2 Outline Carrier phase ambiguity resolution Background State-of-the-art Performance prospects High-precision applications: examples Carrier phase ambiguity resolution with constraints Background Recent developments and results 2 76
3 3 76 : number of times (= known) fits into ( = unknown integer) A Simple Ambiguity Resolution Example = = = a p D a p E p, 0 0, σ σ ϕ ρ λ ϕ ϕ Model: integer p λ 1 λ 2 λ 3 λ ( 2) a λ ( 1) a λ a ϕ A B ϕ a λ p : measured fraction distance AB ( = 2 mm) σ ϕ : measured distance AB ( = 20 cm) σ p ρ ρ a : unknown distance AB
4 Relative Positioning: Double Differencing elimination of receiver clock errors elimination of initial receiver phase offsets DD phase ambiguity is an integer number! 1 2 DD code observation: Δp T , j = Δp12, j Δp12, j = ( e2 ) Δx12 + μ jδi12, j + ΔT , j x 12 DD phase observation: relative receiver position T , j = Δϕ12, j Δϕ12, j = ( e2 ) Δx12 μ jδi12, j + ΔT12 + λ jδn12, j ε12, j Δϕ + relative receiver position integer DD ambiguity 4 76
5 Resolution of the DD ambiguities code observation: dm precision phase observation: mm precision, but: receiver-satellite geometry has to change considerably (long observation time) to solve position with mm-cm accuracy if DD ambiguities are resolved to integers within a short time (or instantaneously), positions (and other parameters) can be solved with mm-cm accuracy 5 76
6 Precision of relative GPS positioning code observations N E U phase observations float N E U st.dev. [m] 1 st.dev. [m] fixed time [min] two epochs of data: varying time span time [min] 6 76
7 Precision code vs. phase observations code observations phase observations U U E N 1 m E N 0.01 m both RELATIVE positioning phase: provided that the integer ambiguity is KNOWN 7 76
8 Short vs. long baselines DELAY_1 DELAY_2 atmospheric layer short baselines (few km): signals travel through same part of atmosphere differential atmospheric delays neglected x I12 = 0 T12 = 0 beneficial for ambiguity resolution (less parameters) long baselines (> few km): differential atmospheric delays need to be modeled (otherwise: wrong ambiguities and biased position) 8 76
9 Ionosphere-fixed, -float, -weighted model Ionosphere-fixed model: no differential ionospheric delay parameters observations may be corrected a priori for ionosphere for short baselines only can already be based on single-frequency data Ionosphere-float model: parameterization of differential ionospheric delays for long baselines based on at least dual-frequency data Ionosphere-weighted model: Ionosphere corrections from network RTK subtracted for medium to long baselines 9 76
10 GNSS model observation equations: y = Aa+ Bb+ e, a Z n ; Q yy y a b Q yy data vector ambiguities baseline coordinates & other unknowns variance-covariance matrix of data 10 76
11 SUCCESSFUL INTEGER AMBIGUITY RESOLUTION is the key to FAST and PRECISE GNSS parameter estimation (baseline coordinates, attitude angles, orbit parameters, atmospheric delays) 11 76
12 Integer estimation float solution estimate position and carrier ambiguities integer map estimate integer ambiguities fixed solution estimate position (ambiguities fixed) validate float solution validate integer ambiguities 12 76
13 Float and fixed solution Ambiguities not fixed Ambiguities fixed Up (meters) 0.0 Up (meters) North (meters) East (meters) North (meters) East (meters)
14 Integer estimation integer map aˆ R n S( aˆ) = a Z n no holes & no overlap translation invariant ('linearity') 14 76
15 Different choices of integer estimators 2 integer rounding integer bootstrapping integer least-squares after their pull-in region 15 76
16 Ambiguity resolution Integer ambiguities are derived from stochastic observations Integer ambiguities are not deterministic but stochastic input (stochastic) a ( a) S R n Z n = S ˆ : output (stochastic) 16 76
17 Integer estimation Optimal integer estimator: integer least-squares 2 1 a = arg min aˆ z 2 z Z n Q aˆ
18 Integer estimation PDF f a ˆ ( x) PMF P( a LS = z) success rate: P ( a = = LS a) faˆ ( x) dx S a 18 76
19 LAMBDA method Integer estimation: optimal : maximum success rate efficient : (near) real-time Applicable to wide variety of models With or without relative satellite-receiver geometry Stationary or moving receivers With or without atmospheric delays Single- or multi-baseline One, two, three or more frequencies (any GNSS) LAMBDA LAMBDA 19 76
20 Ambiguity Resolution Methods Search in the 3-dimensional position space (e.g. ambiguity function method); Now deprecated Linear combination of code and phase (using widelane/narrowlane combinations) performance worse with AS has been improved by LAMBDA: 2-dimensional ambiguity resolution/search problem Geometry-free model Search in the m-dimensional ambiguity space Geometry-based model 20 76
21 Integer validation: ratio test Integer validation:? actually discrimination test: is integer estimate sufficiently more likely than any other integer candidate? in practice: ratio test 21 76
22 a 2 a â 1 ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ a a Q Q a a a a ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ a Q a Q a a a a Integer validation: ratio test
23 Integer validation: ratio test Ratio test: aˆ a aˆ a Problem: how to choose μ? Practice: fixed value of e.g. μ = Q 2 Q aˆ aˆ New theory: choose μ based on the condition that: P (failure) β user-defined μ > μ use a use aˆ Note: reciprocal of ratio test used in practice Look-up table to determine μ for a given ILS failure rate and number of ambiguities 23 76
24 Integer validation: ratio test white: rejected red: accepted but wrong green: accepted and correct P (float) = undecided rate P (failure) = failure rate < β P (success) = success rate 24 76
