This paper proposes to determine the GPS satellites DCB using nine GPS receivers located in the middle of Egypt. During four seasons and 36 days characterized by quiet geomagnetism, the performance of the proposed method is examined. The dual GPS data selected is used and applied to the GPS receiver chain notes. The Bernese program V.5 is used to estimate DCBs from the data of a single GPS station where the results of the algorithm operation are compared to the CODE DCB data and the main differences in GLONASS data are recorded. According to the comparison of the results between the proposed method and the currently existing methods, it can be shown that the accuracy of the DCB estimates is at a level of about 0.31 and 0.17 ns.

Global positioning system (GPS) has been identified as a potential tool for capturing crash location data. This study quantifies factors that could affect the accuracy of GPS receivers. The results showed that GPS receiver orientation, site obstructions, and weather have significant effects on the accuracy of GPS receivers. Time of day and number of satellites were not found to significantly affect the accuracy of GPS receivers. HDOP values of 1.2 or less were found to be adequate for crash location purposes. An accuracy improvement of 20.7% was realized by filtering GPS data based on HDOP values.

Remote sensing by ground based GPS receivers provide continuous and accurate measurement of precipitable water (PW) of an order of 1.5 mm comparable to radiosondes and water vapour radiometers.  In the present work we have examined the amount of PW variation in three thunderstorms accompanied with rain shower that occurred over the GPS station.  In all the three thunderstorms event heavy rain was reported.  However on comparison of observed rainfall with GPS estimated precipitable water (hourly) in real time, it is observed that among the three, in one event the amount of precipitable water (PW) is much less (~20mm) for the same amount of rainfall.  After analysing and taken into account various source of error, we suspect that in a mesoscale thunderstorms or squall lines associated with heavy rainfall, discrepancies arise because the wet mapping functions that used to map the wet delay at any angle to the zenith do not represent the localized atmospheric condition particularly for narrow towering thunder clouds and non-availability of GPS satellites in the zenith direction.  On the other hand for the larger thunder cells the atmosphere is very nearly azimuthally symmetric with respect to GPS receiver, the error due to the wet mapping function is minimal.

GPS receivers have been used successfully on low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite missions for several years. The use of a GPS receiver at altitudes higher than LEO, however, is non-trivial as the receiver will be outside the main lobe of the GPS broadcast signals, and it will have to track signals from GPS satellites transmitting from the other side of the Earth. This paper will review the special hardware and software adaptations required for GPS receiver operations on a medium Earth orbit or geostationary satellite, along with preliminary results from simulations and an in-orbit experiment.

The timing group delay parameter (TGD) or differential code bias parameter (DCB) is an important factor that affects the performance of GNSS basic services; therefore, TGD and DCB must be taken seriously. Moreover, the TGD parameter is modulated in the navigation message, taking into account the impact of TGD on the performance of the basic service. International GNSS Monitoring and Assessment System (iGMAS) provides the broadcast ephemeris with TGD parameter and the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) provides DCB products. In this paper, the current available BDS-3 TGD and DCB parameters are firstly described in detail, and the relationship of TGD and DCB for BDS-3 is figured out. Then, correction models of BDS-3 TGD and DCB in standard point positioning (SPP) or precise point positioning (PPP) are given, which can be applied in various situations. For the effects of TGD and DCB in the SPP and PPP solution processes, all the signals from BDS-3 were researched, and the validity of TGD and DCB has been further verified. The experimental results show that the accuracy of B1I, B1C and B2a single-frequency SPP with TGD or DCB correction was improved by approximately 12–60%. TGD will not be considered for B3I single-frequency, because the broadcast satellite clock offset is based on the B3I as the reference signal. The positioning accuracy of B1I/B3I and B1C/B2a dual-frequency SPP showed that the improvement range for horizontal components is 60.2% to 74.4%, and the vertical components improved by about 50% after the modification of TGD and DCB. In addition, most of the uncorrected code biases are mostly absorbed into the receiver clock bias and other parameters for PPP, resulting in longer convergence time. The convergence time can be max increased by up to 50% when the DCB parameters are corrected. Consequently, the positioning accuracy can reach the centimeter level after convergence, but it is critical for PPP convergence time and receiver clock bias that the TGD and DCB correction be considered seriously.

Precise Point Positioning (PPP) with GPS measurements has achieved a level of success. In order to benefit from the multiple available constellations, research has been undertaken to combineGPS and BDS measurements in PPP processing.Mathematical models of GPS/BDS combined precise point positioning are introduced in this paper. GPS/BDS combined PPP models are developed based on the GPS-only PPP. The data pre-processing steps include applying satellite orbit and clock corrections, satellite antenna phase offset correction, receiver antenna phase offset correction, differential code bias corrections, troposphere delay corrections and the the Ionosphere-free observation combination is used. The results show that the positioning precision and convergence speed of GPS/BDS combined PPP are improved compared with GPS-only PPP.
