In this paper, we propose a round trip time (RTT)-enabled Doppler-based positioning method considering the low earth orbit (LEO) satellite visibility restriction. Doppler-based positioning typically requires visibility to at least eight satellites, which is often unfeasible due to the limited coverage of LEO satellites, as beamforming technique is applied to current LEO satellites. To solve this problem, we utilize the RTT measurements, assuming that a communication link exists between the user equipment (UE) and LEO satellites. We employ the Newton-Raphson method to estimate the UE position with RTT and Doppler measurements. We analyze the positioning performance of the considered framework via simulation, demonstrating its performance in 3D positioning errors under varying satellite numbers and measurement errors.

사용자들이 위치 정보를 가장 많이 요구하는 분야가 바로 육상교통 분야이다. 특히 보다 정확한 위치 정보를 제공함으로써 지능형 도로 교통 관리가 가능하고, 일반 사용자에게도 편리를 가져다준다. 무선 통신망의 발달로 언제 어디서나 주변 기준국의 GPS 정보를 수신할 수 있기 때문에 차량에서도 정밀 측위가 가능하다. 일반적으로 정밀 측위를 위해서는 코드, 반송파 측정치를 사용한다. 하지만 수신기에서는 코드, 반송파 측정치 뿐 아니라 도플러 측정치도 제공하고 있고 도플러 측정치는 속도에 대한 측정치이다. 속도는 육상교통 환경에서 요구되는 중요한 정보이기 때문에 본 논문에서는 도플러 측정치까지 추가하여 육상교통 환경에 적합한 정밀 측위 기법을 연구하였다. 정밀 측위 기법으로는 RTK(Real-Time Kinematic) 기법을 사용하였고, 여기에 측정치로 이중 차분된 도플러 측정치를 추가하였다. 그 결과 도심지역에서 발생하는 다중 경로 또는 반송파의 사이를 슬립(Cyde Slip)에 의한 위치 오차가 완화되었다. 하지만 여전히 발생하는 위치 오차를 완화시키기 위해서 도플러 측정치를 이용한 위치 영역에서의 스무딩 기법을 적용하였다.

In this paper, a structure of precise positioning based on satellite navigation system is proposed. The proposed system is consisted with three parts, range domain filter, navigation filter and position domain filter. The range domain filter generates carrier phase-smoothed-Doppler and Doppler-smoothed-code measurements. And the navigation filter calculates position and velocity using double-differenced code/carrier phase/Doppler measurements. Finally, position domain filter smooth position error, and it means enhancement of positioning performance. The proposed positioning method is evaluated by trajectory analysis using precise map date. As a result, the position error occurred by multipath or cycle slip was reduced and the calculated trajectory was in true lane.

When an incoming Global Positioning System (GPS) signal is acquired, pull-in search performs a finer search of the Doppler frequency of the incoming signal so that phase lock loop can be quickly stabilized and the receiver can produce an accurate pseudo-range measurement. However, increasing the accuracy of the Doppler frequency estimation often involves a higher computational cost for weaker GPS signals, which delays the position fix. In this paper, we show that the Doppler frequency detectable by a long coherent auto-correlation can be accurately estimated using a complex-weighted sum of consecutive short coherent auto-correlation outputs with a different Doppler frequency hypothesis, and by exploiting this we propose a noise resistant, low-cost and highly accurate Doppler frequency and phase estimation technique based on a reverse directional application of the finite rate of innovation (FRI) technique. We provide a performance and computational complexity analysis to show the feasibility of the proposed technique and compare the performance to conventional techniques using numerous Monte Carlo simulations.

This paper concerns to the acquisition of Global Positioning System L1 C/A coded signals. It specifically addresses the issues of acquiring very low power signals which are attenuated due to special circumstances such as indoor environment or forest canopy etc. The proposed post-processing algorithm applies modified signal folding coherent integration scheme on weak signal record. It dynamically compensates the doppler effect on the length of C/A code before integrating the signal power. Experimental results show effectiveness of the algorithm on weak GPS signals recorded in a real environment.

The occurrence of cycle slips is a major limiting factor to attain high precision positioning and navigation results with GPS. Cycle slips must be correctly repaired at the data processing stage. In this study, the technique to find cycle slips in the processing of data collected with Trimble 4700 GPS receivers is suggested. The use of Kalman filtering techniques is used in an attempt to reduce the effect of the noise in the different quantities involved and to improve the accuracy in cycle slip correction.

측지학적인 절대측위 방법들은 아직 관측상의 많은 문제점과 어려움을 내포하고 있으며, 국내에서도 정확한 절대측위 성과의 필요성 때문에 GPS를 이용한 절대위치결정에 관한 연구가 일부기관에서 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2주파 GPS 반송파 맥놀이 위상(carrier bast phase)자료에 의한 절대위치 결정의 기본 이론을 정립하고 각종오차 보정량을 산출하며, 정밀궤도력과 정밀시계상태를 이용해 독립적인 절대위치를 결정하여 이에 대한 정확도를 분석하고자 한다. 또한 독립적인 절대좌표를 상대측위에 의한 상대좌표와 비교함으로써 국내에서도 GPS를 이용한 측지학적인 절대위치 결정의 가능성을 제시하고자 한다.

A Satellite -aided search and rescue system is expected for its many advantage of global coverage, instantaneousness and low cost. In this paper, a calculation method is proposed , by which a position of distress can be determined with doppler frequency received through an orbital satellite. First, an algorithm and program is developed for calculating the position of distress with the received doppler frequency of EPIRB(Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) with the least square method. Then, position error caused by the drift of the transmitting frequency is evaluated. The evaluation is made by the simulation using NNSS satellite orbital elements and varying position of EPIRB, numbers of Doppler data and magnitudes of various errors. As the result, the availability of this program for a satellite-aided search and rescue system is confirmed and the bounds of expected positioning accuracy is clarified.

As the NNSS system calculates ship's position by the doppler shift of the NNSS radio waves caused by the change of the distance between Transit Satellite and the ship, ship's speed error inevitably results in the position error, and moreover this kind of erroris most dominant compared with other errors especially in high speed ships and airplanes. Most NNSS receivers now in use have adoptedsuccessive short doppler counts as positioning data and by investigating the dispersion of serval successive positions calculated and by neglecting the mean position having dispersion of over certain threshold level, more accurate adn safe position is to be achieved. This paper proposes the method of finding ship's true speed by selecting a speed having least position dispersion for given successive doppler counts. And by computer simulation it was verified that the method proposed here is reasonable in finding the ship's desired correct speed together with the correct ship's position.

The Kinematic GPS is well known to provide a quite good accuracy of positioning within an level. Although kinematic GPS assures high precision measurement on the basis of an appreciable distance between a reference station and an observational point, it has measurable distance restriction within 20 km from a reference station on land. Therefore, it is necessary to make out a simple and low-cost method to obtain accurate positioning information without distance restriction In this paper, the velocity integration method to get the precise velocity information of a ship is explained. The experimental results of Zig-zag maneuver and Williamson turn as the ship's maneuvering test, and other experimental results of ship's movement during leaving and entering the port with low speed were shown. From the experimental results, ship's course, speed and position are compared with those obtained by kinematic-GPS, velocity integration method and dead reckoning position using Gyro-compass and Doppler-log.
