Real-time integrity monitoring for a wide area precise positioning system

Abstract The wide area precise positioning system (WAPPS) is a high-precision positioning system based on a global navigation satellite system. Using a GEO satellite or a communication network, it provides users, in its service area, with real-time satellite orbit, clock, and other corrections. Users can achieve centimeter-level static positioning or decimeter-level kinematic positioning by precise point positioning. With the demands for applications of both high-precision and safety of life in real time, WAPPS is facing urgent needs to improve its service integrity. This study presents a real-time integrity monitoring approach for WAPPS. Using dual-frequency ionosphere-free corrections of GPS and BDS, along with monitor station data, related error models are established and the integrity monitoring is achieved, based on the analysis of satellite corrected residuals. In addition, satellite faults are simulated for performance verification. The results show that the algorithm can monitor both step and drift faults effectively and alert users in time.
