Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2472: Analysis of Post-Processed Pseudorange-Based Point Positioning with Different Data Sources for the Current Galileo Constellations

This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of Galileo Single Point Positioning (SPP) using different broadcast ephemeris data sources. This study investigates the completeness of Galileo navigation message records from different institutions. The results show that IGS provides the best completeness across different data sources (ECR > 70%), while IGN exhibits the lowest completeness. Analyze the proportions of different data sources within the Galileo navigation message in the broadcast ephemeris files provided by IGS during the study period. The proportions of FNAV_258, INAV_513, INAV_516, and INAV_517 during the study period are 25.83%, 24.76%, 23.61%, and 25.80%, respectively, suggesting better data completeness for FNAV_258 and INAV_517 and poorer completeness for INAV_513 and INAV_516. Finally, this study explores SPP solutions for GPS and Galileo systems using different data sources. The results indicate that a higher ECR corresponds to better positioning performance. Although GPS exhibits smaller error fluctuations and smoother positioning results, Galileo’s SPP positioning accuracy surpasses that of GPS. The introduction of dual-frequency observations effectively reduces data dispersion and enhances vertical positioning accuracy.
