Unlike OSR(observation space representation), the SSR(state space representation) augmentation system is suitable for a one-way broadcasting service because it provides the same corrections to all users in the service area. Due to this advantage, several GNSS(global navigation system) systems such as Galileo, BDS(beidou navigation satellite system), QZSS(quasi zenith satellite system) are establishing PPP (precise point positioning)/PPP-RTK precision positioning services based on SSR messages. Therefore, in this paper, we try to understand the trends of satellite-based PPP/PPP-RTK correction services by analyzing the system configurations, characteristics, and precise positioning performance of satellite-based SSR correction broadcasting services.

This paper presents a method for utilizing State Space Representation (SSR) corrections generated by the Korean national maritime Precision Positioning and Integrity Monitoring (POINT) system, a Precise Point Positioning - Real-Time Kinematic (PPP-RTK) service, with commercial RTK receivers. Specifically, a real-time SSR to Observation Space Representation (OSR) conversion algorithm is designed and implemented. We describe the structure of SSR corrections provided by the POINT system, including satellite orbit, satellite clock, signal bias, ionospheric delay, tropospheric delay, and coordinate transformation parameters. Additionally, we analyze the positioning accuracy of commercial receivers, such as Trimble, NovAtel, and U-blox, using OSR corrections converted from SSR data. The results demonstrate that the converted OSR corrections can achieve the required centimeter-level accuracy, satisfying the performance criteria for maritime applications. Through this study, we demonstrate that the SSR to OSR conversion software, when integrated with commercial receivers, can effectively enhance positioning accuracy, meeting the stringent requirements for maritime navigation.

Voices demanding a revision of the aviation law on the operating drones are continuously rising high with the increase of their applicability in various industry fields. According to the current regulations, drones are permitted to fly under very strict conditions, which include limited places and the line-of-sight visibility from pilots. Because of the strict regulations, it is almost impossible for drones to be used in many industries such as parcel delivery services. To improve the business value of drones, we have to improve the accuracy of drones' positions and provide the proper protection levels in order to detect and avoid any risks including the collisions with the other drones. SBAS(Satellite Based Augmentation System) can support the aviation requirements with the accuracy and integrity so as to reduce the position errors and to calculate the protection levels of drones. In this paper, we assign the flight heights of drones according to the decision heights as per LAAS(Local Area Augmentation System) landing categories and conduct a simulation to predict the SBAS available time of the day.

SBAS(Satellite Based Augmentation System) broadcasts the correction message based on satellite communication to improve the positioning accuracy of GNSS user. For this reason, SBAS is actively being utilized on navigation part. To apply SBAS to navigation part, it should satisfy not only accuracy but also integrity, continuity, availability, coverage requirements and so on. Since SBAS reference station is the base infrastructure of SBAS, it is the main factor to determine the environment, position, and geometry of reference stations to achieve SBAS service performance. Therefore, a site environmental analysis should be performed prior to the selection of SBAS reference station. In this paper, it performs the environmental analysis of NDGPS(Nationwide Differential GPS) reference station sites on the premise that SBAS reference station will be co-operated in the same site of NDGPS operated by MOF(Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries). The environmental analysis is conducted as carrying out the visibility analysis of GPS satellite and interference analysis. This paper also presents the brief procedures and requirements for site survey of SBAS reference station.

GNSS is a satellite-based radio navigation aid. For using it in civil air navigation area, any GNSS service should meet the requirements of accuracy, integrity, continuity and availability in each flight phase established by ICAO. In this study, a remote integrity monitoring system(RIMS) for GNSS are proposed and explained to utilize it in the design of GNSS augmentation system such as GBAS and GRAS. The RIMS consists of signal-in-space receiving subsystem and signal processing subsystem. Each GPS receiver is connected to Host PC by the serial to ethernet converting device which is able to convert serial port connection to LAN port connection in order to exchange information via the internet. We can overcome the siting limitation of GPS receiver and antenna, and reduce signal loses in the cable between GPS antenna and receiver. This system is providing the development environment for GBAS CAT-I system.

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.

대한민국은 2022년부터 위성을 통한 GPS 측위 보강시스템인 SBAS의 본격 서비스를 목표로 연구개발을 진행 중에 있으며, 기존에 운용되고 있는 전국망 해양 DGPS국을 SBAS 기준국으로 활용하기 위한 방안을 모색하고 있다. 이런 이유에서 본 논문은 해양 DGPS국의 효과적인 공동 활용방안 제안을 위하여 SBAS 기준국의 요구기능과 성능을 분석하고, 해양 DGPS국과 비교하였다. SBAS는 관련 장비와 시설에 대한 검증이 엄격하고, 인증이 필수적이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 해양 DGPS국이 SBAS 기준국으로써 SBAS 운영에 필요한 성능을 만족시키면서 해양 DGPS의 본래 기능과 성능, 표준 준수는 물론이고, 위성항법 시스템의 다원화에 유연하게 대응할 수 있도록 DGPS국의 구조를 설계하였다.

The study attempts to suggest potential problem and solutions expected in the process of implementing KASS, which is currently under development to improve the domestic navigation safety system, and to summarize improvement effects of domestic navigation safety system anticipated by the implementation of KASS. Challenges expected in the process of implementing KASS exists in four aspects: emotional, technical, cost, safety aspects. When KASS is implemented and operates, various benefits can be realized. Benefits include cost savings by not using navigation safety systems during takeoff and landing; reduction of flight delays and cancellations by removing airway congestion; increase of aircraft accommodation capacity; reduction of carbon emissions; preparation for future aviation demands and improvement of air transportation safety; and reduction of flight accidents. In conclusion, it is expected to enter into an era of more intense competition due to increased aviation demands. In order to survive in this competitive environment, early introduction of KASS is indispensable. Analysis results of this study are expected to provide reference information for academic research in this area. A possible future research topic include a study predicting the changes in the navigation safety systems introduced by KASS and proposing practical and useful ways to respond the changes.
