival by means of Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm. Originally the array antenna techniques were developed to countermeasure the jamming signal in electronic warfare by using the nulling or beamforming algorithm toward a certain direction. In this paper, we study the anti-spoofing techniques using array antenna to overcome the jamming and spoofing issues simultaneously. First, we will present the theoretical analysis results of spoofing signal response of Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) algorithm in array antenna. Then the eigenvector algorithm of covariance matrix is suggested and verified to work with the existing anti-jamming method. The modeling and simulation are used to verify the effectiveness of the anti-spoofing algorithm. Also, the field test results show that the array antenna system with the proposed algorithms can perform the anti-spoofing function. This anti-spoofing method using array antenna is very effective in the view point of solving both the jamming and spoofing problems using the same array antenna hardware.

The position accuracy of the stand-alone Regional Navigation Satellite System (RNSS) users is more than tens of meters because of various error sources in satellite navigation signals. This paper focuses on wide-area differential (WAD) positioning technique, which is already applied in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), in order to improve the position accuracy of RNSS users. According to the simulation results in the very narrow ground network in regional area, the horizontal position error of stand-alone RNSS is about RMS 11.6 m, and that of RNSS with WAD technique, named the WAD-RNSS, is about RMS 2.5 m. The accuracy performance has improved by about 78%.

Recently, China officially declared to operate its satellite positioning system, Beidou so called Compass. The system is currently having 10 orbiting satellites which regionally cover from Australia to Russia in the north. Moreover, the system will be planed not only to launch 6 navigation satellites in its orbit in 2012 but also to complete the system with 35 satellites in 2020. The China satellite navigation system can affect to the current circumstance of global satellite navigation world in terms of navigation parameters. In this paper, we investigate characteristics of multi-integrated GNSS involving Beidu-Compass system and discuss general issues involving visibility and GDOP.

The Centimeter Level Augmentation Service (CLAS) is the Precise Point Positioning (PPP) - Real Time Kinematic (RTK) correction service utilizing the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) L6 (1278.65 MHz) signal to broadcast the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) error corrections. Compact State-Space Representation (CSSR) corrections for mitigating GNSS measurement error sources such as satellite orbit, clock, code and phase biases, tropospheric error, ionospheric error are estimated from the ground segment of QZSS CLAS using the code and carrier-phase measurements collected in the Japan's GNSS Earth Observation Network (GEONET). Since the CLAS service begun on November 1, 2018, users with dedicated receivers can perform cm-level precise positioning using CSSR corrections. In this paper, CLAS-based VRS-RTK performance evaluation was performed using Global Positioning System (GPS) observables collected from the refence station, TSK2, located in Japan. As a result of performing GPS-only RTK positioning using the open-source software CLASLIB and RTKLIB, it took about 15 minutes to resolve the carrier-phase ambiguities, and the RTK fix rate was only about 41%. Also, the Root Mean Squares (RMS) values of position errors (fixed only) are about 4cm horizontally and 7 cm vertically.
