Japanese MSAS (Multi-functional Satellite Augmentation System) satellites have been transmitting GPS satellite orbit and ionosphere correction information since 2005. MSAS coverage includes Far East Asia, and it can improve the accuracy and integrity of GPS position solutions in Korea. This research analyzed the ionosphere correction information from the MSAS ionosphere correction data. The ionosphere delay data observed by a dual frequency receiver is compared with the MSAS ionosphere correction data. The variation of MSAS GIVE values are analyzed in connection with the equatorial anomaly and ionosphere scintillation.

The Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) improves the accuracy and reliability of user positioning by transmitting the error correction and integrity information of the global navigation satellite system signal from geostationary satellites in real time. For this reason, SBAS was designed for aircraft operations and approach procedures and is now in operational or development stages in many countries. Time has passed since the construction of SBAS and many changes have occurred in the composition of the monitoring stations and the geostationary satellites. These changes have been investigated and the current operation and development status of SBAS globally are surveyed. The development and test schedules for the transition to dual frequency multi-constellation, an important topic in SBAS, are discussed.

이 논문은 위성항법시스템의 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 GNSS 기반의 RF 수신단과 고정밀 측위 아키텍처 그리고 고감도 측위 아키텍처를 제안하였다. GNSS 기반의 RF 수신단 모델은 기존 GPS와 향후 사용되어질 갈릴레오의 항법정보데이터를 동시에 수신할 수 있는 구조를 가져야 한다. 따라서 GPS의 L1대역인 1575.42MHz와 갈릴레오의 El대역인 1575.42MHz, E5A대역인 1207.1MHz 그리고 E5B대역인 1176.45MHz를 동시에 수신할 수 있는 다중 밴드로 구성하였다. 고정밀 측위 아키텍처는 기존 상관기 구조가 가지고 있는 Early코드, Prompt코드, Late코드를 사용하는 1/2칩 이격 구조가 아닌 Early_early코드, Early_late코드, Prompt코드, Late_early코드, Late_late 코드 구조의 상관기를 제안하였다. 이렇듯 1/4칩 이격의 상관기 구조를 제안하여, 위성항법시스템으로부터 송신되는 신호의 부정확성으로 인해 생기는 C/A코드와의 동기 문제를 해결하였다. C/A코드와의 동기 문제는 차량용 항법시스템의 동기 획득 지연 시간 문제가 발생되어, 수신기의 성능 저하를 가져온다. 다음으로 고감도 측위 아키텍처는 20개의 코럴레이터(correlator)를 사용하여 비대칭 구조로 설계하여 수신 증폭률을 최대화하고, 잡음을 최소화하여 수신율을 향상시키도록 하였다. 위성항법시스템은 동일한 C/A코드를 20번 반복하여 전송한다. 따라서 동일한 C/A코드를 모두 사용할 수 있는 구조를 제안하였고, 적응형 구조를 가지고 있어, 주변 환경에 따라 코럴레이터의 수를 제한할 수 있어, 불필요한 시스템의 동작 지연 시간을 줄일 수 있다. 이러한 구조의 사용으로 동기 획득 지연 시간을 줄일 수 있고, 동기 추적의 연속성을 보장할 수 있다. 이는 위성항법시스템의 수신기 성능을 향상시키는 결과를 가져온다.

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.

In emergency rescue situations, the localization accuracy of the rescue requestor is a very important factor in determining the success or failure of the rescue. Indoors where Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is not operated, there is no choice but to use Wi-Fi or LTE signals. However, the performance of the current emergency rescue system utilizing those RF signals is exceedingly low. In this study, the effectiveness of the surface correlation technology using the accumulated signal pattern of RF signals was verified in relation to the emergency localization technology. To validate the proposed system, we configured and tested an emergency rescue scenario in multi-floors building. When the emergency rescue was requested, it was confirmed that the initial localization error was large owing to the short length of the accumulated signal pattern. However, the localization error decreased over time, which eventually led to the accurate location information being delivered to the rescuer.

This study presents the generation and accuracy assessment of predicted orbital ephemeris based on satellite laser ranging (SLR) for geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) satellites. Two GEO satellites are considered: GEO-Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite (KOMPSAT)-2B (GK-2B) for simulational validation and Compass-G1 for real-world quality assessment. SLR-based orbit determination (OD) is proactively performed to generate orbital ephemeris. The length and the gap of the predicted orbital ephemeris were set by considering the consolidated prediction format (CPF). The resultant predicted ephemeris of GK-2B is directly compared with a pre-specified true orbit to show 17.461 m and 23.978 m, in 3D root-mean-square (RMS) position error and maximum position error for one day, respectively. The predicted ephemeris of Compass-G1 is overlapped with the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) final orbit from the GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ) analysis center (AC) to yield 36.760 m in 3D RMS position differences. It is also compared with the CPF orbit from the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) to present 109.888 m in 3D RMS position differences. These results imply that SLR-based orbital ephemeris can be an alternative candidate for improving the accuracy of commonly used radar-based orbital ephemeris for GEO satellites.

A Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) provides differential correction and integrity information through geostationary satellite to users in order to reduce Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-related errors such as ionospheric delay and tropospheric delay, and satellite orbit and clock errors and calculate a protection level of the calculated location. A SBAS is a system, which has been set as an international standard by the International Civilian Aviation Organization (ICAO) to be utilized for safe operation of aircrafts. Currently, the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) in the USA, the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) in Europe, MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS) in Japan, and GPS-Aided Geo Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) are operated. The System for Differential Correction and Monitoring (SDCM) in Russia is now under construction and testing. All SBASs that are currently under operation including the WAAS in the USA provide correction and integrity information about the Global Positioning System (GPS) whereas the SDCM in Russia that started SBAS-related test services in Russia in recent years provides correction and integrity information about not only the GPS but also the GLONASS. Currently, LUCH-5A(PRN 140), LUCH-5B(PRN 125), and LUCH-5V(PRN 141) are assigned and used as geostationary satellites for the SDCM. Among them, PRN 140 satellite is now broadcasting SBAS test messages for SDCM test services. In particular, since messages broadcast by PRN 140 satellite are received in Korea as well, performance analysis on GPS/GLONASS Multi-Constellation SBAS using the SDCM can be possible. The present paper generated correction and integrity information about GPS and GLONASS using SDCM messages broadcast by the PRN 140 satellite, and performed analysis on GPS/GLONASS Multi-Constellation SBAS performance and APV-I availability by applying GPS and GLONASS observation data received from multiple reference stations, which were operated in the National Geographic Information Institute (NGII) for performance analysis on GPS/GLONASS Multi-Constellation SBAS according to user locations inside South Korea utilizing the above-calculated information.

러시아는 자국 내 위성기반 보강시스템의 서비스 제공을 위하여 최근 정지궤도 위성을 통하여 SDCM 신호를 송출하기 시작하였다. SDCM용 정지궤도 위성인 LUCH-5A와 LUCH-5B의 영향권에 포함되어 있는 한반도에서도 현재 테스트 중인 PRN (pseudo random number) 140번 메시지가 수신되고 있어 국내 SDCM의 적용 및 그 성능 분석이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 수신된 SDCM 메시지를 남한 지역의 최북단에 위치한 국토지리정보원 철원 기준국에 적용하였고, 이를 통해 수평 0.8749 m, 수직 0.9589 m (RMS)으로 그 성능이 크게 향상됨을 확인하였다. 또한 GPS와 GLONASS를 동시에 보강하는 SDCM의 특성을 반영하여 분석한 결과, 다중 위성군의 SBAS가 GPS 단독 SBAS에 비해 보호수준은 약 30 % 감소시킴으로써, APV-I 가용성 증대에 기여함을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 다중 위성군의 SBAS가 국내 개발될 KASS 시스템의 성능 향상에 기여할 수 있음을 예측할 수 있다.
