With the fast developing pace, the Galileo system is entering the navigation stage with high profile. At the same time, U.S. is accelerating his GPS modernization schedule, and Russian also begins to resuscitate their GLONASS. Moreover, Chinese Beidou system has also joined the satellite navigation family with low profile already. And of course Japanese QZSS even moves forward. Along with the bitter competition in technology, finance, market and even military affairs, all these systems will firmly benefit each other and massively extend the role of civil satellite navigation industry in the future. The Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) would be almost certain to include above major satellite navigation systems. Thus how to utilize the navigation satellite resource for world peace and promote the progress of mankind should be the key issue of this century.

In this paper, we survey recent trends of International Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) organizations such as the International Committee on GNSS (ICG), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), International Maritime Organization (IMO), and International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and investigate their impact on the maritime and aviation sectors. Each international organization promotes international cooperation, improvement of service quality, assurance of security, compliance with international regulations, and technological innovation and development. ICG develops a variety of satellite navigation enhancement systems. ICAO establishes international aviation regulations and standards to enhance aviation safety and security. IMO establishes international shipping conventions and rules to protect and regulate the shipping environment. Lastly, ITU establishes international communication regulations and standards. Investigation of such international organizations plays an important role in increasing the efficiency and reliability of GNSS systems. Each international organization promotes international cooperation, improvement of service quality, assurance of security, compliance with international regulations, and technological innovation and development. In the future, interoperability and compatibility with new satellite navigation systems and other GNSS and satellite navigation enhancement systems must be secured, so and thus investigation of international organizations must be conducted first.

One of the hot issues on GNSS might be that China declared to broadcast the signal of the new Global Navigation Satellite System called Beidou-Compass in December 2011. The multi-GNSS systems with the existing GPS and GLONASS consist of more than 100 GNSS satellites and transmit their signals in near future. Many benefits are expected in accuracy, availability, integrity and increasing anti-jam performance. In this presentation, we have mainly investigated the latest issue for multi- GNSS and discussed spectrum analysis as well as the accuracy improvement issue. The use of the modern weapon system based on satellite navigation information was also briefly investigated in warfare.

The next decade promises drastic improvements and additions to global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). Plans for GPS modernization include a civilian code measurement on the L2 frequency and a new L5 signal at 1176.45 MHz. Current speculations indicate that a fully operational constellation with these improvements could be available by 2013. Simultaneously, the Galileo Joint Undertaking is in the development and validation stages of introducing a parallel GNSS called Galileo. Galileo will also transmit freely available satellite navigation signals on three frequencies and is scheduled to be fully operational as early as 2008. In other words, a dual system receiver (e.g., GPS+GALILEO) for general users can access six civil frequencies transmitted by at least fifty eights navigation satellites in space. The advent of GALILEO and the modernization of GPS raise a lot of attention to the study of the compatibility and interoperability of the two systems. A number of performance analyses have been conducted in a global scale with respect to availability, reliability, accuracy and integrity in different simulated scenarios (such as open sky and urban canyons) for the two systems individually and when integrated. Therefore, the scope of this article aims at providing the technical benefits analysis for Taiwan specifically in terms of the performance indices mentioned above in a local scale, especially in typical urban canyon scenarios. The conclusions gained by this study will be applied by the Land Survey Bureau of Taiwanese as the guideline for developing future GNSS tracking facilities and dual GNSS processing module for precise surveying applications in static and kinematic modes.

The recent emergence of new Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) has resulted in a gradual improvement in the performance of positioning services. This paper verifies the degree of improvement in positioning performance of Assisted-GNSS (A-GNSS) receivers using assistance information compared to standalone-GNSS receivers that do not use assistance information in various urban environments in Korea. For this purpose, field tests are performed in various urban and indoor environments in Korea. The assistance information is provided by u-blox's AssistNow Online and low-cost commercial receivers are used for mobile station receivers. Through experiments, the Time to First Fix (TTFF), acquisition sensitivity, and position accuracy performance improvement are analyzed. The results of the experiments show that using assistance data improved the performance in all experiment locations, and, in particular, a significant performance improvement in terms of TTFF.

위성을 이용한 측위 시스템인 광역위성항법시스템(GNSS : Global Navigation Satellite System)은 측량 및 항법 등에 정확한 위치, 속도 그리고 시간 정보를 제공함으로써 위치결정의 중요한 도구가 되어왔다. 미 국방성에 의해 개발되어 운용되고 있는 범세계적위치결정시스템인 GPS는 GNSS 시장에 독점적인 존재이므로, GNSS 사용자는 GPS에 의존할 수 밖에 없는 상황이다. 이런 독점 상황을 극복하기 위하여 러시아, 유럽 그리고 일본은 독자적인 위성항법시스템을 개발하기 시작하였다. 특히 유럽의 Galileo 시스템은 2008년 발사 목표로 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 위성궤도를 생성하고 분석할 수 있도록 제작한 GIMS2005 프로그램을 이용하여 차세대 GNSS인 Galileo 시스템을 GPS와 비교 분석함에 있다. 본 실험은 GPS 단독 처리의 한계와 GPS/Galileo 결합 시스템의 이점을 인식할 수 있게 한다. 기하구조 분석은 가시위성수, 정밀도 저하율, 내부 신뢰도 그리고 외부 신뢰도를 GPS 단독 처리와 비교하여 분석된다.

본 논문에서는 우리나라 항공용 위성항법 보강시스템의 구축 방안에 대해 ICAO기준을 만족하는 전공역 위성항법 보강시스템 성능기준을 바탕으로 정량화하여 검토하였다. 국제적 동향으로부터 구축예상시점에서의 추세변화를 예측하고, 우선적으로 우리나라 여건에 적합한 구축 시나리오를 설정하여 가용성(Availability)에 대한 성능분석을 수행하였다. 국내 구축 시나리오로는 GBAS의 경우 국내 모든 공항에 구축하고, SBAS와 GRAS의 경우 5개 지역의 기준국과 2개의 중앙처리국이 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 추가적으로 SBAS의 경우는 2개의 지상 송신국(Uplink Station)과 2개의 정지위성이 소요되고, GRAS의 경우는 15개의 VDB가 소요되는 것으로 분석되었다. 전공역에 대한 각 보강시스템들에 대한 우리나라에서의 기용성 분석결과를 제시하였으며, 위성항법기술의 발전추세를 종합적으로 고려하더라도, SBAS와 GRAS의 경우는 CAT-I 수준 이상의 가용성을 보장하지 못할 것으로 판단되는 반면, ABAS의 성능은 지속적으로 개량되어 나갈 것이 확실시 되므로 대형기 중심의 우리나라 상황에서의 항공항법용 보강시스템으로서는 ABAS와 GBAS만으로 충분할 것으로 평가되었다.

본 논문에서는 차세대 위성항법신호에 적합한 부호동기추적편이 보상기법을 제안한다. 다중경로신호는 가시신호보다 항상 지연되어 수신되기 때문에 가시신호가 수신되는 정확한 동기시점보다 이른 오프셋 영역의 상관함수는 다른 값에 비해 다중경로신호에 덜 왜곡된다. 그리고 차세대 위성항법신호의 상관함수는 기존 신호의 함수에 비해 주 첨두 외에 다수의 부 첨두를 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이 특징을 바탕으로 부호동기추적편이를 완화하기 위해 이른 오프셋 영역의 상관함수기울기를 사용한다. 또한 제안한 기법을 구현하기 위해 반드시 필요한 매개변수인 안정된 다중경로환경에서 최대부호동기추적편이를 유도한다. 끝으로 제안한 기법의 성능을 모의실험을 통해 부호동기추적편이와 그 유동평균으로 보인다.

In the case of satellite navigation positioning, the shielding of satellite signals is determined by the environment of the region at which a user is located, and the navigation performance is determined accordingly. The accuracy of user position determination varies depending on the dilution of precision (DOP) which is a measuring index for the geometric characteristics of visible satellites; and if the minimum visible satellites are not secured, position determination is impossible. Currently, the GLObal NAvigation Satellite system (GLONASS) of Russia is used to supplement the navigation performance of the Global Positioning System (GPS) in regions where GPS cannot be used. In addition, the European Satellite Navigation System (Galileo) of the European Union, the Chinese Satellite Navigation System (BeiDou) of China, the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) of Japan, and the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) of India are aimed to achieve the full operational capability (FOC) operation of the navigation system. Thus, the number of satellites available for navigation would rapidly increase, particularly in the Asian region; and when integrated navigation is performed, the improvement of navigation performance is expected to be much larger than that in other regions. To secure a stable and prompt position solution, GPS-GLONASS integrated navigation is generally performed at present. However, as available satellite navigation systems have been diversified, finding the minimum satellite constellation combination to obtain the best navigation performance has recently become an issue. For this purpose, it is necessary to examine and predict the navigation performance that could be obtained by the addition of the third satellite navigation system in addition to GPS-GLONASS. In this study, the current status of the integrated navigation performance for various satellite constellation combinations was analyzed based on 2014, and the navigation performance in 2020 was predicted based on the FOC plan of the satellite navigation system for each country. For this prediction, the orbital elements and nominal almanac data of satellite navigation systems that can be observed in the Korean Peninsula were organized, and the minimum elevation angle expecting signal shielding was established based on Matlab and the performance was predicted in terms of DOP. In the case of integrated navigation, a time offset determination algorithm needs to be considered in order to estimate the clock error between navigation systems, and it was analyzed using two kinds of methods: a satellite navigation message based estimation method and a receiver based method where a user directly performs estimation. This simulation is expected to be used as an index for the establishment of the minimum satellite constellation for obtaining the best navigation performance.
