Abstract

Maintaining robust tracking and positioning integrity in harsh environments is a real challenge for GNSS receivers. This paper considers three possible tracking and navigation solutions to address this challenge. Firstly, a vector tracking loop (VTL) capable of using correlator-based multipath detectors and other signal quality indicators to exclude contaminated satellites from the PVT calculation is proposed. Secondly, an adaptive scalar-vector tracking loop (STL-VTL) that continuously switches between STL and VTL modes based on the state of signal quality indicators is considered. Lastly, a conjoint scalar-vector tracking scheme which maintains STL and VTL modes simultaneously then chooses the measurements to be fed to the navigator based on the state of quality indicators is suggested. To evaluate the performance of the proposed solutions, the trajectory and environment simulator developed by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is used to simulate GPS signals in harsh suburban and urban conditions. The exclusion of multipath contaminated satellites from PVT calculation improves PVT accuracy and tracking performance. The adaptive and conjoint STL-VTL schemes allow, each in its way, to exploit the advantages of both STL and VTL regarding positioning reliability and tracking robustness.
基于自适应和联合标量矢量跟踪环的GNSS跟踪鲁棒性和定位完整性
在恶劣环境中保持稳健的跟踪和定位完整性是GNSS接收机面临的真正挑战。本文考虑了三种可能的跟踪和导航解决方案来应对这一挑战。首先,提出了一种矢量跟踪环路(VTL),该环路能够利用基于相关器的多径检测器和其他信号质量指标将污染卫星排除在PVT计算之外。其次,考虑了一种基于信号质量指标状态在STL和VTL模式之间不断切换的自适应标量矢量跟踪环路(STL-VTL)。最后,提出了一种同时保持STL和VTL模式的标量矢量联合跟踪方案,并根据质量指标的状态选择将测量值馈送给导航器。为了评估所提出的解决方案的性能,使用德国航空航天中心(DLR)开发的轨迹和环境模拟器来模拟郊区和城市恶劣条件下的GPS信号。将多径污染卫星排除在PVT计算之外,提高了PVT的精度和跟踪性能。自适应和联合的STL-VTL方案允许,以各自的方式,利用STL和VTL在定位可靠性和跟踪鲁棒性方面的优势。
