Single point positioning using full and fractional pseudorange measurements from GPS and BDS

25 Nov 2020arXiv:2011.12892archive 2025-07-28

In conventional global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers, usually full pseudorange measurements are required to complete a single point position fix. However, to obtain full pseudorange measurements takes longer time than for fractional pseudorange measurements. Considering such a fact, in order to shorten the time to first fix and improve the position accuracy during cold or warm start of a dual-constellation GNSS receiver, we propose a positioning algorithm using full and fractional pseudorange measurements from the two navigational constellations. This method uses four full pseudorange measurements from one constellation along with fractional ones from either or both constellations to obtain a potentially rapid position result with an identical accuracy to that of the conventional positioning method using full measurements. Tests with simulated and real Global Positioning System (GPS) and BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) data demonstrate that the proposed method can generate correct single point position solutions and the position error is identical with the result from the conventional approach using the full pseudorange measurements.
