To survey satellites using only GPS can sometimes cause an impossible situation due to the many different geographical conditions as city cannon and obstacles. Although the GLONASS satellite system does not have the ability to survey itself accurately since it currently lacks of the number of usable satellites, it is able to bridge the gap when combined with GPS. This research used the GPS receiver to perform four analyzing methods to bring out the independent surveying method of GPS and combined surveying method of GPS and GLONASS(4 methods - number of satellites able to receive, precision of raw data, standard deviation from known point and RTK surveying). The result of test surveying satellites showed that 11 hours were possible to measure a minimum of 4 satellites when using an independent surveying method and 4 hours in unified surveying method in a month. Also, the precision of raw data using GPS and GLONASS surveying is 0.08~l.8m better than the GPS surveying in standard deviation. The deviation of known points by GPS and GLONASS also showed better accuracy by 3~l1mm. The RTK showed the range of differences in deviation of survey by leaning towards the GPS independent survey in Northing coordinate and leaned towards the Easting coordinate when GPS and GLONASS were combined. Nonetheless, it can't be said that the unified method is better, because it has limits to its capability.

This paper explains major considerations for integrated GPS/GLONASS/BDS positioning, and then analyzes integrated GNSS positioning accuracies based on low-cost receivers in open-sky and poor reception environments. In an open-sky environment, horizontal RMSE of the integrated system positioning is about 1.2m. It shows improved result compared with single system positioning, the improvement ratio was 17-55%. In poor reception environments, we sometimes could not do positioning because the number of visible satellites gets below four. In an integrated positioning mode, the number of visible satellites was always higher than four, allowing us to find positions all the time. The horizontal RMSE of the integrated system positioning in poor reception environments is about 6.4m. Compared with single system positioning;the integrated system positioning shows better performance and the improvement ratio was 8-47% for the horizontal directions.

GNSS 시스템의 다원화에 따른 DGPS RSIM 기능도 DGNSS 체제로 기능적, 시스템적 고도화가 필요한 시점이 도래하고 있다. 이와 관련하여 차세대 DGNSS RSIM 아키텍처를 미국 해양경비대(USCG) NAVCEN에서 제안하였는데, 이 차세대 DGPS RSIM 아키텍처의 기본 요구조건은 PC 플랫폼 기반의 신규 신호 및 기술에 대한 충분한 유연성을 확보할 수 있고, 기존 사용자 수신기와 기존 기준국 시스템과의 충분한 호환이 가능해야 한다는 것이다. 그러나 위의 제시된 아키텍처는 DGPS RSIM 시스템의 소프트웨어 응용에 초점이 맞추어져 있어서 GNSS 다원화에 따른 DGNSS 기준국 기능 고도화에 한계가 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 소프트웨어 DGNSS RSIM 개발을 위한 후속연구로서, 현재 운영 중인 GPS/GLONASS를 중심으로 보정정보 생성 및 그 측위정확도 성능분석에 중점을 두고자 한다. 기 설계된 DGNSS 소프트웨어 RSIM 아키텍처에 대해 설명하고, 설계된 아키텍처와 통합보정정보 생성 및 처리 기법이 적용된 GPS/GLONASS 통합보정시스템을 구현하여, 향후 소프트웨어 DGNSS RSIM을 위한 측위정확도 측면에서의 성능을 분석한다.

GPS is an efficient system in surveying and car navigation. but it is difficult to catch minimum number of satellite when it is hindered by obstacle such as city area. GLONASS system doesn't have perfect constellation yet, but it has many similarities with GPS system in principle of point positioning and signal system. so, it is expected to be much efficient when it is used with GPS system. For the purpose of this, the coordinates of GPS and GLONASS system, the quality of time and frequency was investigated, and the algorithm of point positioning was made. also, the efficiency of GPS/GLONASS combination was presented by analysing the precision of 3D point positioning using C/A code and Yuma satellite orbit information.

Currently, GPS(Global Positioning System) is used to find user location information. However, in some cases, especially in urban environments, we receive unreliable location information deu to multipath fading. In order to resolve this problem, we propose a closely coupled positioning technique where GPS signal is combined with QZSS signal. Also we proposed and analyze a combining algorithm of GNSS and Wi-Fi signals to get closely coupled location information by referring AP information. Finally, this paper proposes a combined GPS/QZSS/Wi-Fi navigation algorithm to improve navigation performance, and it is verified by testing of car deriving according to availability and accuracy standard.

This paper describes the availability of the forthcoming integrated GNSS(Global Navigation Positioning System) positioning that includes GPS(Global Positioning System), Galileo, and QZSS(Quasi-Zenith Satellites System). We built a signal propagation model that identifies direct, multipath, and diffraction signals, using the principles of specular reflection and ray tracing technique. The signal propagation model was combined with 3D GIS(three-dimensional geographic information system) in order to measure the satellite visibility and positioning error factors, such as the number of visible satellites, average elevation of visible satellites, optimized DOP(dilution of position) values, and the portion of multipath-producing satellites. Since Galileo and QZSS will not be fully operational until 2010, we used a simulation in comparing GPS and GNSS positioning for a $1km{\times}1km$ developed area in Shinjuku, Tokyo. To account for local terrain variation. we divided the target area into 40,000 $5m{\times}5m$ grid cells. The number of visible satellites and that of multipath-free satellites will be greatly increased in the integrated GNSS environment while the average elevation of visible satellites will be higher in the GPS positioning. Much decreased PDOP(position dilution of precision) values indicate the appropriate satellite/user geometry of the integrated GNSS; however, in dense urban areas, multipath mitigation will be more important than the satellite/user geometry. Thus, the efforts for applying current technologies of multipath mitigation to the future GNSS environment will be necessary.

In this paper, using the received signal strength of radio beacon such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, CDMA and GPS signal from the satellite, we propose the system of positioning which considered indoor and outdoor based on the Place Lab. Conventional Place Lab utilize the various positioning parameters to estimate the indoor location. However, this conventional system has limitations with respect to the range and efficiency of usage. Therefore, we defined the converged model of multisensor data and re-organized the Place Lab to overcome the limitation of a conventional system. Proposed system uses the radio beacon signal and GPS signal together to estimate the location. Furthermore, it provides the seamless PNS service with many mobile devices because this system realized by the OSGi bundle. This proposed system has evaluated the performance with SAMSUNG T*OMNIA SCH-M490 smart phone and the result shows the system is able to support the PNS service.

After USA removed the Selective Availability (SA), Global Positioning System (GPS) has monopolized the world market and other countries have been depended on GPS, absolutely. So the other countries, Russia, European Community (EC) and Japan, which apprehend to monopolize in technical and strategic parts, are developing the next generation GNSS including GLONASS Galileo and JRANS. And the countries are planning to provide the another GNSS. This research has focused on the next generation GNSS system based on GPS and Galileo system with developing a GNSS simulation software, named as GlMS2005, which generates and analyzes satellite constellation and measurements. Based on the software, a variety of simulation tests have been carried out to recognize limits of GPS-only system and potential benefits of integrated GPS/Galileo positioning in terms of satellite geometry strength and solution accuracy.

Recently, various networks have been introduced in the car of the internal and external sides. These have been integrated by one HMI(Human Machine Interface) to control devices of each network and provide information service. The existing vehicle navigation system, providing GPS based vehicle positioning service, has been included to these integrated networks as a default option. The GPS has been used to the most universal device to provide position information by using satellites' signal. But It is impossible to provide the position information when the GPS can't receive the satellites' signal in the area of tunnel, urban canyon, or forest canopy. Thus, this paper propose and implement the method of measuring vehicle position by using the sensing data of internal CAN network and external Wi-Fi network of the integrated car navigation circumstances when the GPS doesn't work normally. The results obtained by implementation shows the proposed method works well by map matching.
