The current SBAS service does not provide a method to integrate multiple SBAS corrections. This paper proposes a positioning method to effectively integrate multiple SBAS and multiple GNSS. In the method, the final position is obtained by the weighted sum of the positions obtained from the combination of GNSS and SBAS. Since each position is independently computed and combined using flexible weights, it has a simple structure that can easily cope with various environments. In order to verify the operation and performance of the proposed method, raw measurements of GNSS and SBAS were collected using commercial receivers. The experiments using real signals show that the combined use of two SBAS corrections was more accurate by 0.05~0.4m(2dRMS) than using only one SBAS correction. To improve the position accuracy, this paper considered the integration of multi-GNSS and multi-SBAS, which was not found in other existing studies. The proposed method is expected to be a core technology for designing multi-GNSS navigation receivers considering multi-SBAS corrections. The importance of the method will be increased as KPS and KASS also available in near future.

NOTAM은 항공과 관련된 상태 정보를 항공종사자들에게 배포하는 공고문을 말한다. 국제민간항공기구인 ICAO는 SBAS 신호에 근거한 접근 절차를 사용하기 위해서는 SBAS 서비스에 대한 NOTAM 서비스를 제공해야 한다고 권고하고 있다. 이에, ICAO 권고사항을 준수하여 KASS가 APV-I 급 SoL 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 SBAS 신호를 이용하여 착륙하는 모든 항공기에 NOTAM 서비스를 제공해야 한다. 때문에 이를 위한 KASS NOTAM 시스템 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 국내외 NOTAM 관련한 규정을 살펴보고 국내에서 일반적인 NOTAM 서비스 제공 현황을 분석하였다. 또한 이를 토대로 KASS NOTAM 서비스 제공 방안을 제시하였다. 그리고 국외 기 구축된 미국 WAAS와 유럽 EGNOS의 NOTAM 시스템 분석을 통하여 향후 개발될 KASS NOTAM 시스템의 구성 방안을 제시하고 구성 방안에 따른 주요 기능 요구 사항을 분석하였다.

In order to provide continuous Korea Augmentation Satellite System (KASS) services, the operation organization should continuously and systematically perform operations, maintenance, and technical activities. All subsystems of KASS, all Line Replacement Units (LRUs), and Software Replacement Units (SWRUs) should be operated and maintained continuously. In order to effectively manage these activities, it is necessary to develop an Operation Management Tool (OMT). For this purpose, operation management, operation organization, and operation activities were defined. The defined requirements were divided into general, function, interface, and database for OMT development, and functions and decision-making procedures consisting of site/asset/trouble/work order/schedule management were designed. The OMT developed by reflecting the site and asset information as well as the design content met predefined requirements. The OMT will be actively used in actual KASS operation and will evolve by continuously reflecting the additional requirements of operators. Through this tool, KASS will support continuous service provision.

Korea Augmentation Satellite System (KASS) is a satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) that provides approach procedure with vertical guidance-I (APV-I) level corrections and integrity information to Korea territory. KASS is used to monitor navigation performance in real-time, and this paper introduces the design, implementation, and verification process of mission monitoring (MIMO) in KASS. MIMO was developed in compliance with the Minimum Operational Performance Standards of the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics for Global Positioning System (GPS)/SBAS airborne equipment. In this study, the MIMO system was verified by comparing and analyzing the outputs of reference tools. Additionally, the definition and derivation method of accuracy, integrity, continuity, and availability subject to MIMO were examined. The internal and external interfaces and functions were then designed and implemented. The GPS data pre-processing was minimized during the implementation to evaluate the navigation performance experienced by general users. Subsequently, tests and verification methods were used to compare the obtained results based on reference tools. The test was performed using the KASS dataset, which included GPS and SBAS observations. The decoding performance of the developed MIMO was identical to that of the reference tools. Additionally, the navigation performance was verified by confirming the similarity in trends. As MIMO is a component of KASS used for real-time monitoring of the navigation performance of SBAS, the KASS operator can identify whether an abnormality exists in the navigation performance in real-time. Moreover, the preliminary identification of the abnormal point during the post-processing of data can improve operational efficiency.

In recent years, research has been actively conducted on the navigation in an indoor environment where Global Navigation Satellite System signals are unavailable. Among them, a study performed indoor navigation by integrating pseudolite carrier and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor. However, in this case, there was no solution for the cycle slip occurring in the carrier. In another study, cycle slip detection and compensation were performed by integrating Global Positioning System (GPS) and IMU in an outdoor environment. However, in an indoor environment, cycle slip occurs more easily and frequently, and thus the occurrence of half cycle slip also increases. Accordingly, cycle slip detection based on 1 cycle unit has limitations. Therefore, in the present study, the aforementioned problems were resolved by performing indoor navigation through the integration of pseudolite and ultra-low-cost IMU embedded in a smartphone and by performing half cycle slip detection and compensation based on this. In addition, it was verified through the actual implementation of real-time navigation.

Network RTK is a highly practical technology that can provide high positioning accuracy at levels between cm~dm regardless of user location in the network by extending the available range of RTK using reference station network. In particular, unlike other carrier-based positioning techniques such as PPP, users are able to acquire high-accuracy positions within a short initialization time of a few or tens of seconds, which increases its value as a future navigation system. However, corrections must be continuously received to maintain a high level of positioning accuracy, and when a time delay of more than 30 seconds occurs, the accuracy may be reduced to the code-based positioning level of meters. In case of SSR, which is currently in the process of standardization for PPP service, the corrections by each error source are transmitted in different transmission intervals, and the rate of change of each correction is transmitted together to compensate the time delay. Using these features of SSR correction is expected to reduce the performance degradation even if users do not receive the network RTK corrections for more than 30 seconds. In this paper, the simulation data were generated from 5 domestic reference stations in Gunwi, Yeongdoek, Daegu, Gimcheon, and Yecheon, and the network RTK and SSR corrections were generated for the corresponding data and applied to the simulation data from Cheongsong reference station, assumed as the user. As a result of the experiment assuming 30 seconds of missing data, the positioning performance compensating for time delay by SSR was analyzed to be horizontal RMS (about 5 cm) and vertical RMS (about 8 cm), and the 95% error was 8.7 cm horizontal and 1cm vertical. This is a significant amount when compared to the horizontal and vertical RMS of 0.3 cm and 0.6 cm, respectively, for Network RTK without time delay for the same data, but is considerably smaller compared to the 0.5 ~ 1 m accuracy level of DGPS or SBAS. Therefore, maintaining Network RTK mode using SSR rather than switching to code-based DGPS or SBAS mode due to failure to receive the network RTK corrections for 30 seconds is considered to be favorable in terms of maintaining position accuracy and recovering performance by quickly resolving the integer ambiguity when the communication channel is recovered.

최근, Multi-GNSS 위성시스템 인프라 환경의 안정화와 이종 위성 조합 활용에 대한 효용성이 입증되면서 측위, 항법 및 시간 정보 관련 응용 등 다양한 산업 분야에서 실시간 Multi-GNSS 조합 활용의 분위기가 높아지고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 가장 수요층이 많은 저가형 1주파 GNSS 위성 수신기 사용자를 대상으로 정적 및 동적 환경에서 4가지 Multi-GNSS 측량기법에 RTCM-SSR 보정류(streams)를 적용, Multi- GNSS 위성의 1주파 실시간 단독측위(SF-RT-PP)의 효용성을 평가하고 대응 과제를 도출하는 것이다. SSR 보정류를 4가지 Multi-GNSS 측위 기법에 연계하여 정적 및 동적 시험장에 적용한 결과, CNES의 SSRa00CNE0 서비스가 2차원 좌표성분에서 다른 SSR 보정류에 비해 양호한 결과를 제시하였다. Multi-GNSS 위성의 Carrier를 활용한 SF-RT-PP 측위 결과, 공통적으로 고도성분에서 큰 편차가 발생되었는데 이에 대한 원인 규명 및 SF-RT-PPP 측위에서 비차감 비조합 전리층 지연보정과 이종 위성조합에 따른 신호 Bias 보정의 중요성을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, Multi-GNSS 위성의 인프라 환경 향상으로 4종의 GNSS 위성 중, 1종 위성만으로도 SF-SPP 측위가 가능함을 확인하였다. 특히, GPS 위성의 1주파 신호만을 활용한 RT-SPP 측위에서 Code 기반 SF-RT-SPP 측위의 경우, 위성궤도/시계 보정관련 보통력과 SSR 보정 간 효과는 미소한 반면, 전리층 보정의 경우는 Klobuchar 모델에 비해 SBAS 보정 정보를 활용한 경우가 높이에서 약 2배 이상의 정확도 향상 효과를 공통적으로 확인할 수 있었다. 향후, 2020년말 Galileo 및 BDS 위성 인프라가 완성되면서 Multi-GNSS 위성의 지역 특성이 반영된 실시간 전리층지연 및 기상특성을 반영한 SSR 조정 서비스가 진행될 경우, SF-RT-PPP 활용성 및 여러 산업부문의 다양한 수요 창출이 기대된다.

이 연구에서는 GNSS (global navigation satellite system) 인프라 기반 측위 보정정보 생성을 위한 전처리 단계인 GPS (global positioning system) 반송파 위상 측정치의 고장 검사를 수행하였다. 기존 CARST (carrier acceleration ramp step test) 방법은 수신기 시계 오차를 제거하기 위해 평균값을 이용함으로써 검사 대상에 영향을 준다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 차분 기법을 적용하여 기존 CARST 결과와 비교하였다. 실 데이터에 인위적인 고장을 인가하여 고장 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과 차분 기법을 적용할 경우 각각의 위성에 대해 독립적인 고장 검출이 가능한 것으로 판단되었으며 단일차분과 이중차분은 유사한 결과를 나타내었다. 실 데이터를 이용하여 기존의 방법과 비교한 결과 위성 간 차분, 수신국간 차분 결과의 장단점을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 결과 값에 대한 위성 및 수신기 시계 오차의 영향은 추가적인 분석이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
