Use of Deeply Integrated GPS/INS Architecture and Laser Scanners for the Identification of Multipath Reflections in Urban Environments

This paper investigates the constructive use of multipath reflections of Global Positioning System (GPS) signals for navigation in urban environments. Urban navigation applications are generally characterized by a significant presence of multipath signals. In order to maintain reliable and accurate navigation capabilities, it is critical to distinguish between direct signal and multipath. At the same time, multipath reflections can be exploited as additional measurements for those cases where the number of direct path satellites is insufficient to compute the navigation solution. The paper develops a method for the identification of multipath reflections in received satellite signals: i.e., multipath is separated from direct signal and a line-of-site between the GPS receiver and a multipath reflecting object is determined. Once multipath reflections are identified, they can be used constructively for navigation. The method presented in the paper exploits an open-loop batch-processing GPS receiver, laser scanner and inertial navigation system (INS) to identify multipath reflections in received satellite signals. Experimental GPS, inertial and laser scanner data collected in real urban environments are applied to demonstrate identification of multipath reflections.     

A multipath mitigation discriminator for GPS receiver

A novel technique for mitigating the multipath-induced code delay estimation error in Global Positioning System (GPS) is proposed. In contrast to conventional methods that aim to eliminate multipath signals, the proposed method exploits them to enhance the direct signal without affecting the accuracy of GPS code delay estimates. To achieve this, coherent accumulation of the received GPS signals is first done by transforming the received data into frequency domain and the parameters of multipath signals are then estimated by sparse reconstruction algorithm. Subsequently, a modified local reference signal is employed in delay lock loop (DLL) of the GPS receiver, which mitigates the pseudo-range estimation error and increases the correlation value of direct GPS signal. Simulation results demonstrate the performance and robustness of the proposed method.

Smart framework for GNSS‐based navigation in urban environments

Intelligent Transport System applications require accurate and reliable positioning. When stand‐alone global positioning system (GPS) is used in urban areas, the results dramatically degrade, because of signal outages and multipath. This paper unveils new signal processing techniques for carrier phase‐based navigation in urban environments. The techniques identify multipath or weak signals using carrier phase based receiver autonomous integrity monitoring, and abnormal signals and situational measurements are eliminated or estimated. To estimate the carrier phase during a short time period when GPS signals is blocked, this paper uses carrier phase statistics. The performance of the proposed method is verified, through a car test. The test environment has many signal outages and multipath because of high buildings. Many abnormal signal conditions occurred during the test, and the results confirmed that the proposed method performed better than the basic stand‐alone GPS approach when compared with GPS/inertial navigation system (INS) integrated navigation results.

GNSS CODE AND CARRIER TRACKING IN THE PRESENCE OF MULTIPATH

It is well known that multipath represents a major error source in differential GNSS positioning. Errors produced are unique to each antenna position and so are uncorrelated between the reference station and the mobile receiver. Reduction techniques, such as narrow correlator spacing¹ and the multipath estimating delay lock loop (MEDLL)² have improved the situation. However, reflected signals emanating close to the antenna are not reduced by either technique. Carrier multipath is a particular problem because short delay multipath signals cause maximum carrier errors. This study describes the analysis that has been carried out into code and carrier tracking in the presence of multipath. Code tracking in this situation produces a non-zero mean error,³ and the source of this bias has been investigated. Code and carrier multipath errors of the global orbiting navigation satellite system (GLONASS) have been compared with those of the global positioning system (GPS). The effects of pre-correlation filtering on code and carrier multipath errors have been determined using data from a measured correlation function. The multipath fading bandwidth is also discussed, and fast and slow fading effects are presented. A comparison has been made of the performance of typical coherent and non-coherent code discriminators in the presence of multipath. The performance of the GPS and GLONASS P code signals have been determined with respect to code and carrier multipath errors. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Comparison of EML and DOT discriminator DLL multipath performancein GPS/GLONASS navigation receivers

The impact of multipath signals on the code phase tracking in digital GPS/GLONASS navigation receivers is analysed. As an interesting result it is for example, shown that for moderate correlator spacings a DOT discriminator DLL offers a larger potential of multipath error reduction by code phase smoothing than an EML discriminator DLL due to significantly smaller mean code phase tracking errors     

Direction-of-arrival estimation for coherent GPS signals based on oblique projection

A new direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation method for coherent global positioning system (GPS) signals is proposed. It is applicable to the GPS propagation environment with rich multipath, strong interferences and noise. According to the properties of oblique projection, interferences and noise are first suppressed and only the coherent GPS signals are retained by projecting the received signal onto the signal subspace. Then, the coherent GPS signals are resolved by the Toeplitz decorrelation scheme. Using the proposed method, interferences and noise can be suppressed simultaneously, and more accurate DOA estimation for coherent GPS signals can be obtained in GPS propagation environment. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Multipath Mitigation Technique Based on Partial Autocorrelation Function

GPS positioning accuracy in indoor and urban canyons environments is greatly affected by multipaths due to distortions in its autocorrelation function. In this paper, the first sidelobe of Pseudorandom Noise (PN) code autocorrelation is studied and a new multipath mitigation technique based on PN code autocorrelation function is presented. This new technique relies on the detection of the partial autocorrelation function that is affected by multipath signals. The increase in fractional delay of the line-of-sight (LOS) signal is calculated. Simulation results indicate that the proposed technique has superior performance compared with the 0.1-chip-spacing narrow correlator on mitigating multipath signals, especially the short-delay multipath signals.
