GNSS and Inertial Navigation

• NATIVE-SSR (Native navigation system with SSR corrections for high-precision GNSS positioning)

  This project aims to implement two different approaches for native support of State Space Representation (SSR) correction data in GNSS receivers. First, the SSR format will be converted to the Observation Space Representation (OSR) format and then made available to the receiver. Second, a method will be implemented to process SSR correction data directly within the GNSS receiver and to correct the generated position solution directly. This project is being carried out in cooperation with RFmondial GmbH.

• Collaborative Navigation for Smart Cities (GRK 2159)

  Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) is the only navigation sensor that provides absolute positioning. However, urban areas form the most challenging environment for GNSS to achieve a reliable position. Because of the reduced satellite visibility and disturbed signal propagation like diffraction and multipath, the resulting position has a reduced accuracy and availability. The overall research objective of this project is to reduce these shortcomings through collaboration. Therefore, similarity of multipath at different locations within streets will be studied.
