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.

Wide Area Differential GNSS(WA-DGNSS) was developed in order to improve the accuracy and integrity performance of GNSS. In Korea, WA-DGNSS development project, which aims to develop core algorithms and verify the performance using pseudolite-based demo system, is currently in progress. In this paper, overall structure of developed system and experimental methods which enables the post-processing test with commercial receiver will be described. In this system, pseudolite is used to broadcast augmenting signal and RF signal logger and broadcaster were used to test the performance. Performance test was conducted broadcasting the logged RF signal and pseudolite signal to commercial receiver and those results will be described.

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.

The conventional indexes for describing the GNSS positioning performance such as satellite visibility, dilution of precision (DOP) and signal to noise ratio is very useful in open sky, however, they are not useful in the land road environment. In this paper new index is suggested for describing the GNSS positioning performance for the road environment. The new index is called Sky View based DOP (SVDOP). SVDOP is derived referring the Sky-View-Factor (SVF). The usefulness is analyzed by comparing the SVDOP and SVF in land road environment after the singularity points are selected and SVDOP is calculated.

SBAS is a satellite based navigation correction system that provides correction information and integrity information of GNSS signal through geostationary satellite based on analysis of GNSS signal in ground station. KASS, a Korean SBAS, is aiming at the APV-1 class SoL service in 2022. Sufficient ground and flight tests must be performed in advance to provide SoL services. However, since KASS, the Korean SBAS, has not yet been added in Korea, specific detailed evaluation items are not presented. EGNOS, which is expected to be the most compatible with KASS and is being serviced after its development, has already been evaluated. In this paper, we analyze the regulations applied to EGNOS construction and analyze the criteria of ground and flight test evaluation items required for flight testing, which is expected to be referenced to the flight inspection process in the future.

Satellite-based argumentation systems (SBAS) is a system that enhances the accuracy, integrity, availability and continuity of GNSS navigation users by using geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites to send correction information and the failures of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) satellites in the form of messages. The correction information provided by SBAS is pseudorange error, satellite orbit error, clock error, and ionospheric delay error at 250 bps. Therefore, A lot of message processing are required for the SBAS navigation. There is a need to reduce SBAS time to first fix (TTFF) for using SBAS navigation in systems with short operating time. In this paper, A-SGNSS operation method was proposed for reducing SBAS TTFF. Also, A-SGNSS TTFF and availability were analyzed.

For improvement of network RTK performance in survey field, Spatial Information Research Institute (SIRI), LX Korea Cadastral Survey Corporation installed 30 GNSS permanent stations in Korea Peninsula, and has been running the MAC-based network RTK service as a test version. In this paper, we introduce the LX GNSS network and analyze the positioning accuracy of the LX MAC RTK service. For field test of the LX MAC RTK service, we installed temporally fixed anchor points and observed simultaneously with VRS of National Geographic Information Institute. As a result, the horizontal position differences and initial times of LX MAC with respect to NGII VRS are $1{\sim}2{\pm}1cm$ and <10 seconds, respectively.

The State Space Representation (SSR) method provides individual corrections for each Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) error components. This method can lead to less bandwidth for transmission and allows selective use of each correction. Precise Point Positioning (PPP) - Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) is one of the carrier-based precise positioning techniques using SSR correction. This technique enables high-precision positioning with a fast convergence time by providing atmospheric correction as well as satellite orbit and clock correction. Currently, the positioning service that supports PPP-RTK technology is the Quazi-Zenith Satellite System Centimeter Level Augmentation System (QZSS CLAS) in Japan. A system that provides correction for each GNSS error component, such as QZSS CLAS, requires monitoring of each error component to provide reliable correction and integrity information to the user. In this study, we conducted an analysis of the performance of residual error bounding for each error component. To assess this performance, we utilized the correction and quality indicators provided by QZSS CLAS. Performance analyses included the range domain, dispersive part, non-dispersive part, and satellite orbit/clock part. The residual root mean square (RMS) of CLAS correction for the range domain approximated 0.0369 m, and the residual RMS for both dispersive and non-dispersive components is around 0.0363 m. It has also been confirmed that the residual errors are properly bounded by the integrity parameters. However, the satellite orbit and clock part have a larger residual of about 0.6508 m, and it was confirmed that this residual was not bounded by the integrity parameters. Users who rely solely on satellite orbit and clock correction, particularly maritime users, thus should exercise caution when utilizing QZSS CLAS.

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.
