This paper improves existing 'fly-the-wire' based autonomous station-keeping system, suitable for geostationary satellite and introduces results of computer simulations conducted to verify the algorithm. The on-board stationkeeping system receives pseudo-range signals from two ground equipments located with long baseline, determines the orbit error in realtime and generates orbit control commands. To reduce fuel consumption, this paper proposes an on-board orbit control logic using modified fly-the-wire method. The modified fly-the-wire method de-couples error components into two dynamic modes, harmonic and linear motion. The harmonic error components are removed by applying output commands produced by feedback controller, and the linear motions are controlled by the correction ${\Delta}V\;s$ added to reference maneuvers. The reference maneuvers are generated through the ground based computer simulation and embedded or uploaded into the on-board computer with time tags. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithm is verified through a series of computer simulations.

The Pseudorange Corrections (PRC), which are used in DGPS as calibration messages, can contain outliers, noise, and anomalies, and these abnormal events are unpredictable. When those irregular PRC are used, the positioning error gets higher. In this paper, we propose a strategy of detecting and correcting outliers, noise, and anomalies by modeling the changing pattern of PRC through polynomial curve fitting techniques. To validate our strategy, we compared positioning errors obtained without PRC calibation with those with PRC calibration. As a result, we found that our algorithm performs very well; the horizontal RMS error was 3.84 m before the correction and 1.49 m after the correction.

A maritime DGPS in Korea offers pseudo-range correction information and monitors integrity of correction data by using multiple GNSS receivers. The maritime DGPS reference station and integrity monitor service sets alarm threshold value about integrity monitoring parameters for preventing service interruption status. However there is no way to avoid system interruption according to malfunction of backup systems and outside factors. Therefore, in this paper, warning threshold values were proposed for maritime DGPS operator can be counteract in advance. And Markov analysis method was carried out for selection of these warning threshold values.

A practical recursive linear robust estimation scheme is proposed for target localization in the sensor network which provides range difference of arrival (RDOA) measurements. In order to radically solve the known practical difficulties such as sensitivity for initial guess and heavy computational burden caused by intrinsic nonlinearity of the RDOA based target localization problem, an uncertain linear measurement model is newly derived. In the suggested problem setting, the target localization performance of the conventional linear estimation schemes might be severely degraded under the low SNR condition and be affected by the target position in the sensor network. This motivates us to devise a new sensor network localization algorithm within the framework of the recently developed robust least squares estimation theory. Provided that the statistical information regarding RDOA measurements are available, the estimate of the proposition method shows the convergence in probability to the true target position. Through the computer simulations, the omnidirectional target localization performance and consistency of the proposed algorithm are compared to those of the existing ones. It is shown that the proposed method is more reliable than the total least squares method and the linear correction least squares method.

In this paper, the linearly interpolated PRC(Pseudo Range Correction) regenerating algorithm was applied to improve the DGPS(Differential Global Positioning System) positioning accuracy at user's spot by using the various PRC information obtained from multi-DGPS reference stations. The PRC information of each GPS satellite is not varying rapidly; it is possible to assume that the variation of PRC information of each GPS satellite is linear. So the linearly interpolated PRC regenerating algorithm can be applied to improve the DGPS positioning accuracy at user's spot by using the various PRC information obtained from multi-DGPS reference stations. To test the performance of the linearly interpolated PRC regenerating algorithm, maritime DGPS reference stations' PRC data was used in RTCM format. 11 maritime DGPS reference stations are in service providing DGPS information to public since 1999. Two set of 3 DGPS reference stations are selected to compare the performance of the linearly interpolated PRC regenerating algorithm. The DGPS positioning accuracy was dramatically improved about 40%. Linearly interpolated PRC regenerating algorithm adopted multi-channel DGPS receiver will be developed in near future.

In recent years, the development of GPS navigation system (GNSS), which has been developed not only by US GPS but also by major countries, is entering its final stage. It is time to change the infrastructure and technology system to correct each satellite system. To do this, we analyze the performance of the differential information provided by National Maritime PNT Office for GLONASS currently operating in its normal orbit, and present the its feasibility.

The purpose of this study is to develop precise point positioning (PPP) algorithms based on GLONASS code-pseudorange, verify their performance and present their utility. As the basic correction models of PPP, we applied Inter Frequency Bias (IFB), relativistic effect, satellite antenna phase center offset, and satellite orbit and satellite clock errors, ionospheric errors, and tropospheric errors that must be provided on a real-time basis. The satellite orbit and satellite clock errors provided by Information-Analytical Centre (IAC) are interpolated at each observation epoch by applying the Lagrange polynomial method and linear interpolation method. We applied Global Ionosphere Maps (GIM) provided by International GNSS Service (IGS) for ionospheric errors, and increased the positioning accuracy by applying the true value calculated with GIPSY for tropospheric errors. As a result of testing the developed GLONASS PPP algorithms for four days, the horizontal error was approximately 1.4 ~ 1.5 m and the vertical error was approximately 2.5 ~ 2.8 m, showing that the accuracy is similar to that of GPS PPP.

The international maritime organization(IMO) has defined performance requirements for future maritime navigation through IMO resolution A.915(22) in 2001. Many DGPS systems currently providing DGPS services do not meet the performance requirements specified in IMO resolution A.915(22). The use of SBAS is considered as one of the DGPS replacement and supplementary system for coping with the increase in demand performance and providing safe positioning service. In particular, since a large amount of budget is required to rearrange the existing DGPS reference stations, a method which transmits differential corrections generated by using SBAS message has been proposed. In this paper, we compare and analyze the performance of NDGPS which is operated by the National Maritime PNT Office of the ministry of oceans and fisheries(MOF) in Korea and MSAS in Japan. Also, we verify that SBAS, as alternative and complementary system, meets the performance requirement specified in IMO resolution A.915(22).

The use of DGPS enhances standalone GPS accuracy and removes common errors from two or more receivers viewing the same satellites. The design of DGPS system contains a precise reference point which is able to compute the common errors to update the pseudo range of users receivers. It should take a great time and cost to provide precise and sufficient accuracy of the reference point. That is, it is natural to measure the parameters from satellites with specific survey instrument system, and then obtain that by post processing. The purpose of the study is to examine the bounds of accuracy which resulted from RTCM correction data transmitted from a simply designed DGPS system. In the paper, We design and evaluate the DGPS system based m the surveyed reference point, and Sub-optimal no by a Standalone GPS as well. As a result of the study, it is shown that the designed system may be applied to the specific marine activity in civilian and military.
