GPS World - Centimeter-Accuracy Indoor Navigation Using GPS-Like Pseudolites
نویسندگان
چکیده
using pseudolites Use of GPS pseudolites now makes it possible to apply GPS navigation in an indoor environment. A pseudolite is a signal generator that transmits GPS-like signals to nearby users. In the United States, interest in pseudolite-based indoor navigation stems in part from imminent implementation of new automatic location capability in mobile cellular phones socalled Enhanced 911 or E911 required by a new Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rule.

GPS/Pseudolite/SDINS Integration Approach for Kinematic Applications
This paper discusses the introduction of pseudolites (ground-based GPS-like signal transmitters) in existing integrated GPS/INS systems in order to provide higher availability, integrity and accuracy in a local area. Even though integrated GPS/INS systems can overcome inherent drawbacks of each component system (line-ofsight requirement for GPS, and INS errors that grow with time), performance ...
متن کاملMars Exploration Using Self-Calibrating Pseudolite Arrays
Future Mars rover missions will require greatly enhanced navigational capabilities over those possessed by Mars Path nder. The centimeter-level accuracy required for these missions makes GPS a natural candidate for any future integrated navigation system. Because there are no GPS satellites around Mars, navigation will require the use of pseudolites. The Aerospace Robotics Lab at Stanford is de...
متن کاملA New Pseudolite-Based Positioning Technology For High Precision Indoor and Outdoor Positioning
A real-time positioning technology that can operate indoors and outside anywhere in the world, with sub-cm accuracy, and at low cost, is the ultimate goal for many researchers. GPS can achieve cmlevel kinematic positioning accuracy, but with some major constraints. First and foremost the use of GPS signals for indoor positioning poses very difficult challenges, due to the very weak signal level...
متن کاملFlight Test of a Gps/ins/pseudolite Integrated System for Airborne Mapping
Carrier phase based DGPS systems have been used for airborne mapping for many years. Integrated GPS/INS systems are also becoming popular in order to improve the positioning accuracy, system reliability and achieve direct geo-referencing. However, this approach is limited by the current GPS constellation. Further improvement is required to achieve centimetre level positioning accuracy, which be...
متن کاملA Pseudolite-Based Positioning System for Legacy GNSS Receivers
The ephemeris data format of legacy GPS receivers is improper for positioning stationary pseudolites on the ground. Therefore, to utilize pseudolites for navigation, GPS receivers must be modified so that they can handle the modified data formats of the pseudolites. Because of this problem, the practical use of pseudolites has so far been limited. This paper proposes a pseudolite-based position...
