A new approach for cycle slip detection and fix using single GPS receiver’s single satellite dual frequency data containing arbitrarily large pseudorange errors
Tóm tắt
This paper presents a new cycle slip detection and repair method using Total Electron Content Rate (TECR) information derived from individual satellite dual-frequency data of a single Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver while pseudorange measurements are subject to arbitrarily large range errors. Sudden Increase of Pseudorange Error (SIPE), similar to cycle slips in nature, is quite common in various data acquisition scenarios. The basic principle of this method is to take advantage of the fact that the ionospheric TECR does not exceed certain threshold, which is set as 0.35 TECU/s in this study. Analytic expressions to evaluate the effect of SIPE on cycle slip detections have been developed. The search spaces for cycle slip candidate pairs are defined, given a predefined (sufficiently large) SIPE value. Two cycle slip validation rules are proposed to validate the cycle slip candidates. Over 99.9% of candidates can be rejected with the application of two validation rules. The theoretically maximal number of remaining cycle slip candidate pairs (NRCP) can be exactly calculated based on the magnitude of SIPE, TECR threshold, and the data sampling interval. After applying validation rules, the correct cycle slip pairs can be identified using a modified low-order polynomial fitting method. This method is tested on 13 high rate (1-Hz) dual-frequency datasets recorded by both ground-based static and satellite-borne high dynamic GPS receivers under various levels of ionospheric activities. Simulated cycle slips in 12 different possible cases and varying SIPE magnitudes are introduced into the data sets. In each test scheme, averagely 600–750 pairs of cycle slips are simulated. The SIPE magnitudes are set to vary from 50.0 m to 1000.0 m. Test results show that all the cycle slips in all the test schemes and all the datasets have been successfully detected and fixed even with a maximum SIPE of 1000.0 m in pseudoranges. A distinct advantage of this method is that it works in real-time with individual satellite’s data from a single dual-frequency receiver, even if the carrier phases have virtually any size of cycle slips and the pseudoranges have virtually arbitrarily large errors.
