SBAS(Satellite Based Augmentation System) 시스템에서는 GNSS 사용자들의 위치 정확도 향상을 위해 위성궤도 및 시계보정정보를 제공하고 있는데, 본 논문에서는 이러한 보정정보의 정확도에 대해 분석하였다. IGS(International GNSS Service)에서 제공하는 GPS 위성의 정밀궤도력을 참값으로 가정하고, 그에 대한 오차를 이용하여 정확도를 분석/수행하였다. 이때 IGS 정밀궤도력과의 정확한 비교를 위해 GPS 위성에 대한 안테나 위상중심 편차와 P1-C1 편이를 고려하였다. SBAS 위성궤도 및 시계보정 정보로는 미국의 WAAS와 일본의 MSAS 보정정보를 이용하였다. 정확도 분석을 통해 SBAS에서 제공하는 위성궤도 보정정보와 위성시계 보정정보가 상당한 상관관계를 가지고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 보정정보의 정확도는 SBAS 시스템의 지상 네트워크 크기와 위성의 궤적에 영향을 받는 것을 확인하였다.

The characteristics of the SBAS satellite orbit and clock corrections are highly affected by the narrow network size in the Korean peninsula, which is expected to have an important role in the future dual frequency SBAS. The correlation between satellite corrections can be analyzed in terms of the spatial decorrelation effect which should be analyzed to keep the service area as wide as possible. In this paper, the characteristics of satellite error corrections for the potential Korean dual frequency SBAS were analyzed, and an optimal filter design approach is proposed to maximize the service area.

The State Space Representation (SSR) method provides individual corrections for each Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) error components. This method can lead to less bandwidth for transmission and allows selective use of each correction. Precise Point Positioning (PPP) - Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) is one of the carrier-based precise positioning techniques using SSR correction. This technique enables high-precision positioning with a fast convergence time by providing atmospheric correction as well as satellite orbit and clock correction. Currently, the positioning service that supports PPP-RTK technology is the Quazi-Zenith Satellite System Centimeter Level Augmentation System (QZSS CLAS) in Japan. A system that provides correction for each GNSS error component, such as QZSS CLAS, requires monitoring of each error component to provide reliable correction and integrity information to the user. In this study, we conducted an analysis of the performance of residual error bounding for each error component. To assess this performance, we utilized the correction and quality indicators provided by QZSS CLAS. Performance analyses included the range domain, dispersive part, non-dispersive part, and satellite orbit/clock part. The residual root mean square (RMS) of CLAS correction for the range domain approximated 0.0369 m, and the residual RMS for both dispersive and non-dispersive components is around 0.0363 m. It has also been confirmed that the residual errors are properly bounded by the integrity parameters. However, the satellite orbit and clock part have a larger residual of about 0.6508 m, and it was confirmed that this residual was not bounded by the integrity parameters. Users who rely solely on satellite orbit and clock correction, particularly maritime users, thus should exercise caution when utilizing QZSS CLAS.

Fields of high-precision positioning applications are growing fast across the mass market worldwide. Accordingly, the industry is focusing on developing methods of applying State-Space Representation (SSR) corrections on low-cost GNSS receivers. Among SSR correction types, this paper analyzes Safe Position Augmentation for Real Time Navigation (SPARTN) messages being offered by the SAfe and Precise CORrection DAta (SAPCORDA) company and validates positioning algorithms based on them. The first part of this paper introduces the SPARTN format in detail. Then, procedures on how to apply Basic-Precision Atmosphere Correction (BPAC) and High-Precision Atmosphere Correction (HPAC) messages are described. BPAC and HPAC messages are used for correcting satellite clock errors, satellite orbit errors, satellite signal biases and also ionospheric and tropospheric delays. Accuracies of positioning algorithms utilizing SPARTN messages were validated with two types of positioning strategies: Code-PPP using GPS pseudorange measurements and PPP-RTK including carrier phase measurements. In these performance checkups, only single-frequency measurements have been used and integer ambiguities were estimated as float numbers instead of fixed integers. The result shows that, with BPAC and HPAC corrections, the horizontal accuracy is 46% and 63% higher, respectively, compared to that obtained without application of SPARTN corrections. Also, the average horizontal and vertical RMSE values with HPAC are 17 cm and 27 cm, respectively.

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.

Precise Point Positioning-Real Time Kinematic (PPP-RTK) is an improved PPP method that provides the user receiver with satellite code and phase bias correction information in addition to the satellite orbit and clock, thus enabling single-receiver ambiguity resolution. Single station PPP-RTK concept is special case of PPP-RTK in that corrections are computed, instead of a network, by only one single GNSS receiver. This study is performed to experimentally verify the positioning accuracy performance of single baseline RTK level by a user who utilizes correction for a single station PPP-RTK using dual frequencies. As an experimental result, the horizontal and vertical 95% accuracy was 2.2 cm, 4.4 cm, respectively, which verify the same performance as the single baseline RTK.

사용자 위치 추정 시 위성 궤도는 GPS에서 송신하는 방송궤도력을 주로 이용하는데, 이를 이용할 경우 수 미터의 오차를 유발하기 때문에 높은 정확도가 필요한 분야에서는 사용할 수 없다. 오차를 유발하는 요소 중 위성 궤도와 시계에 의한 오차는 IGS에서 제공하는 RTS (real-time service)로 보정할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 3개월간 방송궤도력과 RTS 보정정보의 궤도 및 시계 정확도를 분석하였다. IGS final을 기준으로 단일 위성과 전체 위성의 3개월간 궤도 및 시계 오차 분석을 수행하였으며, 사용자의 위치와 위성의 종류에 따른 오차 변화도 분석하였다. 그림자 조건, 태양활동, 지자기활동과 오차들과의 상관관계도 분석하였다. 보정정보에 지연시간을 적용하고 이를 다항식으로 모델링한 후 외삽하여 실제 RTS 보정정보와 궤도 및 시계정확도를 비교하였다. 방송궤도력과 RTS 보정정보가 적용된 방송궤도력으로 데이터로 PPP를 수행하고 1일 위치 추정성능을 분석하였다. 그 결과 RTS 적용 시 3D 궤도오차와 시계 오차는 방송궤도력의 1/20, 1/3 수준이었으며, 위치해의 3D 오차는 방송궤도력의 1/5 수준으로 나타났다.

In this paper, we overview the system development status of the national maritime precise point positioning-real-time kinematic (PPP-RTK) service in Korea, also known as the Precise POsitioning and INTegrity monitoring (POINT) system. The development of the POINT service began in 2020, and the open service is scheduled to start in 2025. The architecture of the POINT system is composed of three provider-side facilities-a reference station, monitoring station, and central control station-and one user-side receiver platform. Here, we propose the detailed functionality of each component considering unidirectional broadcasting of augmentation data. To meet the centimeter-level user positioning accuracy in maritime coverage, new reference stations were installed. Each reference station operates with a dual receiver and dual antenna to reduce the risk of malfunctioning, which can deteriorate the availability of the POINT service. The initial experimental results of a testbed from corrections generated from the testbed network, including newly installed reference stations, are presented. The results show that the horizontal and vertical accuracies satisfy 2.63 cm and 5.77 cm, respectively. For the purpose of (near) real-time broadcasting of POINT correction data, we designed a correction message format including satellite orbit, satellite clock, satellite signal bias, ionospheric delay, tropospheric delay, and coordinate transformation parameters. The (near) real-time experimental setup utilizing (near) real-time processing of testbed network data and the designed message format are proposed for future testing and verification of the system.

SBAS는 실시간으로 사용자에게 GNSS 궤도 및 시계, 전리층 보정정보와 이에 대한 무결성정보를 제공하여 SBAS 사용 시 정밀한 위치추정이 가능하다. 각 국의 SBAS 개발 및 추가 지상관측소 설치로 SBAS 서비스 영역이 확대됨에 따라 2개의 SBAS 서비스 영역이 겹쳐 다중 SBAS 신호가 수신되는 영역이 존재하는데, 이에 대한 신호 선택 방법에 관한 연구는 진행되지 않았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 WAAS와 EGNOS 정보가 동시에 전송되는 영역에서 WAAS 정보 우선 사용 방법, EGNOS 정보 우선 사용 방법, 그리고 보정정보 오차 공분산 비교 선택 방법을 사용하여 저궤도위성에 SBAS 정보를 적용한 후 위치추정 결과를 비교하였다. WAAS 정보를 우선으로 사용할 때 3D 위치오차는 2.57 m로 가장 작았으며, 오차 공분산 비교 방법을 사용했을 경우에는 WAAS와 EGNOS의 관측소와 가장 먼 중첩 영역 중심에서 위치추정 정확도가 가장 높았다. EGNOS 정보를 우선 사용 시 중첩 영역의 EGNOS와 가까운 동쪽 지역에서 WAAS 우선 사용 방법보다 위치오차가 8% 더 작았다.
