Abstract

Since SBAS provides users with GNSS orbit, clock, and ionospheric corrections and integrity, the more precise positioning is possible. As the SBAS service area is expanded due to the development of the SBAS and the installation of the additional ground stations, there is a region where two or more SBAS messages can be received. However, the research on multi-constellation SBAS selection method has not carried out. In this study, we compared the result of positioning accuracy after applying the SBAS correction selected by using WAAS priority, EGNOS priority, or error covariance comparison method to LEO satellites in the regions where WAAS and EGNOS signals are transmitted simultaneously. When using WAAS priority method, 3D orbit error is smallest at 2.57 m. The covariance comparison method is outperform at the center of the overlap region far from each WAAS and EGNOS stations. In the eastern region near the EGNOS stations, the 3D orbit errors using EGNOS priority method is 8% smaller than the errors using the WAAS priority method.

SBAS는 실시간으로 사용자에게 GNSS 궤도 및 시계, 전리층 보정정보와 이에 대한 무결성정보를 제공하여 SBAS 사용 시 정밀한 위치추정이 가능하다. 각 국의 SBAS 개발 및 추가 지상관측소 설치로 SBAS 서비스 영역이 확대됨에 따라 2개의 SBAS 서비스 영역이 겹쳐 다중 SBAS 신호가 수신되는 영역이 존재하는데, 이에 대한 신호 선택 방법에 관한 연구는 진행되지 않았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 WAAS와 EGNOS 정보가 동시에 전송되는 영역에서 WAAS 정보 우선 사용 방법, EGNOS 정보 우선 사용 방법, 그리고 보정정보 오차 공분산 비교 선택 방법을 사용하여 저궤도위성에 SBAS 정보를 적용한 후 위치추정 결과를 비교하였다. WAAS 정보를 우선으로 사용할 때 3D 위치오차는 2.57 m로 가장 작았으며, 오차 공분산 비교 방법을 사용했을 경우에는 WAAS와 EGNOS의 관측소와 가장 먼 중첩 영역 중심에서 위치추정 정확도가 가장 높았다. EGNOS 정보를 우선 사용 시 중첩 영역의 EGNOS와 가까운 동쪽 지역에서 WAAS 우선 사용 방법보다 위치오차가 8% 더 작았다.
