Due to inaccurate safe navigation estimates, maritime accidents have been occurring consistently. In order to solve this, the precise positioning technology using carrier phase information is used, but due to high buildings near inland waterways or inclination, satellite signals might become weak or blocked for some time. Under this weak signal environment for some time, the GPS raw measurements become less accurate so that it is difficult to search and maintain the integer ambiguity of carrier phase. In this paper, a method to generate code and carrier phase measurements under this environment and maintain resilient navigation is proposed. In the weak signal environment, the position of the receiver is estimated using an inertial sensor, and with this information, the distance between the satellite and the receiver is calculated to generate code measurements using IGS product and model. And, the carrier phase measurements are generated based on the statistics for generating fractional phase. In order to verify the performance of the proposed method, the proposed method was compared for a fixed blocked time. It was confirmed that in case of a weak or blocked satellite signals for 1 to 5 minutes, the proposed method showed more improved results than the inertial navigation only, maintaining stable positioning accuracy within 1 m.

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) based precise positioning using Real Time Kinematic (RTK) technique has been proposed as an enabler of the formation operation of moving vehicles. In RTK methods, the integer ambiguity of GNSS carrier phase measurements must be resolved. Although there have been many proposed algorithms for the integer ambiguity resolution, the widelane combination of carrier phase measurements and LAMBDA methods have gained the most popularity in literatures when dual frequency GNSS measurements were used. In this paper, we evaluated five alternative methods to determine relative positions of moving base and rover receivers; the round-off scheme of widelane carrier phase, instant least-squares and Kalman filter-based LAMBDA with widelane carrier phase, instant least-squares and Kalman filter-based LAMBDA with dual frequency measurements. The paper presented the performance of each method using flight test data, which showed their strength and weakness in the aspects of time-to-first-fix, ambiguity resolution success ratio, and relative position errors. Based on that, we provided practical recommendations of RTK operations for moving vehicles.

본 논문에서는 저비용 단일 GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System) 수신기를 이용하여 정밀한 위치를 추정하는 방법으로 반송파 위상 TD(Time Differenced) 측정치를 이용한 상대위치 결정기법을 제안하고 성능을 분석하였다. 제안하는 상대위치 결정기법은 반송파 위상 측정치를 활용하지만 시각 간 차분을 사용하므로 하나의 GNSS 수신기로 동작하며, 미지정수 결정 문제를 고려하지 않아도 된다. 또한 차분 간격이 짧은 시간일 경우 공간적 공통오차 및 위성시계 오차를 효율적으로 제거할 수 있다. 제안하는 위치결정 알고리즘은 오차해석을 통해 코드측정치를 이용한 절대위치 결정기법보다 성능이 우수함을 증명하고 실차 실험으로 구현된 알고리즘 및 오차해석 결과를 검증하였다. 그 결과, 위치추정 성능은 약 10분 동안 3m이내에 수렴하여 코드기반의 절대위치기법에 비하여 약 4배 이상 향상된 정확도 및 정밀도를 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, the carrier acceleration-ramp-step test was applied to GPS carrier phase measurements, and the results were compared and analyzed. In the carrier acceleration-ramp-step test, the acceleration, ramp, and measurements are estimated using 10 consecutive carrier phase measurements for satellites observed at the same time based on the least square method. As for the characteristic of this test, if failure occurs in the measurement, the value jumps significantly compared to the previous result; but it judges that failure has occurred in all the satellites although failure has occurred in one satellite. Therefore, in this study, a method that eliminates a satellite with failure was suggested, and thresholds of the carrier acceleration, ramp, and step were suggested. The evaluation of the failure detection performance of carrier phase measurement using the suggested thresholds showed that failure could be detected when the carrier phase measurement changed abruptly by more than about 0.1 cycles.

In this study, a carrier smoothed global positioning system / dead reckoning (CSGPS/DR) integrated system for high-precision trajectory estimation for the purpose of vehicle navigation was proposed. Existing code-based GPS has a low position accuracy, and carrier-phase differential global positioning system (CPDGPS) has a long waiting time for high-precision positioning and has a problem of high cost due to the establishment of infrastructure. To resolve this, the continuity of a trajectory was guaranteed by integrating CSGPS and DR. The results of the experiment indicated that the trajectory precision of the code-based GPS showed an error performance of more than 30cm, while that of the CSGPS/DR integrated system showed an error performance of less than 10cm. Based on this, it was found that the trajectory precision of the proposed CSGPS/DR integrated system is superior to that of the code-based GPS.

일반적으로 단일기준국을 이용하는 실시간 동적(Real Time Kinematic) GPS는 무선모뎀을 통해 반송파 오차보정량을 이동국으로 전송하여 현장에서 바로 고정밀의 위치를 결정할 수 있다. 하지만 단일기준국 방식은 각 위성마다의 시간대별 반송파 측정값을 지속적으로 제공해야 하며, 전송장해와 모뎀간의 거리 따른 증가 등으로 위치정확도가 저하되는 단점이 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 3대 이상의 다중기준국을 활용한 네트워크 기반의 GPS 반송파 상대측위기술을 구현하였으며, Visual C++로 제작된 실시간 모니터링 프로그램을 이용하여 RTK 네트워크를 구성하였다. 네트워크 구성에서 얻어지는 다중기준국의 오차보정량 가운데 최적의 값을 자동으로 선택하고, GPS buoy 이동국에 적용하여 해수면 관측을 수행하였으며, 이를 통해 얻어진 해수면 변동량을 단일기준국과 비교, 분석하여 결과를 도출하였다.

The Centimeter Level Augmentation Service (CLAS) is the Precise Point Positioning (PPP) - Real Time Kinematic (RTK) correction service utilizing the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) L6 (1278.65 MHz) signal to broadcast the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) error corrections. Compact State-Space Representation (CSSR) corrections for mitigating GNSS measurement error sources such as satellite orbit, clock, code and phase biases, tropospheric error, ionospheric error are estimated from the ground segment of QZSS CLAS using the code and carrier-phase measurements collected in the Japan's GNSS Earth Observation Network (GEONET). Since the CLAS service begun on November 1, 2018, users with dedicated receivers can perform cm-level precise positioning using CSSR corrections. In this paper, CLAS-based VRS-RTK performance evaluation was performed using Global Positioning System (GPS) observables collected from the refence station, TSK2, located in Japan. As a result of performing GPS-only RTK positioning using the open-source software CLASLIB and RTKLIB, it took about 15 minutes to resolve the carrier-phase ambiguities, and the RTK fix rate was only about 41%. Also, the Root Mean Squares (RMS) values of position errors (fixed only) are about 4cm horizontally and 7 cm vertically.

GPS의 3차원 위치결정은 코드파와 반송파를 이용한다. 하지만 이동체에 대한 cm 수준의 정확도를 획득하기 위해서는 정확한 기지점의 성과를 이용한 GPS 반송파 상대측위, 즉 RTK-GPS 기법을 수행하여야 한다. 이 때 두 대의 수신기 사이의 거리가 증가할수록 기선장에 따른 오차가 증가하여 기준국과 사용자 수신기의 거리를 $10{\sim}20km$ 정도로 제한하고 있다. 따라서 사용자는 깊은 내륙, 연안 해역 등과 같은 기준국과 이동체의 이격이 수십 km로 증대되는 지역에서는 기준국 설치의 문제를 포함하고 있으며 독자적인 기준국을 설치하여야 하는 인력 및 장비의 부담을 가지게 된다. 이를 극복하기 위해 본 연구에서는 네트워크 기반의 GPS 반송파 상대측위 방식을 제안하였으며 GPS 네트워크 처리 프로그램인 DAUNet을 개발하였다. 기선장에 따른 오차보정량 산출을 위해 선형보간알고리즘 방식에 기반한 함수모델과 통계모델을 제시하였으며, 오차보정량의 보간은 면보정매개변수 방식을 제안하였다. 기존 단일기준국 방식은 기선장에 따른 오차를 소거하지 못하였지만 본 연구에서는 사용자 수신기와 평균 30km 떨어진 3대의 기준국을 이용하여 기선장에 따른 오차보정량을 소거 혹은 감소시킬 수 있었다. 따라서 사용자는 네트워크 기반의 GPS 반송파 상대측위 방식을 이용하여 이동체에 대한 10cm 이하 수준의 정확도를 획득할 수 있었다.

In this paper, a structure of precise positioning based on satellite navigation system is proposed. The proposed system is consisted with three parts, range domain filter, navigation filter and position domain filter. The range domain filter generates carrier phase-smoothed-Doppler and Doppler-smoothed-code measurements. And the navigation filter calculates position and velocity using double-differenced code/carrier phase/Doppler measurements. Finally, position domain filter smooth position error, and it means enhancement of positioning performance. The proposed positioning method is evaluated by trajectory analysis using precise map date. As a result, the position error occurred by multipath or cycle slip was reduced and the calculated trajectory was in true lane.
