Property Analysis of the Real-Time Uncalibrated Phase Delay Product Generated by Regional Reference Stations and Its Influence on Precise Point Positioning Ambiguity Resolution.

ABSTRACT: The real-time estimation of the wide-lane and narrow-lane Uncalibrated Phase Delay (UPD) of satellites is realized by real-time data received from regional reference station networks; The properties of the real-time UPD product and its influence on real-time precise point positioning ambiguity resolution (RTPPP-AR) are experimentally analyzed according to real-time data obtained from the regional Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) network located in Tianjin, Shanghai, Hong Kong, etc. The results show that the real-time wide-lane and narrow-lane UPD products differ significantly from each other in time-domain characteristics; the wide-lane UPDs have daily stability, with a change rate of less than 0.1 cycle/day, while the narrow-lane UPDs have short-term stability, with significant change in one day. The UPD products generated by different regional networks have obvious spatial characteristics, thus significantly influencing RTPPP-AR: the adoption of real-time UPD products employing the sparse stations in the regional network for estimation is favorable for improving the regional RTPPP-AR up to 99%; the real-time UPD products of different regional networks slightly influence PPP-AR positioning accuracy. After ambiguities are successfully fixed, the real-time dynamic RTPPP-AR positioning accuracy is better than 3 cm in the plane and 8 cm in the upward direction.

Project description:Although precise point positioning (PPP) is a well-established and promising technique with the use of precise satellite orbit and clock products, it costs a long convergence time to reach a centimeter-level positioning accuracy. The PPP with ambiguity resolution (PPP-AR) technique can improve convergence performance by resolving ambiguities after separating the fractional cycle bias (FCB). Now the FCB estimation is mainly realized by the regional or global operating reference station network. However, it does not work well in the areas where network resources are scarce. The contribution of this paper is to realize an ambiguity residual constraint-based PPP with partial ambiguity resolution (PPP-PARC) under no real-time network corrections to speed up the convergence, especially when the performance of the float solution is poor. More specifically, the update strategy of FCB estimation in a stand-alone receiver is proposed to realize the PPP-PAR. Thereafter, the solving process of FCB in a stand-alone receiver is summarized. Meanwhile, the influencing factors of the ambiguity success rate in the PPP-PAR without network corrections are analyzed. Meanwhile, the ambiguity residual constraint is added to adapt the particularity of the partial ambiguity-fixing without network corrections. Moreover, the positioning experiments with raw observation data at the Global Positioning System (GPS) globally distributed reference stations are conducted to determine the ambiguity residual threshold for post-processing and real-time scenarios. Finally, the positioning performance was verified by 22 GPS reference stations. The results show that convergence time is reduced by 15.8% and 26.4% in post-processing and real-time scenarios, respectively, when the float solution is unstable, compared with PPP using a float solution. However, if the float solution is stable, the PPP-PARC method has performance similar to the float solution. The method shows the significance of the PPP-PARC for future PPP applications in areas where network resource is deficient.
