Wide area differential GNSS(WA-DGNSS) collects GPS measurements from the several reference stations and estimates 3-D satellite orbit error, satellite clock error, ionospheric delay. These correction messages are broadcasted to user, then user can have more accurate and reliable position estimates. The performance of WA-DGPS can be changed depending on the position of reference stations. To select proper reference stations, performance analysis with the change of reference stations is necessary. In this paper, changing the geographical location of reference stations, we carried out simulation based test and show the performance of WA-DGNSS in Korea.

Civil global navigation satellite system (GNSS) does not meet user performance requirements for specific PNT (Positioning, Navigation, and Time) applications. Therefore, various differential systems are used to augment GNSS for improving positioning accuracy and integrity. The MTSAT satellite augmentation system (MSAS) is the Japanese satellite based augmentation system. This paper is for analyzing the characteristics of Japanese MSAS in Korean peninsula. First of all, it was done for analyzing not only DGNSS navigation signal but also the navigation parameter through simulation and experimental tests. As a result of data analyses, the sufficient navigation satellites to determine 3-D position based on DGNSS are simultaneously available at MSAS monitering station and the southern region of Korean peninsula. It was verified that the carrier to noise signals are stable to maintain the reliable 3-D position and that the level of 2m (2drms) accuracy is very similar to the ordinary worldwide DGNSS as well.

Bathymetry sounding or water depth measurement is becoming more and more sophisticated with the increasing demand in accuracy, resolution and coverage in the recent years. Single beam echo sounding is still utilized to gather single line bathymetric profile in many surveys as ever, although there is an increasing demand for multi-beam echo sounding. Single beam echo sounder system acquires single line profiles of water depth as the vessel travel along the survey line. In this study, we performed single beam echo sounding with GNSS receiver for hydrographic survey at Namgang dam basin to calculate pure sediment. Unlike traditional research, we used not field reference station but NTRIP service of the reference station of DGNSS(Differential Global Navigation Satellite System) Central Office in this GNSS survey. The calculation results show that scouring volume is $603,650m^3$, sediment volume is $3,913,750m^3$ and so pure sediment volume is $3,310,100m^3$ at Namgang dam basin. And the availability of the NTRIP service of the DGNSS Central Office for echo sounding in land area has been confirmed in this study.

Current differential GPS (DGPS) system consists of reference station (RS), integrity monitor (IM), and control station (CS). The RS computes the pseudorange corrections (PRC) and generates the RTCM messages for broadcasting. The IM receives the corrections from the RS broadcasting and verifies that the information is within tolerance. The CS performs realtime system status monitoring and control of the functional and performance parameters. The primary function of a DGPS integrity monitor is to verify the correction information and transmit feedback messages to the reference station. However, the current algorithms for integrity monitoring have the limitations of integrity monitor functions for satellite outage or anomalies. Therefore, this paper focuses on the detection and identification methods of satellite anomalies for maritime DGPS RSIM. Based on the function analysis of current DGPS RSIM, it first addresses the limitation of integrity monitoring functions for DGPS RSIM, and then proposes the detection and identification method of satellite anomalies. In addition, it simulates an actual GPS clock anomaly case using a GPS simulator to analyze the limitations of the integrity monitoring function. It presents the brief test results using the proposed methods for detection and identification of satellite anomalies.

전리층의 총전자수는 이중주파수 GPS 관측정보에 의해 추정될 수 있다. 그러나 GPS 신호에 의해 추정된 총전자수 값은 'DCB(Differential Code Biases)'라 불리는 GPS 위성과 수신기의 하드웨어 바어어스에 의해 영향을 받는다. 이러한 하드웨어 바이어스는 전리층 총전자수 추정의 정확도에 심각한 영향을 줄 수 있기 때문에 반드시 고려해야만 한다. 수신기의 하드웨어 바이어스는 수십 나노초(nano-seconds)에 도달할 수 있고, 수신기의 타입 또는 주변 온도 그리고 수신기 모델마다 다를 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 한국천문연구연과 국토해양부에서 운영하는 GPS 기준국 관측정보를 활용하여 각각의 수신기 바이어스를 1시간 간격으로 추정하고, 변화 특성을 분석한다. 일부 GPS 수신기 바이어스는 IGS (International GNSS Service)에서 제공하는 수신기 바이어스와 그 결과를 비교하여 검증한다. 또한 한반도 상공의 전리층 총전자수 추정과 GPS 수신기 바이어스의 영향을 제시한다.

This paper proposes a precise drone-positioning technique using a differential global positioning system (DGPS). The proposed system consists of a reference station for error correction data production, and a mobile station (a drone), which is the target for real-time positioning. The precise coordinates of the reference station were acquired by post-processing of received satellite data together with the reference station location data provided by government infrastructure. For the system's implementation, low-cost commercial GPS receivers were used. Furthermore, a Zigbee transmitter/receiver pair was used to wirelessly send control signals and error correction data, making the whole system affordable for personal use. To validate the system, a drone-tracking experiment was conducted. The results show that the average real-time position error is less than 0.8 m.

A maritime DGPS in Korea offers pseudo-range correction information and monitors integrity of correction data by using multiple GNSS receivers. The maritime DGPS reference station and integrity monitor service sets alarm threshold value about integrity monitoring parameters for preventing service interruption status. However there is no way to avoid system interruption according to malfunction of backup systems and outside factors. Therefore, in this paper, warning threshold values were proposed for maritime DGPS operator can be counteract in advance. And Markov analysis method was carried out for selection of these warning threshold values.
