2 GPS and GNSS Overview GPS: Global Positioning System System owned and operated by the U.S. government Civilian service freely available to users worldwide Military service available to selected agencies only GNSS: Global Navigation Satellite System General term for any satellite-based navigation system Includes multiple systems worldwide Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) Galileo Joint effort of European Community and European Space Agency 2 test satellites in orbit, contracts awarded for first 14 satellites, up to 32 satellites operational by 2014 Interoperability agreement signed with GPS 4 services (open service, paid commercial service, safety of life service, public regulated service) as compared to 2 GPS services (public and private) Global Orbiting Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) Russian system first launched by Soviet Union in 1982 Became non-functional for most applications in the 1990 s Currently being restored, 22 satellites in orbit as of Dec Particularly good coverage over upper latitudes (Northern Europe) Compass (Beidou-2) Chinese system 3 satellites are up, 12 satellites by 2012 to provide regional service Eventually 30 satellites
3 GNSS Related Systems Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) Geostationary satellites transmit correction and integrity data for GNSS system over the GNSS frequency. Provides increased positioning accuracy. North America: Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) India: GPS and GEO Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) India: Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (INRSS) Europe: European Geostationary Overlay Service (EGNOS) Japan: Multifunctional Satellite Based Augmentation Satellite System (MSAS) Japan: Quazi Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) Regional Navigation Satellite Systems (RNSS) Intended for improved coverage over limited areas GPS Technology Overview Constellation of 24 active satellites in orbit (up to 32 satellites total) Each satellite transmits its current location and time Each satellite transmission is synchronized to the rest by atomic clock Minimum of 4 satellites required for 3D location calculation Major segments of the system Space: Satellites or Space Vehicles (SV) orbiting the Earth twice a day at 20,200 km Control: Ground stations provide navigation information update and SV control User: GPS receiver
4 How Does GPS Work in the Real World? Space Segment Uplink data: Satellite orbital information Position constants Clock correction factors Atmospheric data Almanac Monitor Stations GPS Data Master Control Station User Control segment GPS Transmitted Signal Satellite GPS signal has 3 components: Carrier wave: MHz (L1) & MHz (L2) Ranging (pseudo-random) codes: Coarse acquisition (C/A) code and precise (P) code Navigation message: 50 bit/s contains ephemeris data (detailed orbital information for the transmitting satellite) and almanac data (more general orbital information for all satellites) L1 Carrier MHz C/A Code MHz Navigation Data 50 Hz + 90 Σ + L1 Signal (Civilian use) modulo 2 adder P Code MHz + modulator L2 Carrier MHz L2 Signal (Military use)
5 Navigation Message Navigation message 25 pages/frames 37,500 bits 12.5 minutes Sub-frame bits Sub-frame 1 6 seconds Sub-frame 3 Sub-frame 4 Sub-frame Frame (page) 1500 bits 30 seconds TL LM HO OW Satellite health and clock correction data TL LM HO OW Ephemeris TL LM HO OW Ephemeris TL LM HO OW Partial almanac & other data TL LM HO OW Almanac Telemetry word (TLM) 30 bits 0.6 seconds 8 bits preamble 16 bits reserved 6 bits parity Handover word (HOW) 30 bits 0.6 seconds 17 bits Time of week TOW 7 bits ID 6 bits parity Worst Case: 30 seconds to receive full ephemeris data 12.5 minutes to receive full almanac data Almanac and Ephemeris Files Almanac File Contains data on the health and general orbital information for every satellite in the constellation. Updated weekly. Ephemeris File Contains detailed information on the orbit of an individual satellite. Updated every 2 hours. Data from the almanac can be used to create a scenario file that contains the satellite information for a specific date, time, and location. Ephemeris data files can be used to create a GPS signal that more accurately represents the actual signals broadcast at that date, time, and location.
6 Agenda GPS technology concepts GPS and GNSS overview Assisted GPS (A-GPS) Basic tests required for GPS receiver verification Test solutions Signal creation for GPS receiver test A-GPS test systems GNSS = Global Navigation Satellite Systems Assisted GPS (A-GPS) Technique for cellular network to assist mobile phone s GPS receiver to lock to satellites and achieve location fix more quickly Fulfills U.S. FCC s E911 directive which mandated fast and accurate location of mobile phones by emergency services Needed due to low GPS signal levels that may be seen by mobile phones when indoors or in areas without direct view of sufficient satellites Allows mobile phone s GPS receiver to acquire location fix much more quickly Base station provides assistance data to mobile phones. Data includes: Navigation: precise satellite orbital information Almanac: coarse orbital information Time of Week: GPS time Ionosphere: single frequency (L1) correction factors Reference location: initial estimate of location Acquisition assistance: data to aid in locating or tracking satellites Real-time integrity: list of bad satellites UTC model: leap second time correction for GPS time
7 How Does A-GPS Work in the Real World? Space Segment Uplink data: Satellite ephemeris Position constants Clock correction factors Atmospheric data Almanac Monitor Stations GPS Assistance Server Master Control Station Network Downlink: Coarse Time Ephemeris Data Coarse Location (100m accuracy) Almanac Control segment Cellular Network User A-GPS Operation Assistance Data Transportation Control plane: Uses dedicated messaging on network control channels User plane: Uses existing standard Internet protocol (IP) based data connections; also called Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) A-GPS Modes Mobile station/user equipment (MS/UE) Assisted (older method) MS/UE supplies GPS measurements to network Network combines with assistance server data, calculates and transmits location back to mobile Typically used with control plane MS/UE Based (newer method) MS/UE uses assistance data to calculate location Transmits location back to BS Used with user plane (less network dependent)
8 Agenda GPS technology concepts GPS and GNSS overview Assisted GPS (A-GPS) Basic tests required for GPS receiver verification Test solutions Signal creation for GPS receiver test A-GPS test systems Typical Tests for GPS Receiver Verification Time To First Fix (TTFF) Cold, warm, hot start conditions Sensitivity Acquisition sensitivity Tracking sensitivity Location Accuracy Absolute and relative accuracy Moving GPS receiver accuracy Satellite tracking accuracy
9 Time to First Fix (TTFF) Time To First Fix (TTFF) For cold, warm, hot start conditions Time between start of GPS signal and the acquisition of a location fix by the GPS receiver May be tested under different conditions or states of the GPS receiver: Cold start: Receiver does not have time or position information, no valid ephemeris (or almanac) data (typical TTFF sec, may be up to several minutes) Warm start: Last position and approximate time known, valid almanac, no valid ephemeris data (typical TTFF sec) Hot start: Time and last position known, valid almanac and ephemeris (typical TTFF 1-5 sec) Need to specify satellite power level when testing TTFF Test requires a multi-satellite GPS signal with valid navigational messages Sensitivity Sensitivity Acquisition sensitivity Tracking sensitivity Sensitivity minimum = -174dBm/Hz + C/No minimum + NF receiver Minimum level of signal that allows GPS receiver to acquire or track the GPS signal (may also be specified in terms of C/No) Acquisition sensitivity: minimum level to successfully perform TTFF under cold start (typically around -140 to -150 dbm) Tracking sensitivity: minimum level to maintain location fix once it has been attained (typically -150 to -160 dbm) Test requires multi-satellite GPS signal with valid navigational messages for TTFF, and real-time satellite power control to reduce power levels to test sensitivity
10 Location Accuracy Location Accuracy Absolute and relative accuracy Moving GPS receiver accuracy Satellite tracking accuracy Absolute location accuracy: Closeness of the receiver s calculated location fix to the ideal (simulated) location Relative location accuracy: Compares location fixes between tests May be tested for both stationary and moving GPS receivers Satellite tracking accuracy: Track location of single satellite Tests require multi-satellite GPS signal for location fix, repeatable test scenarios, moving GPS receiver scenarios, and ability to vary power and other satellite parameters to test tracking Secondary GPS Verification Tests Calculate reacquisition time Time required to resume location fix following loss of signal RF interference measurements Measures the ability of the GPS receiver to operate in the presence of interfering (jamming) signals (second RF source required)
11 Why You Need GPS Simulation GPS simulation offers the following advantages over live satellite signals: Repeatability Ensure exact replication of the signal conditions for each test Flexibility Use different scenarios to simulate different locations and times, with different satellites and orbits Control Use standard test scenarios throughout your process Stress Testing Turn individual satellites on/off and change satellite power Reduce satellite visibility Introduce specific, known impairments Requirements for GPS Test Signals GPS Signal Simulation Feature Multiple channels to simulate multiple satellites (4 to 15) Stationary and moving GPS receiver scenarios Real-time satellite power adjustments, satellite visibility on/off Custom scenario generation capability Test Challenges Met Minimum of 4 for TTFF. 15 allows you to reproduce all satellites visible from any location. Test more realistic case of moving GPS receiver as well as simple stationary case Test sensitivity, ability to reacquire satellite signals Flexibility to create scenarios for any date, time, or location TTFF Sensitivity Accuracy
12 Requirements for GPS Test Signals Impairments Feature Multipath signals (requires more channels) Reduced satellite visibility: partial or complete, elevation mask Ionospheric and tropospheric modeling Add calibrated AWGN Test Challenges Met Simulate real-world situation with reflected signals from obstructions Test loss of visibility due to tunnels, mountains, or other obstructions Account for atmospheric effects on GPS signals (refraction, delay) Add broadband noise to control C/No of GPS signal TTFF Sensitivity Accuracy Agenda GPS technology concepts GPS and GNSS overview Assisted GPS (A-GPS) Basic tests required for GPS receiver verification Test solutions Signal creation for GPS receiver test A-GPS test systems
