16 Single-Frequency COTS Low Cost RTK Receivers Hardware Receivers: Low-Cost, Single-Frequency RTK on the Market Time To Fix Ambiguities in the order of a 4-5 minutes if: Short baselines (Physical or VRS Stations) Medium-High number of visible satellites (7-9) Dual-Frequency chipset for smartphones yet on the Market! Software Receivers/SDR (Software Dedined Radio): Full SDR: Software program on a PC or a Tablet GPS/EGNOS RTK Going toward smartphone and Galileo integration 16

17 High Precision for Everyone Google announced raw GNSS measurements output from smartphones and tablets running Android Nougat Smartphones Processing limitations: Bias in the carrier-phase measurements High Pseudorange noise (tens of meters) Carrier Phase affected by frequent outliers GNSS antenna uses linear polarization: weak resistance to multipath Duty cycle to be disabled for allowing continuous Phase Galileo Ready equipments still on the Market 17

18 High Precision on Smartphone: close to surveying Released the first Dual Frequency, multiconstellation chipset for smartphones on 21 September 2017 Signals: GPS L1/L5 GLONASS L1 Beidou B1 Galileo E1/E5a QZSS L5 Low power consumption High Precision (Code and Phase) Higher performances in Urban areas (multipath resistance, higher avaiability) We are closer to a smartphone RTK survey! 18

19 Precise Point Positioning (PPP) Precise Point Positioning (PPP) through a Single Receiver (no Reference Station connection) Real-Time Precise Orbits and Clocks from Augmentation Service Providers and sparse Regional/Global Reference Station Networks (low cost) Other errors to be modelled (Phase-Windup, Ocean loading and Earth tides, relativistic effects, Sagnac effect) Convergence to 10 cm in min (no Ambiguity Fix) The next objective: Real-Time PPP-RTK and cm level positioning! PPP Control Centre Precise Orbits, Clocks, Biases Ambiguity Fix 19

26 Galileo Integration Issues and constraints for High Precision Surveying Manufacturers constraints: Most of manufacturers are integrating E1, E5a, E5b, E5 Galileo Signals E6 implemented only by one manufaturer Commercial Services ICD The use of Galileo measurements for RTK for some manufacturers is optional and subject to the payment of a firmware update Some manufacturers do not correctly decode Galileo Ephemeris (both geodetic and Mass Market receivers) Galileo Services for Network-RTK Operators: GGSP: Galileo Precise Orbits and Clocks solutions, as well as ERP parameters for PPP and Control Network Adjustment using Galileo GTRF: INSPIRE Directive recommends the use of ETRF2000 for Public Administration services; could be important having the transformation parameters from GTRF to ETRF2000 provided directly by the GGSP 26

27 Suggestions for improving the introduction of Galileo To involve GNSS High Precision Service Providers and Land Administrations in the Galileo Commercial Services Validation Phase (GGSP Products validation) To involve GNSS Network Operators in Galileo Broadcasting channel tests: very interesting to test the Commercial Services broadcasting capability, compliance to current RTCM standards or update to meet the available message length To help Network Operators to sustain Reference Stations firmware upgrade in the early period after Galileo FOC (Agreement with Manufacturers) EGNOS/EDAS: introduce multiple-frequency capability To promote the integration of Networks to be used for different applications (Federated Network) To ensure that Galileo for RTK is included by default by all manufacturers into their products (no additional cost for surveyors and Network Operators) 27

28 Conclusions and Recommendations High Precision techniques are evolving from NRTK to PPP-RTK High Integrity and Anti-Spoofing relevant for Service Guarantee GNSS Federated Augmentation Network for cost sharing Galileo relevant improvements in terms of Availability, Multipath resistance, Integrity Galileo Authentication Services for mitigating spoofing threats Galileo Broadcasting of corrections messages (RTCM MSM) for low cost PPP Dual Frequency Smartphone chipset on the Market: we are closer to Smartphone GPS+Galileo Land Surveying 28
