Abstract
Currently, high-precision GNSS receivers are expensive and the cost of using them in mobile communication networks is extremely high. To reduce the construction cost of positioning and timing capabilities in mobile communication networks, the existing ordinary GNSS receivers in the network are used to form a self-differential enhanced iterative network to achieve high-precision positioning in local areas.Based on high-precision positioning, various delay errors in the current 1PPS second pulse are corrected by differential information data to solve the precise time of the local clock, thereby improving timing accuracy. In engineering applications, the self-differential enhanced iterative network algorithm is used to make embedded improvements to the antenna parameter sensor commonly used in mobile communication networks. The improved antenna parameter sensor has obtained high-precision positioning and timing functions based on the original attitude and direction measurement functions. Its positioning accuracy can reach millimeter level, and the timing accuracy can reach 20 nanoseconds.
期刊介绍:
Microprocessors and Microsystems: Embedded Hardware Design (MICPRO) is a journal covering all design and architectural aspects related to embedded systems hardware. This includes different embedded system hardware platforms ranging from custom hardware via reconfigurable systems and application specific processors to general purpose embedded processors. Special emphasis is put on novel complex embedded architectures, such as systems on chip (SoC), systems on a programmable/reconfigurable chip (SoPC) and multi-processor systems on a chip (MPSoC), as well as, their memory and communication methods and structures, such as network-on-chip (NoC).
Design automation of such systems including methodologies, techniques, flows and tools for their design, as well as, novel designs of hardware components fall within the scope of this journal. Novel cyber-physical applications that use embedded systems are also central in this journal. While software is not in the main focus of this journal, methods of hardware/software co-design, as well as, application restructuring and mapping to embedded hardware platforms, that consider interplay between software and hardware components with emphasis on hardware, are also in the journal scope.
