  • Publication number: 20200408926
    Abstract: A system for estimating a receiver position with high integrity can include a remote server comprising: a reference station observation monitor configured to: receive a set of reference station observations associated with a set of reference stations, detect a predetermined event, and mitigate an effect of the predetermined event; a modeling engine configured to generate corrections; a reliability engine configured to validate the corrections; and a positioning engine comprising: an observation monitor configured to: receive a set of satellite observations from a set of global navigation satellites corresponding to at least one satellite constellation; detect a predetermined event; and mitigate an effect of the predetermined event; a carrier phase determination module configured to determine a carrier phase ambiguity of the set of satellite observations; and a position filter configured to estimate a position of the receiver.

  • Publication number: 20200271795
    Abstract: A method for Real Time Kinematic satellite positioning includes receiving navigation satellite carrier signals, receiving phase correction signals from a reference station, calculating a set of integer phase ambiguities from double-differenced measurements of pseudo-range and phase, and calculating a relative position of the mobile receiver from the set of integer phase ambiguities and the double-differenced measurements of pseudo-range and phase.
