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.

As GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System) is used in various filed, many countries establish GNSS system independently. But GNSS system has the limitation of accuracy and stability in stand-alone mode, because this system has error elements which are ionospheric delay, tropospheric delay, orbit ephemeris error, satellite clock error, and etc. For overcome of accuracy limitation, the DGPS(Differential GPS) and RTK(Real-Time Kinematic) systems are proposed. These systems perform relative positioning using the reference and user receivers. ETRI(Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute) is developing precision navigation system in point of extension of GNSS usage. The precision navigation system is for providing the precision navigation solution to common users. If this technology is developed, GNSS system can be used in the fields which require precision positioning and control. In this paper, we introduce the precision navigation system and perform design and algorithm verification.

Ionospheric signal delay is a critical factor for precision differential GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite Systems) applications such as GBAS(Ground-Based Augmentation System) and SBAS (Satellite-Based Augmentation System). Most concern is the impact of the ionospheric storm caused by the interaction between Solar and geomagnetic activities. After brief description of the ionosphere and ionospheric storm, ionospheric models for SBAS are discussed. History of recent ionospheric storms is reviewed and their impact on GNSS is discussed. In order to support Korean GNSS augmentation system development, a preliminary study on the regional ionosphere performed. A software tool for computing regional ionospheric maps is being developed, and initial results during a recent storm period is analyzed.

One of the key elements for developing GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) is the comprehensive analysis of GNSS satellite orbit including the capabilities to generate precision navigation message. The orbit characteristics of Japan's own GNSS system, called QZSS (Quasi Zenith Satellite System) is analyzed and its navigation message, which includes orbit elements and correction terms, is investigated. QZSS-type orbit simulations were performed using a precision orbit integrator in order to analyze the effect of perturbation forces, e.g. gravity, Moon, Sun, etc., on the orbit variation. A preliminary algorithm for creating orbit element corrections was developed and its accuracy is evaluated with the simulation data.

오늘날 민간에서 사용 중인 측위 시스템의 대부분은 위성의 신호를 수신하여 현재 위치를 계산하는 글로벌 위성항법 시스템(GNSS; Global Navigation Satellite System)을 기반으로 한다. 미국이 GPS (Global Positioning System)를 통하여 입증한 GNSS의 효용성은 다양한 국가에서 위성항법 시스템을 구축하고 고도화 하도록 이끌었다. 그중 중국은 앞선 IT 기술력과 자금력을 바탕으로 자체 GNSS인 베이더우 위성항법 시스템(BDS; BeiDou Navigation Satellite System)의 급진적인 개발을 성공시켰다. 중국이 빠르게 전 세계로 BDS의 서비스 영역을 확대하고 있는 것을 고려할 때 우리나라에서도 BDS에 대한 체계적인 연구가 요구된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 BDS의 공개 신호인 B1C에 대한 전반적인 정보를 제공하여 B1C 신호 체계 설계 및 BDS B1C 수신기 설계에 활용될 수 있도록 한다.

This investigation primarily focuses on the generational characteristics of satellites utilized in the existing Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Regional Navigation Satellite System (RNSS), with a central emphasis on comparing the operational status of the latest generation satellites. Variations among satellite generations in physical attributes, energy consumption, and timekeeping are observed, enabling an exploration of the developmental trends over successive generations. Through a comparative analysis of the latest generation satellites, particularly in terms of performance, this study aims to furnish essential insights into the satellites employed within each system. Consequently, it will contribute to a foundational understanding of the past, present, and future GNSS satellites.

The accuracy and integrity of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) can be improved by using GNSS augmentation systems. Large ionospheric spatial gradient, during ionosphere storm, is a major threat for using GNSS augmentation systems by increasing the spatial decorrelation between a reference system and users. Ionosphere decorrelation behavior can be analyzed by using dual frequency GPS data. GNSS receivers have their own biases, called inter-frequency bias (IFB) between dual(P1 and P2) frequencies and they must be accurately estimated before computing ionosphere delays. GPS network data in Korea is used to compute each receiver's IFB, and their estimation accuracy and variability are analyzed. IFB estimation methodology to apply for ionosphere gradient analysis is discussed.

새로운 위성항법 시스템 신호를 설계함에 있어 기존에 연구되고 서비스되고 있는 위성항법 시스템과의 간섭영향에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 동일한 대역을 사용하는 GPS, GALILEO, Compass 등 다양한 위성항법 시스템 간에는 스펙트럼이 중첩되는 영향으로 상호 간 간섭이 발생한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 포화되어 진입이 어려운 L1 대역을 배제하고 새로운 위성항법 시스템이 사용할 수 있는 무선항행위성 주파수 대역으로 L2밴드를 선정하였다. 그리고 GPS L2 시스템 신호와 스펙트럼 분할 계수가 가장 작은 BOCcos(15,2.5) 신호를 대입하고, 한반도 상공에 정지한 위성을 가정하여 그 영향을 모의실험을 통해 분석하였다. 그 결과 L1밴드의 다양한 서비스 간의 간섭 영향과 비교해 상호 간 간섭에 의한 수신신호 전력의 감소가 매우 작음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Satellite navigation systems, with the exception of the GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS), adopt ionosphere models and provide ionospheric coefficients to single-frequency users via navigation messages to correct ionospheric delay, the main source of positioning errors. A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) mostly has its own ionospheric models: the Klobuchar model for Global Positioning System (GPS), the NeQuick-G model for Galileo, and the BeiDou Global Ionospheric delay correction Model (BDGIM) for BeiDou satellite navigation System (BDS)-3. On the other hand, a Regional Navigation Satellite System (RNSS) such as the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) and BDS-2 uses the Klobuchar Model rather than developing a new model. QZSS provides its own coefficients that are customized for its service area while BDS-2 slightly modifies the Klobuchar model to improve accuracy in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, BDS broadcasts multiple ionospheric parameters depending on the satellites, unlike other systems. In this paper, we analyzed the different ionospheric models of GPS, QZSS, and BDS in Korea. The ionospheric models of QZSS and BDS-2, which are based in Asia, reduced error by at least 25.6% compared to GPS. However, QZSS was less accurate than GPS during geomagnetic storms or at low latitude. The accuracy of the models according to the BDS satellite orbit was also analyzed. The BDS-2 ionospheric model showed an error reduction of more than 5.9% when using GEO coefficients, while in BDS-3, the difference between satellites was within 0.01 m.

Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) use dual frequency signals to remove ionosphere delay effect. GNSS receivers have their own biases, called inter-frequency bias (IFB) between dual frequencies due to differential signal delays in receiving each frequency codes. The IFB degrades pseudo-range and ionosphere delay accuracies, and they must be accurately estimated. Simultaneous estimation of ionosphere map and IFB is applied in order to analyze the IFB estimation accuracy and variability. GPS network data in Korea is used to compute each receiver's IFB. Accuracy changes due to ionosphere model changes is analyzed and the effect of external GNSS satellite IFB on the receiver IFB is analyzed.
