A major challenge is to differentiate an oscillator anomaly from ionospheric scintillation. Although both scintillation and oscillator anomalies cause phase disturbances, their underlying physics are different and, therefore, show different carrier-frequency dependency. By using triple-frequency signals, distinct features are extracted from the disturbed signals and applied to the radial basis function (RBF) support vector machine (SVM) classifier to identify an oscillator anomaly. The results show that the proposed RBF SVM displays superior performance and outperforms several other classification methods. The proposed approach is applied to an extensive GNSS database to conduct automatic satellite oscillator anomaly detection. Preliminary detection results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. On average, one-to-three satellite oscillator anomaly events are detected daily at each receiver location.","PeriodicalId":30601,"journal":{"name":"Annual of Navigation","volume":"67 1","pages":"651-662"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/navi.385","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42257943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wireless synchronization methods are desirable for their flexibility in system deployment, and most of them build a tree topology of time information flow based on master-slave synchronization between pseudolites. A slave pseudolite can receive signals broadcast by multiple pseudolites; however, existing methods usually utilize one signal and ignore others in which the time information could improve synchronization precision and reliability. We present a mesh topology based clock synchronization (MTCS) technique by utilizing all received signals. MTCS builds a mesh topology of time information flow, which can keep synchronization in case of link interruption or pseudolite failure. The coupling relationship of slave clocks is derived, and the influence of measurement biases is analyzed. As shown by both analysis and simulations, MTCS has better clock synchronization precision. When link interruption or pseudolite failures occur, MTCS is more robust than tree topology based methods.","PeriodicalId":30601,"journal":{"name":"Annual of Navigation","volume":"67 1","pages":"619-632"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/navi.383","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48056265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research aims to improve navigation in these environments by integrating non-line-of-sight signals, building models, and measured signal to noise ratios in ways not typically used in GNSS positioning. We propose a technique of combining elements of shadow matching, non-line-of-sight signal prediction through ray tracing, and collaborative navigation. A specularity metric is developed, which predicts the likelihood of building reflections resulting in non-line-of-sight signal reception, and is used in conjunction with shadow matching techniques to improve positioning. A framework for implementing these approaches is presented and demonstrated using improved positioning techniques built and tested using real-world data collected in urban surroundings.","PeriodicalId":30601,"journal":{"name":"Annual of Navigation","volume":"67 1","pages":"547-566"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/navi.378","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46710444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multipath errors in the L5 and S1 pseudoranges are different; hence, oscillatory multipath is removed using sidereal repeatability for these frequencies separately for accurate iono delay estimation. Iono delay estimates using uncompensated pseudoranges are 7-m greater than the normal night time estimates due to multipath. When oscillations are removed, the difference reduces to =3 m. Dual-frequency iono delay estimates using code phase are within two-sigma of the grid-based estimates. A comparison with the NTCM-GL and Klobuchar iono delay estimates is presented for the low-latitude region in India. The ephemeris line-of-sight errors blended with the unknown multipath bias errors are estimated using a low-pass filter and are found to lie at the edges of the two-sigma signal-in-space error.","PeriodicalId":30601,"journal":{"name":"Annual of Navigation","volume":"67 1","pages":"347-364"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/navi.355","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44928978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike conventional “snapshot” ARAIM, sequential ARAIM exploits changes in satellite geometry at the cost of slightly higher computation and memory loads. From the perspective of users on Earth, the motion of any given GNSS satellite is small over short time intervals. But the accumulated geometry variations of redundant satellites from multiple GNSS can be substantial. This paper quantifies performance benefits brought by satellite motion to ARAIM. It specifically addresses the following challenges: (a) defining raw GNSS code and carrier error models over time, (b) designing estimators and fault detectors exploiting geometric diversity for positioning, cycle ambiguity estimation, and integrity evaluation, and (c) formulating these algorithms in a computationally efficient implementation. Performance improvements provided by sequential ARAIM over snapshot ARAIM are evaluated by worldwide availability analysis for aircraft approach navigation.","PeriodicalId":30601,"journal":{"name":"Annual of Navigation","volume":"67 1","pages":"235-253"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/navi.334","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48087466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To the authors’ knowledge, the CASSIOPE mission is the first space mission that provides dual-frequency observations for attitude determination. The data has been analyzed with a GPS attitude determination algorithm originally developed for the analysis of data from the “Flying Laptop” mission. The GPS-based solution for selected attitude maneuvers is compared to a reference orientation provided by the satellite’s star sensors. Furthermore, an analysis of the typical time-to-first-fix (TTFF) of attitude solution is provided.
