Global Navigation Satellite Systems are expected to meet system-defined integrity requirements when users utilize the system for safety critical applications. While the guaranteed integrity performance of GPS and Galileo is publicly available, their integrity assurance procedure and related methodology have not been released to the public in an official document format. This paper summarizes the integrity assurance procedures of Global Positioning System (GPS) and Galileo, which were utilized during their system development, through a literature survey of their integrity assurance methodology. GPS Block II assures system integrity using the following methods: continuous performance monitoring and maintenance on Space Segment (SS) and Control Segment (CS), through a cause and effect analysis of anomalies and a failure analysis. In GPS Block III, to achieve more stringent integrity performance, safety requirements are integrated into the system design and development from its starting phase to the final phase. Galileo's integrity performance is provided in the Integrity Support Message (ISM) format, as Galileo utilizes a Dual Frequency Multi Constellation (DFMC) Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) and Advanced Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (ARAIM) to serve safety critical applications. The integrity performance of Galileo is ensured by using a methodology similar to GPS Block II (i.e. continuous performance monitoring and maintenance on the system). The integrity assurance procedures reviewed in this paper can be utilized for a new satellite navigation system that will be developed in the near future.

GNSS is a satellite-based radio navigation aid. For using it in civil air navigation area, any GNSS service should meet the requirements of accuracy, integrity, continuity and availability in each flight phase established by ICAO. In this study, a remote integrity monitoring system(RIMS) for GNSS are proposed and explained to utilize it in the design of GNSS augmentation system such as GBAS and GRAS. The RIMS consists of signal-in-space receiving subsystem and signal processing subsystem. Each GPS receiver is connected to Host PC by the serial to ethernet converting device which is able to convert serial port connection to LAN port connection in order to exchange information via the internet. We can overcome the siting limitation of GPS receiver and antenna, and reduce signal loses in the cable between GPS antenna and receiver. This system is providing the development environment for GBAS CAT-I system.

this paper, integrity analysis in Korean region using GPS, modernized GPS, Galileo, SBAS and GBAS is given. The simulation results show that Cat. I requirement can be met using modernized GPS and Galileo alone, however, Cat. II and III are not met even augmenting SBAS because of VPL. A more efficient augmentation such as GBAS reduces VPL to meet Cat. II and III requirements in Korean region. This result will be used to design and implement not only an augmentation system but also regional satellite navigation system.

In aviation navigation using GPS, requirements on availability and integrity must be absolutely satisfied. Current study on accomplishing this integrity includes RAIM(Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring), monitoring integrity internaIly in GPS receiver itself. Parity space technique as one of RAIM techniques has shown the advantages in fault detection and isolation due to each use of its magnitude and direction under the assumption of one fault. ln case of multiple fault, as biases in errors interact decreasing the effect of multiple fault in parity space, the exact fault detection and identification(FDI) may be difficult to be conducted. This paper focuses on FDI study on two faults and explains why parity space techniques applied on single fault is not adequate to the application of multiple fault case and shows that extended parity space technique may improve the performance of RAIM on two faults.

In the GPS/INS integrated system fault detection, algorithm based on a chi-square distribution is commonly used. In this paper, it has been proposed simplified GPS/INS fault detection algorithm that is combined conventional RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitor) and algorithm based on chi-square distribution for UAV using row-grade processor. It use a fault model to verify the proposed algorithm and produced the result.

통합항해시스템이라 함은 자동화된 선박의 운용에 관한 것으로, 다양한 항해 센서(GPS, Gyro, Speed Log, echo sounder)를 이용하여 선박의 항해에 필요한 각종 정보를 입수하여 최적의 항로를 설정해주고, 운항의 안정성과 효율을 극대화시키는 시스템을 지칭한다. 즉, 선박의 운항에 필요한 다수의 모듈들을 독립적으로 운용하는 것이 아니라 이를 통합된 형태로 운용하여 효율을 극대화시키는 시스템이 통합항해시스템이라 할 수 있다. 통합항해시스템은 다양한 항해 센서들과 항해 시스템으로 구성되며, 다양한 항해 데이터들은 항해 센서로부터 수신하여 처리하는 동작을 수행한다. 즉, 통합항해시스템은 다수의 센서들로부터 수신된 정보를 평가하고 잠재적 위험과 무결성 저하에 대해서는 적절한 경고를 제공하여야한다. 따라서, 항해센서 데이터의 유효성(Validity) 및 모호성(Plausibility) 검사와 무결성 감시(Integrity Monitoring)는 통합항해시스템의 필수적 기능이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 IEC 61924 규격에 의한 항해센서로부터 수신된 항해데이터가 정확하고 유효함을 가지는 지에 대한 가치평가의 척도와 독립적인 데이터 소스로부터 데이터를 비교하여 검증하는 무결성, 정확도 이내의 정보를 완전하고 명확한 방법으로 사용자에게 제공하는 무결성 감시의 방법을 제시하며, 항해센서들에 의해 취득되는 항해 데이터의 무결성 검사를 통한 유효성, 적용가능성, 무결성의 평가방법을 기술한다.

The integrity monitoring of anomalous GPS signal have been researched because of the degradation of GPS satellite performance. It is known that anomalous GPS signal can occur by failure of GPS satellite, sudden increase of ionosphere delay error, SA, wrong modeling for navigation parameters from control segment, and an electromagnetic wave interference, etc. In case of GPS anomaly by satellites can arise from carrier frequency, code and navigation message. In this paper, the scenarios with navigation message errors were made by using GPS simulator, and the influences of GPS navigation message error to receiver were analysed. The anomalies of preamble, bits related TOW count message, subframe ID in HOW, bits related satellite healthy, and the other navigation message errors were described and simulated. Also, the number of satellites, DOP and pseudorange are analyzed to know how the anomalous signal can affect on GPS receiver.

The importance of the GPS is becoming larger and larger since it is one of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems and is regarded as a national infrastructure in the field positioning and timing Nowadays many researches avoiding and/or minimizing economic loss caused by unexpected fault of the GPS are being carried out because GPS fault can give a large impact on social security system as well as economic system NDGPS network which has been authorized by the Ministry of Marine and Fisheries provides services for marine users and evolved into a national infrastructure for GNSS users. Many researchers and engineers are doing research work in order to apply the NDGPS network to other fields. From this trend, it can be expected that the integrity and related functions for the NDGPS users will become more important than before. This paper analyzes integrity informations about the real GNSS fault and proposes method on integrity monitoring improvement of the DGPS reference station.

Performance analysis on RAIM, which is one of the techniques for monitoring integrity to ensure the reliability of GPS, was conducted in this study. RAIM is such a method which allows its user to monitor integrity in the stand-alone mode. Among the existing RAIM procedures, the representative methods including the RCM (Range Comparison Method), LSRM (Least Square Residual Method), Parity approach and WRAIM (Weighted RAIM) were evaluated, and their performance was analyzed. To validate the performance of the implemented algorithms, fault detection was tried on the clock malfunctioning event of PRN 23 occurred on January 1st, 2004. As a result, it was identified that the LSRM and the WRAIM detected all the faults happened in the event. In the case of RCM, all the states of fault were detected except for the error which occurred as a false alarm at one epoch. Furthermore, simulated biases were added for each satellite to analyze the sensitivity of each algorithm. Consequently, when biases of the 9-13 meters range were simulated for the RCM and LSRM algorithm, all the malfunctions were detected. For the WRAIM method, it could detect range biases greater than 15 meters.
