Abstract
The a priori fault probability of the real-time precise satellite orbit and clock correction products is the critical parameter for integrity monitoring of precise point positioning (PPP). The traditional fault probability evaluation methods use the worst-case instantaneous user ranging error (IURE) as the conservative test statistic. However, the systematic biases of IURE contained in the worst-case IURE barely affect the PPP accuracy, which will undermine the statistical distribution of test statistic and reduce the sensitivity of fault detection. The fault probability will be estimated over-conservatively for the traditional methods. By clarifying the sources of the systematic biases, a new test statistic is constructed by deliberately removing the systematic biases of IURE originated from satellite orbit and clock errors. One-year Global Positioning System correction products evaluation results have demonstrated that the constructed test statistic follows the Gaussian distribution with the decreased uncertainty and the improved fault detection sensitivity. The real-world data experiments have shown that the a priori probabilities of the satellite fault and the constellation fault are at the order of 10−4 and 10−5 levels, respectively.
