LEO augmented precise point positioning using real observations from two CENTISPACE™ experimental satellites
2024
Overview
LEO augmentation systems are attracting worldwide attention. However, their performance in real-world environments has not yet been reported, although several systems have already launched experimental satellites, such as the CENTISPACE™ system developed by Beijing Future Navigation Tech Co., Ltd. By using real observations from two experimental CENTISPACE™ satellites recorded by a regional network, we present the results of LEO-enhanced precise point positioning (PPP) performance. Based on a proposed three-step approach for LEO orbit determination and time synchronization, a framework for LEO augmentation data processing is established and validated. Two stations are selected for LEO augmentation evaluation, and static PPP is performed by combining the LEO augmentation observations with different GNSS systems, including GPS, BDS-3, and Galileo. The static PPP precision shows a few improvements attributed to LEO observations; the positioning errors with one, two, and three GNSS systems are 6.1, 4.6, and 4.6 cm, respectively, while they are reduced to 5.2, 3.9, and 3.8 cm by adding the LEO satellites, respectively, revealing improvements of 13.9, 16.4, and 18.8%, respectively. Moreover, PPP convergence is significantly enhanced. The average convergence times with one, two, and three GNSS systems are 32.7, 17.9, and 14.2 min, respectively, which are reduced to 16.7, 8.9, and 5.7 min, respectively, by adding LEO observations. This indicates that the convergence time is significantly shortened by approximately 53% with the augmentations from only two LEO satellites. Such results show the potential of LEO augmentation, and larger improvements can be expected with more LEO satellites to be deployed in the future.
