The ionosphere scintillation phenomenon is one of the major concerns that threaten these continuity requirements. It results in amplitude, phase and frequency fluctuations of Radio Frequency (RF) signals traveling through space and piercing the ionosphere, hundreds of Km of altitude, where turbulent ionized gases or plasma that stem from solar winds modify the characteristics of electromagnetic signals. The objective of this paper is to study the impact of extending the coherent integration interval used in GNSS scalar tracking loops, in terms of maintaining tracking or synchronization of the European GNSS Galileo E1 Open Service (OS) signals. For that end, a first order optimum loop filter is designed in the digital domain, optimal in minimizing both transient energy and thermal noise tracking jitter. Moreover, a theoretical study of its stability and degree of stability is carried out through root locus and Bode plots. Its performance is also compared to that of traditional analog loop filters often used in literature. Carrier and code tracking loops using this optimum digital loop filter are tested on simulated weak Galileo signals as well as simulated scintillation affected signals. Fast and slow amplitude, phase scintillation are first considered separately to understand the mechanisms of each variable (amplitude/phase), and then both fluctuations are incorporated onto the simulated Galileo signal.","PeriodicalId":371808,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE/ION Position, Location and Navigation Symposium - PLANS 2014","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115405847","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}

However, this can be achieved only if the portable device is kept in a fixed orientation, which is unrealistic and inconvenient for the user. In unconstrained portable navigation, the mobile device orientation can be freely changed with respect to the human body without any constraints. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to estimate or enhance the heading misalignment angle between one or more smart device(s) and/or wearable appcessories and the moving platform (person or vehicle). An accurate estimation for heading misalignment angle enables users to change their devices' orientation freely with respect to their bodies without any constraint. Different test scenarios are conducted to assess the performance of the proposed technique including different use cases. The results clearly demonstrated the efficacy of the proposed technique in enabling real-time, continuous and reliable consumer localization indoors and outdoors with mobile device.","PeriodicalId":371808,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE/ION Position, Location and Navigation Symposium - PLANS 2014","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116885188","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}

{"title":"Augmented positioning with CORSs network services using GNSS mass-market receivers","authors":"A. Cina, P. Dabove, A. Manzino, M. Piras","doi":"10.1109/PLANS.2014.6851393","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/PLANS.2014.6851393","url":null,"abstract":"Over the last twenty years, positioning with low cost GNSS sensors has become widespread worldwide at both commercial and academic level. The Geomatics Research Group of DIATI at the Politecnico di Torino has carried out several experiments in order to evaluate the precision achievable when using mass-market GNSS receivers with a network of permanent GNSS station (also called CORSs network - Continuous Operating Reference Stations) for various purposes. The aim of this study is to investigate real effect and the role of the CORSs Network for this type of receivers, and especially how the products generated by the CORSs network can be used to improve the level of accuracy and precision if mass-market receivers are considered. The rapid development and diffusion of the GNSS network which provides a positioning service has enabled us to use single frequency receivers both in post-processing and real time approach by means of virtual RINEX and differential corrections. In the first approach, in order to determine the possible level of accuracy and precision obtainable with this sensor, a special test field was carried out which enabled us to study the variation of position with millimetrical accuracy. Tests were carried out considering various types of receivers (geodetic and mass market) and antennas (patch and geodetic) in static mode. The static test was carried out by acquiring raw data for 24 hours and dividing them into small parts (5, 10 or 15 minutes each), in order to consider the effect of the acquisition time on the final results and also consider the complete constellation. The postprocessing was performed with a commercial software. An interesting advantage is the possibility of generating a VR close to the rover position especially when mass market sensors are used, with the aim of creating a short (few meters) baseline, or in extreme cases it is possible to realize a null baseline thus eliminating the bias with the double differences in a relative positioning. By using a VR we obtain an independent solution in respect to the master-rover distance in attempt of fixing the ambiguity phase. The real-time experience was carried out with mass-market receivers for NRTK (Network Real Time Kinematic) positioning within the Regione Piemonte CORSs network. Two network products were used (VRS® and nearest correction): RTKLIB software was used in order to apply these corrections to the raw data of the mass market receivers. Some very good results were obtained which are reported in this paper.","PeriodicalId":371808,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE/ION Position, Location and Navigation Symposium - PLANS 2014","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116902722","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}

In the vertical, accuracy requirements at the 99.5% level are already specified within the performance based navigation concept, however monitoring and alerting is not foreseen.

{"title":"Receiver Autonomous Signal Authentication (RASA) based on clock stability analysis","authors":"P. Hwang, G. McGraw","doi":"10.1109/PLANS.2014.6851386","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/PLANS.2014.6851386","url":null,"abstract":"Deceptive interference of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers, including deliberate spoofing of GNSS signals, is an increasing concern. Detection and isolation of deceptive interference signals from true GNSS signals is required to assure Position, Navigation, and Time (PNT) integrity and is a particular concern for unencrypted, Open Service GNSS users. A Receiver Autonomous Signal Authentication (RASA) approach is presented which is based on detecting the presence of a deceptive interference signal artifact due to the variation in the propagation delay from the threat transmitter to a moving target receiver. This artifact is not readily observable in the erroneous position solution, but can be observed in the estimated receiver clock state. This paper describes methods to analyze the stability of receiver clock over a short duration to determine the presence of dynamic artifacts that occur due to relative motion between the deceptive interference source and the GNSS receiver. The paper presents a discussion of the statistical decision testing involved with declaring the signals as “authentic” and presents results from a simulation model on the detection performance as well as live data characterization to validate the method described. The proposed RASA capability has the advantages that it can be implemented in receiver software and does not require coordination with other user receivers or require additional hardware.","PeriodicalId":371808,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE/ION Position, Location and Navigation Symposium - PLANS 2014","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125092033","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}

The methodology is based on transmitting a signature data embedded into L1SAIF navigation message. The signature data is generated by using a part of L1C/A navigation message to generate Reference Authentication NAV Data (RAND). The RAND data is further encoded by LDPC based on a H-matrix. The LDPC encoded data is called signature data and is formatted to make it compatible with L1SAIF navigation message structure. This data is broadcasted from QZSS L1SAIF with a new message ID for authentication purpose. The receiver receives this message and decodes the authentication message into RAND and LDPC parity bits. Based on the information of RAND, the receiver gets corresponding H-matrix and other data from Authentication Data Center (ADC). These data from ADC is used to perform LDPC encoding to received RAND data. If the parity bits from this encoding are the same as the parity bits received by the receiver from L1SAIF signal are the same, it is concluded that the signals (L1C/A and L1SAIF) are authentic. Since, this method is based on using L1C/A navigation message for RAND and L1SAIF for broadcasting the signature data, it can also be implemented to other satellite systems like GPS L1C/A, MSAS, EGNOS and GAGAN.","PeriodicalId":371808,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE/ION Position, Location and Navigation Symposium - PLANS 2014","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126956836","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}

Location based mobile services as well as frequency regulators aiming at efficient spectrum usage are interested in flexible, low cost geolocation systems with high accuracy. One method that meets those requirements is Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA). It has been subject to research for many years now. The main focus of research published about TDoA is presenting new algorithms or calculating estimation bounds in different scenarios. Due to new low cost available hardware solutions, a simple TDoA system can be built and used as a testbed for different algorithms in different real scenarios. This contribution presents an error analysis of a TDoA sensor network using low cost, off-the-shelf software defined radio platforms. The system relies on GPS time stamps provided by the platforms. Five important TDoA error types caused by hardware as well as different channel effects are analyzed. Each error is analyzed in its influence on the position estimate and a possible solution is given. Finally, a general structure of how a smart TDoA system should work is described.","PeriodicalId":371808,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE/ION Position, Location and Navigation Symposium - PLANS 2014","volume":"285 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115022328","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}

In the fine alignment, a Kalman filter is designed, which uses the deviation of velocity and attitude between the SINS and the odometer dead-reckoning results as the measurements. After 30 seconds of stationary-based coarse alignment, the Vehicle leaves for destination at once. During the fine alignment period, the vehicle requires neither special maneuvering nor the helps of the waypoints on the road. It meets the requirements of modern weapons war for rapid response and mobile operations. Simulation results indicate that, the heading error of SINS is less than 4' after ten minutes fine alignment.
