This paper describes the progress and results of 'Wide Area Differetial GNSS (WA-DGNSS) Development' project which is supported by Korea Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs. This project develops the main algorithm of the WA-DGNSS which can guarantee the improved accuracy, availability and integrity all over the Korean peninsula. After the establishment of WA-DGNSS ground system, a real time demonstration using pseudolite will be conducted. Product of this project will be directly utilized in Korean Satellite Based Augmentation System(SBAS) development project which is planned to be started from 2014.

Visibility of the satellite navigation is related to a environmental condition of a receiver. Obstacles like buildings and trees in urban areas can block signals and have effects on accuracy and reliability of positioning. This paper presents a method of creating 3D analysis model of urban canyon of Seoul using three-Dimensional digital map. Analysis techniques of visible satellites with Ray-Polygon Collision Detection and validation of algorithm through field tests are discussed. We have compared and analyzed the visibility of GPS and Galileo with respect to separate and simultaneous tracking in view of DOP (Dilution of Precision) using the 3D GIS digital map.

This study examined cadastral surveying technology regulated under the "Special Law for the cadastral surveying", and analyzed the related surveying methods currently used. Based on the analysis, this study suggested the efficient application plan future cadastral surveying projects. The new technologies analyzed were GNSS, GPS RTK, Network RTK, GPS Augmentation System, and the mobile and auto sighting TS. As a result of the analysis, this study suggests that if a receiving technology is possible for the integrated receiving of GPS/GLONASS/Galileo systems, both the accuracy of location determination could be enhanced and stable data could be obtained. The Network RTK technology may solve the constraint receiving factors of satellite information in the long term if a GPS Augmentation System is used. Finally, mobile and auto sighting TS technologies can reduce the personnel factors, but can be applied after the offset problem is overcome.

Recently, GNSS users can utilize various navigation satellite thanks to GPS modernization, renewal of GLONASS, and development of Galileo and Beidou. And availability performance of users is expected to be improved because these new navigation satellites transmit L5 signal as well as L1 signal, and users can directly estimate the ionospheric delays. In accordance with these changes existing Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) which considers only GPS L1 signal is being developed to support dual frequency and multi-constellation GNSS users. This paper describes the main features of dual-frequency, multi-constellation SBAS algorithms and estimates the performance in Korean region by simulation.

A Neustrelitz TEC model (NTCM) developed by Deutsches Zentrum $f{\ddot{u}}r$ Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) provides a better accuracy than the global positioning system (GPS) Klobuchar model for predicting ionospheric delay. The NTCM model accuracy is comparable to Galileo NeQuick model, and it has less computation time. The NTCM model uses F10.7 values as a parameter of solar activity function, while a NTCM-Broadcast (NTCM-BC) uses TEC values from a Klobuchar model. For this reason, a NTCM-BC model can be used for real-time ionosphere correction. In this paper, vertical ionospheric delay and GPS positioning errors in Korea by using a NTCM-BC ionosphere model from 2009 to 2014 are analyzed and compared with those of a Klobuchar model. In the 6-year statistics, the vertical ionospheric delay is reduced by 17.7 %, and horizontal and vertical positioning accuracies by the NTCM-BC model are improved by 25.6 % and 6.7 %, respectively, over the Klobuchar model.

At present, available positioning satellites are not only the GPS, but also GLONASS, GALILEO, QZSS, BeiDou. However, the differential GPS, the augmentation service for increase the positioning accuracy, is follow the RTCM version 2.3 standard. So, it can service the correction information about only GPS. For solve this problem, RTCM is making the new version of RTCM message standard that can service the correction information for all of available GNSS. In South Korea, the software DGNSS RSIM system was installed at almost the whole DGNSS reference station. In this reason, that can cope with the new RTCM version 2.4 quickly. However, the DGNSS Reference Station based RSIM 1.3 can not make the GNSS's PRC simultaneously and can not support RTCM version 2.4. Thus, in this paper, the version of RTCM 2.4 is analyzed and the RTCM version 2.4 message generating module's architecture for software DGNSS reference station is designed.

LBS(Location Based System) is the essential technology of ubiquitous market and utilizes the GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite). GNSS includes GPS of USA, Galileo of Europe Union, QZSS of Japan, Compass of China, and IRNSS of India. Related researches have recently been conducted. Once the satellite is launched, the maintenance such as modification and verification of its function is difficult. Therefore, before the launch of satellites, more precise and concrete verification of performance and operations are needed. In order to do this, hardware testbed may be developed. but software simulators can provide more flexible and cost effective simulation results. These simulators should provide the essential function handling all kinds of error features experienced upon propagation of the GNSS signal. In this paper, we present a design and implementation results of a window-based simulator applying the modeling of various error features for several GNSS.

GPS RTK surveying has an issue that the positioning error increases as the base line distance between the reference station and rover station increases. However, nowadays, an accuracy assessment that can handle such issue is surely required because of the modernization of GLONASS, Galileo project, and other improvements of satellite receiving conditions. Therefore, in this research, we compared and analyzed data sets collected with the CORS network, placed at NGII and NDGPS, using Internet RTK surveying in different satellite receiving conditions. As a result, there was a negative effect on the positioning accuracy as the base line distance increases. Furthermore, we could collect quantitative data of the accuracy of RTK surveying. When national-wide GNSS system is fully established, this result will contribute the growth of various GNSS industries including survey industries and land survey industries.

To design a new Navigation Satellite System signal, we should analyze the influence of inter-system interference to existing Global Navigation Satellite Systems(GNSS). Various GNSS systems such as GSP, GALILEO, Compass use same frequence band and incur inter-system interference due to the overlapping spectrums. In this paper, we consider L2 Band for new Navigation Satellite System and propose the BOCcos(15,2.5) signal what has least Spectral Separation Coefficient with GPS L2 system. Assuming 4 stationary satellite over Korea, we simulate the effect of interference. As a result, proposed system shows very small mutual interference effect and negligible effective signal to noise ratio(SNR) loss, compared to the interferences between GNSS systems in L1 Band.

In this study, an integrated GNSS Simulator called Inha GNSS Simulation System (IGSS) using 3D spatial information was developed and validated. Also positioning availability and accuracy improvement were evaluated under the integrated GNSS environment using IGSS. GPS and GLONASS satellite visibility predictions were compared with real observations, and their frequency of error were 6.4% and 7.5%, respectively. To evaluate positioning availability and accuracy improvement under the integrated GNSS environment, the Daejeon government complex area was selected to be the test site because the area has high-rise buildings and thus is susceptible to signal blockages. The test consists of three parts: the first is when only GPS was used; the second is when both GPS and GLONASS were simulated; and the last is when GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo were used all together. In each case, the number of visible satellites and Dilution Of Precision were calculated and compared.
