  5. Introduction (1/2) • The following code (pseudorange) observables are available from GPS: C/A (=C1), P1(Y1), P2(Y2), and C2 (for the Block IIR-M constellation). • In the presence of Anti-Spoofing (AS), P-codes P1, P2 are encrypted for non-authorized users to Y1, Y2. • We have to distinguish between three receiver classes (in terms of the code tracking technology): • P1/P2: C1, P1, P2 • C1/X2: C1, X2=C1+(P2-P1) • C1/P2: C1, P2 • C1/X2 receiver models are identified as cross-correlation (CC) receivers. Prominent examples are Rogue and Trimble 4000 models. • The operation of CC receivers depends on the AS state. It is assumed here that AS is always on (!). • The latest generations of Leica, Novatel, Trimble receivers belong to the C1/P2 receiver class. Note: This is true for GPS, but not for GLONASS observations (P1/P2). • We have a method at CODE for verification of the receiver class.

  7. Introduction (2/2) • Instrumental biases, BC1, BP1, BP2, BC2, are present with respect to C1, P1, P2, C2. These biases are not accessible (in the absolute sense). • It is common to address the following differences of code biases: • P1-P2, • P1-C1, and • P2-C2 differential code bias (=DCB). • By convention, precise satellite clock corrections contain a specific linear combination of P1 and P2 satellite biases, specifically the ionosphere-free LC: 2.55·BP1-1.55·BP2(+B0). • It is obvious that code tracking data from both the C1/X2 and the C1/P2 receiver class must be corrected in order to achieve full consistency with P1/P2 data, or precise satellite clock information. • Jim Ray’s cc2noncc.f is a RINEX converter utility program to make given code measurements consistent with P1/P2 data by applying satellite-dependent P1-C1 bias corrections (e.g. produced by CODE).

How to Use P1-P2 and P1-C1 Satellite DCB Information The following table gives the corrections due to satellite-specific P1-P2 and P1-C1 DCB values for the most important linear combinations derived from various combinations of code observable types: • Determination methods: • P1-P2: Iono. / Abs. receiver cal. • P1-C1: Diff. / Clock / Amb. res.

  9. Time Series of Daily GPS P1-P2 DCB Values From Potsdam-Dresden-Reprocessing (PDR)

  10. Analysis of Realigned DCB Time Series • Realignment: G01, G04, G05, G09, G25, G26 selected as reference for DCB datum definition. • The long GPS satellites lifetime (> 14 years) is remarkable. • FODITS (Find Outliers and Discontinuities In Time Series), a new component of the Bernese SW for “automated” analysis of GNSS station coordinate time series (developed by Luca Ostini) was used for the first time for this specific application. • Visual verification of realigned P1-P2 and P1-C1 DCB time series on the basis of: • (stable) receiver DCB results and • satellite DCB results for PRN23/SVN23 and PRN32, the reactivated SVN23.

  20. Additional Bias Issues GLONASS ambiguity resolution: • We already started to perform GLONASS ambigity resolution at CODE (and at swisstopo), specifically in • our EPN (EUREF) GNSS regional analysis, • swisstopo’s AGNES (Automated GNSS Network Switzerland) analysis, including the NRT processing of the AGNES network. • CODE’s GNSS global analysis scheme will be upgraded in this sense in the near future. At present, GLONASS AR is performed just for shortest baselines using the direct L1/L2 resolution method. • GLONASS single-difference ambiguity initialization bias is crucial in particular for narrow-lane ambiguity fixing for baselines with different GNSS receiver models. • Related problems are addressed on the poster by Heinz Habrich et al. • GLONASS code biases affect: • wide-lane AR using the pseudorange method  (practically) impossible • GPS/GLONASS clock estimation  more demanding (compared to GPS) GPS L2 ambiguity resolution: • We already got confronted with 0.25-cycle phase biases between L2P and L2C, revealed by UNBN NOV OEMV3 observation data. • More details will be given in the presentation prepared by Werner Gurtner on “The RINEX format: Current status, future developments.”

  22. Summary • Steadily increasing number of types of biases to be dealt with (…). • The knowledge of GPS P1-C1 biases is a must for successful ambiguity resolution (on long baselines) and for precise clock estimation when relying on a mixed receiver network. • ESA/ESOC's latest version of cc2noncc (capable to cope with RINEX 2.11) was recommended in IGS Mail 5778/5781 (by Nacho Romero). • Regularly updated P1-C1 bias table: p1c1bias.2000(p). See: http://www.aiub.unibe.ch/download/bcwg/cc2noncc2/ http://igscb.jpl.nasa.org/projects/bcwg/ (or simply http://igs.org/projects/bcwg/) • Problems related to datum definition, detection of jump discontinuities, drifts, outliers, anomalies are very similar to those of other time series, such as station coordinates. • Time series results show • commonly very stable satellite DCB retrievals, • a considerably increased scattering of P1-C1 DCB estimates as long as the number of P1/P2 receivers is small (close to 1), • only few jump discontinuities (for the GPS constellation)’ • Generation of a mean set of P1-P2 and P1-C1 DCB values (consistent to one common DCB reference, eventually aligned in the absolute sense) may be seen as a mid-term goal.

  23. Recommendations / Discussion • Continuous monitoring of differential code bias (DCB) values with respect to P1-C1 and P1-P2 must be continued. • Time lab stations available in the IGS network should not only be considered for clock analysis, but also for ionosphere analysis (for monitoring of the corresponding receiver P1-P2 code biases). • GLONASS satellite and receiver DCB results should be included in IGSG and IGRG IONEX products. • Absolute receiver calibration with respect to C1 (and also C2) would be desirable. • IGS C2 data availability has to be improved. • cc2noncc is capable to correct RINEX observation data for GPS P1-C1 bias values only. IGS users (and in particular the ACs) should be prepared to apply corresponding code bias corrections in their own GNSS analysis software (in order to cope with P2-C2, other GNSS, RINEX 3, etc.). • For the IGS reprocessing, AS-free periods in -1994, 1995 (3), 1997 (1) must be considered (applying no P1-C1 bias corrections there). • File format for DCB data exchange. • Use of RINEX 3 (?) • Quarter-cycle phase bias issue (!) • Provision of (mean) GLONASS single-difference ambiguity initialization bias values for the various types of IGS GNSS receivers (?) • DCB quantities conform with “undifferenced ambiguity resolution” (…)
