In October 2019, the European Galileo navigation system operates a total of 24 satellites, two of them are in the testing phase. There are enough satellites in operation to enable precise point positioning (PPP) using Galileo signals. The number of visible satellites for Galileo in South Korea is investigated. In addition, to assess the latest performance of the Galileo kinematic PPP, data received at DAEJ reference station from October 1 to October 7, 2019, are analyzed. Galileo kinematic PPP presents some results in two categories, single-frequency PPP (SPPP) and dual-frequency PPP (DPPP). The positioning accuracy for Galileo kinematic SPPP solutions is less than 1 m root mean square (RMS) in all direction components. The Galileo kinematic DPPP achieves the positioning accuracy with an RMS value of less than 7 cm in all direction components. The results show that the latest performance of Galileo kinematic PPP at DAEJ station in South Korea is still relatively poor compared to GPS kinematic PPP. However, the residuals of Galileo code measurements are smaller than those of GPS code measurements.

휴대용 단말에 간편하게 구현 가능하도록 GPS의 코드의사거리 관측치 기반의 정밀단독측위(PPP; Precise Point Positioning) 알고리즘을 개발하고 그 성능을 검증하였다. PPP에 필요한 기본 모델로 그룹 딜레이, 상대성 효과, 위성안테나 위상중심오프셋 보정모델을 적용하였다. 위성 궤도와 시계오차는 IGS(International GNSS Service) 공식 산출물에 최적의 알고리즘을 통해 보간하고, 대류권과 전리층 오차는 각각 과학기술용 GPS 자료처리 소프트웨어로 산출한 참값과 GIM(Global Ionosphere Model)을 사상함수를 적용해 시선방향 오차로 변환해 적용하였다. 개발된 알고리즘을 4일간 테스트한 결과 수평오차는 0.8~1.6m, 수직오차는 1.6~2.2m 수준으로 나타났다. 이는 DGPS 측위결과와 유사한 성능으로 향후 PPP 알고리즘의 추가개선이 이루어질 경우 다양한 측량 및 위치기반서비스 분야에 활용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

In order to synchronize a remote system time to the reference time like Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), it is required to compare the time difference between the two clocks. GNSS Precise Point Positioning (PPP) is one of the most general geodetic positioning methods and can be used for time and frequency transfer applications which require more precise time comparison performance than GNSS code. However, the PPP technique has a main drawback of day-boundary discontinuity which comes from the PPP model that the code measurements are applied to resolve the floating carrier-phase ambiguities. The Integer PPP (IPPP) technique is one of the methods which has been studied to compensate the day-boundary discontinuities exited in the conventional PPP. In this paper, we investigate the time and frequency capabilities of PPP and IPPP by using the measurement data obtained from two time transfer receivers which are closely located and using common reference 1 Pulse Per Second (PPS) and RF signals. From the experiment, it is investigated that the IPPP method can effectively compensate the day-boundary discontinuities without producing frequency offset. However, the PPP method can generating frequency offset which can severely degrade the time comparison performance with long-term period data.

Precise Point Positioning-Real Time Kinematic (PPP-RTK) is an improved PPP method that provides the user receiver with satellite code and phase bias correction information in addition to the satellite orbit and clock, thus enabling single-receiver ambiguity resolution. Single station PPP-RTK concept is special case of PPP-RTK in that corrections are computed, instead of a network, by only one single GNSS receiver. This study is performed to experimentally verify the positioning accuracy performance of single baseline RTK level by a user who utilizes correction for a single station PPP-RTK using dual frequencies. As an experimental result, the horizontal and vertical 95% accuracy was 2.2 cm, 4.4 cm, respectively, which verify the same performance as the single baseline RTK.

The purpose of this study is to develop precise point positioning (PPP) algorithms based on GLONASS code-pseudorange, verify their performance and present their utility. As the basic correction models of PPP, we applied Inter Frequency Bias (IFB), relativistic effect, satellite antenna phase center offset, and satellite orbit and satellite clock errors, ionospheric errors, and tropospheric errors that must be provided on a real-time basis. The satellite orbit and satellite clock errors provided by Information-Analytical Centre (IAC) are interpolated at each observation epoch by applying the Lagrange polynomial method and linear interpolation method. We applied Global Ionosphere Maps (GIM) provided by International GNSS Service (IGS) for ionospheric errors, and increased the positioning accuracy by applying the true value calculated with GIPSY for tropospheric errors. As a result of testing the developed GLONASS PPP algorithms for four days, the horizontal error was approximately 1.4 ~ 1.5 m and the vertical error was approximately 2.5 ~ 2.8 m, showing that the accuracy is similar to that of GPS PPP.

Fields of high-precision positioning applications are growing fast across the mass market worldwide. Accordingly, the industry is focusing on developing methods of applying State-Space Representation (SSR) corrections on low-cost GNSS receivers. Among SSR correction types, this paper analyzes Safe Position Augmentation for Real Time Navigation (SPARTN) messages being offered by the SAfe and Precise CORrection DAta (SAPCORDA) company and validates positioning algorithms based on them. The first part of this paper introduces the SPARTN format in detail. Then, procedures on how to apply Basic-Precision Atmosphere Correction (BPAC) and High-Precision Atmosphere Correction (HPAC) messages are described. BPAC and HPAC messages are used for correcting satellite clock errors, satellite orbit errors, satellite signal biases and also ionospheric and tropospheric delays. Accuracies of positioning algorithms utilizing SPARTN messages were validated with two types of positioning strategies: Code-PPP using GPS pseudorange measurements and PPP-RTK including carrier phase measurements. In these performance checkups, only single-frequency measurements have been used and integer ambiguities were estimated as float numbers instead of fixed integers. The result shows that, with BPAC and HPAC corrections, the horizontal accuracy is 46% and 63% higher, respectively, compared to that obtained without application of SPARTN corrections. Also, the average horizontal and vertical RMSE values with HPAC are 17 cm and 27 cm, respectively.

Precise Point Positioning-Real Time Kinematic (PPP-RTK) refers to a technology that combines PPP with network-RTK in which a user does not directly receive observed data from a reference station but receives State-Space Representation (SSR) messages corrected for error components from a central processing station through Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol (NTRIP) or Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) for purposes of positioning. SSR messages, which refer to corrections used in PPP-RTK, are generated by a central processing station using real-time observed data collected from reference stations and account for corrections needed due to the ionosphere, troposphere, satellite orbital errors, satellite time offsets, and satellite biases. This study used a type of SSR message provided in South Korea, known as Korea-SSR (K-SSR), to implement a PPP-RTK algorithm based on code-pseudorange measurements and validated its accuracy within the reference station network. In order to validate the accuracy of the implemented algorithm outside of the network, the K-SSR was extrapolated and applied to positioning in reference stations in Changchun, China (CHAN) and Japan (AIRA). This also entailed a quantitative evaluation that measured improvements in accuracy in comparison with point positioning. The results of the study showed that positioning applied with extrapolated K-SSR correction data was more accurate in both AIRA and CHAN than point positioning with improvements of approximately 20~50%.

QZSS (Quasi-Zenith Satellite System)는 위성의 L6 밴드를 통해서 CLAS (Centimeter Level Augmentation Service)를 제공한다. CLAS는 현재 GPS (Global Positioing System), Galileo 그리고, QZSS 위성군에 대한 보정정보를 제공하며, 이러한 보정정보를 C-SSR (Compact - Space State Representation)라고 한다. 본 연구에서는 L6 밴드를 수신할 수 있는 GPS 수신기인 Septentrio의 AsteRx4를 이용하여 CLAS 메시지를 수신하고, 그 메시지를 디코딩하여 C-SSR을 획득하였다. 그리고, GPS, Galileo, QZSS의 코드의사거리 관측치에 Compact SSR을 적용하여 GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) 오차를 보정하고, 비선형 최소제곱법으로 수신기의 3차원 위치 및 위성군의 시계오차들을 추정하는 다중 위성항법 기반의 Code-PPP (Precise Point Positioning)를 개발하였다. 개발한 알고리즘의 정확도를 평가하기 위해서 IGS (International GNSS Service) 사이트 중 하나인 TSK2 (Tsukuba)를 대상으로 정지측위를 수행하고, 일본의 가와니시(Kawanishi)시의 이나강(Ina river) 주변을 주행하며 이동측위를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 정지측위의 경우 모든 데이터셋의 평균 RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error)는 수평방향으로 0.35 m, 수직방향으로 0.57 m의 정확도를 나타냈다. 그리고 이동측위의 경우 VRS의 RTK-FIX 값과 비교해 봤을 때 수평방향은 약 0.82 m, 수직방향은 약 3.56 m의 정확도를 나타냈다.

본 논문은 데이터 통신의 전송효율 측면에서 OSI 표현계층에서 수행되는 문자의 원천부호화에 대하여 연구하였다. 데이터링크 계층의 HDLC와 PPP 프로토콜은 프레임과 프레임간의 식별 및 수신기의 동기화 패턴용으로 프레임의 맨 앞뒤에 FLAG 바이트를 삽입한다. 이 FLAG 바이트는 "01111110"의 8비트열로 구성된다. 그러므로 데이터비트열에서 "0"비트 이후 "1"의 비트가 연속하여 5개 이상 발생될 경우 데이터비트열이 플래그(flag)로 혼동되어 질 수 있다. 이를 방지하기 위해 HDLC에서는 데이터 비트열에 "1"의 비트가 5개 이상 연속될 경우 5번째 비트 다음에 "0"비트를 인위적으로 추가해 주고 있다. 그러므로 문자 부호에 연속 5개의 "1"비트열이 많이 발생하도록 부호화하게 되면 데이터 통신의 전송 효율에 영향을 주게 된다. 본 본문에서는 문자부호에 연속 5개 이상의 비트"1"이 발생 되지 않도록 하는 문자부호화 규칙을 제시하였다.
