Title
Design of a Compact, Multifrequency, Multiconstellation GNSS Precise Point Positioning Correction Format
Abstract
High-accuracy, high-precision global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) have been utilized by specialized user markets for over two decades. Traditional high-accuracy GNSS systems are not scalable as they require local infrastructure. Precise point positioning (PPP) is a GNSS position estimation technique that allows positioning and navigation with centimetre-level accuracy without local infrastructure. The caveat of PPP is the timely transmission of corrections to errors in the GNSS signals. Next-generation GNSS satellites such as Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, and other local systems have plans to broadcast corrections for PPP services broadcast corrections for PPP services. However, since these services are expected to have limited channel capacity, the development of efficient formats for PPP corrections is needed. In this article, a messaging strategy for PPP corrections and testing its performance, in terms of data rate and obtained positioning accuracy, is proposed. Message formats in the literature require 522 bps or more to transmit corrections for 70 satellites. By contrast, the message format proposed in this article can transmit information corrections for more than 70 satellites using 52% of the standard satellite-based augmentation system channel's 212 bps capacity, while incurring less than 1 cm of positioning accuracy degradation.
