Abstract
For many years, the navigation team at the French Space Agency (CNES) has been developing its Precise Point Positioning project. The goal was initially to promote a technique called undifferenced ambiguity resolution. One of the main characteristics of this technique is the capability for a user receiver to perform centimeter-level accuracy in real time. To do so, a demonstrator has been built. Its architecture is composed of three main elements: a correction processing software called the server part, a means to transmit the corrections using standardized messages, and a user software capable of handling the corrections to compute an accurate positioning at the user level. In this paper, we present the recent advances in the CNES precise point positioning demonstrator. They are composed of some evolution of the network of stations and server software, the implementation of the new state space representation standard, a new method for instantaneous ambiguity resolution using uncombined four-frequency signals, its implementation in real-time at the server and the user level, and the use of high-rate Doppler measurements to improve the accuracy of the solution in harsh urban environments. On top of that, the computation of high-accuracy post-processed phase biases with the majority of current GNSS signals supported, compatible with the uncombined method and a new online positioning service to demonstrate the capacity of the user software, is demonstrated.
