研究目的
To present an end-to-end performance assessment of Fast-PPP in near-maximum Solar Cycle conditions, from the accuracy of the Central Processing Facility corrections to the user positioning, and to propose a metric to evaluate the quality of any ionospheric model for Global Navigation Satellite System.
研究成果
Fast-PPP significantly reduces the convergence time for dual-frequency users and improves accuracy for single-frequency users under medium to high solar flux conditions. The technique is safely bounded under protection levels of the order of 3.5 and 1.0 m for single- and dual-frequency navigation, respectively.
研究不足
The study is conducted under near-maximum Solar Cycle conditions, and the performance under ionospheric storms or severe scintillations is not assessed. The interpolation error from the ionospheric model to the user's actual Ionospheric Pierce Points (IPPs) may degrade the results.
