MLAMBDA: a modified LAMBDA method for integer least-squares estimation
نویسنده
چکیده
The least-squares ambiguity Decorrelation (LAMBDA) method has been widely used in GNSS for fixing integer ambiguities. It can also solve any integer least squares (ILS) problem arising from other applications. For real time applications with high dimensions, the computational speed is crucial. A modified LAMBDA (MLAMBDA) method is presented. Several strategies are proposed to reduce the computational complexity of the LAMBDA method. Numerical simulations show that MLAMBDA is (much) faster than LAMBDA. The relations between the LAMBDA method and some relevant methods in the information theory literature are pointed out when we introduce its main procedures.

متن کاملInteger Ambiguity Estimation with the Lambda Method
High precision relative GPS positioning is based on the very precise carrier phase measurements. In order to achieve high precision results within a short observation time span, the integer nature of the GPS double difference ambiguities has to be exploited. In this contribution we concentrate on the integer ambiguity estimation, which is one of the steps in the procedure for parameter estimati...
متن کاملFast Positioning Using the Lambda-method
Ambiguity resolution is essential for precise GPS diffe rential positioning. At the IAG General Meeting in Beijing 1993 [1], a new method for fast integer ambiguity estimation has been introduced. Some aspects of the theory have been reviewed at the DSNS 94 conference [2]. The LAMBDA-method, which stands for Least-squares AMBiguity Decorrelation Adj ustment, first decorrelates the ambiguities a...
متن کاملA Comparison of TCAR, CIR and LAMBDA GNSS Ambiguity Resolution
With the envisioned introduction of three-carrier GNSS’s (modernized GPS, Galileo), new methods of ambiguity resolution have been developed. In this contribution we will compare two important candidate methods for triplefrequency ambiguity resolution with the already existing LAMBDA (Least-squares Ambiguity Decorrelation Adjustment) method: the TCAR (Three-Carrier Ambiguity Resolution) method, ...
