Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of satellite navigation, and particularly relates to a method and system for GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) partial ambiguity fixing based on element-by-element ratio test. Background Art
[0002] Integer ambiguity fixing is an important technology for high-precision GNSS data processing, which can effectively improve the accuracy of GNSS positioning, satellite orbit determination, etc. In recent years, GNSS has been developing increasingly maturely. The number of observable satellites for users is increasing, and the satellite geometric configuration has been significantly improved. However, at the same time, the ambiguity dimension has also increased greatly, bringing challenges to the overall fast and reliable fixing. High-speed moving carriers such as vehicles, aircraft, and low-earth orbit satellites have high requirements for positioning real-time performance. The inability to quickly solve and fix high-dimensional ambiguities may reduce the overall performance of the system or even lead to system failure. Constructing a fast and effective ambiguity fixing method is the key to solving high-precision real-time GNSS positioning.
[0003] Partial ambiguity fixing is an effective means to solve the problem of high-dimensional ambiguity fixing. By fixing some of the elements rather than all of them, the positioning result can be improved. Compared with the integer ambiguity fixing strategy of accepting or rejecting all ambiguities completely, partial ambiguity fixing can exclude the influence of poorly qualified ambiguity elements on the whole, only fix reliable ambiguity elements, and is more flexible to use. Moreover, the number of ambiguity elements to be fixed is less, and the timeliness is higher. However, in the high-dimensional ambiguity scenario, the overall search of ambiguities takes a long time, and the computing power consumption is even more severe when using iterative strategies to eliminate / select some ambiguity elements, making it difficult to meet the requirements of real-time high-precision positioning. At the same time, the correlation between ambiguity elements is strong, and the reliability judgment of a single ambiguity element is easily affected by the remaining elements, making it difficult to select an effective subset of ambiguities. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a partial ambiguity fixing method that not only does not require iterative search to reduce the time-consuming of ambiguity fixing, but also can reliably screen the elements of the ambiguity subset.

When the combination of technical solutions conflicts with each other or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the present invention.
[0038] The embodiment of the present invention provides a GNSS partial ambiguity fixing method based on element-by-element ratio test. First, the floating-point solutions of GNSS integer ambiguity parameters and other real parameters are obtained by using real number least squares estimation to solve the constructed GNSS mixed integer parameter estimation model; then, the element-by-element ratio test method is used to select the ambiguity subset that meets the element-by-element ratio test index to obtain reliable floating-point ambiguities; finally, the obtained floating-point ambiguities are fixed to integer ambiguities, and the fixed solutions of other real parameters are updated.
[0039] Specifically, when constructing the GNSS mixed integer parameter estimation model, the GNSS observation equation is written in a linear form:
[0040] ,
[0041] where, represents an m-dimensional observation vector; represents an n-dimensional integer parameter to be estimated; Denote the m-dimensional real-valued parameter to be estimated; the design matrix and are full-rank matrices determined by the observations; is the observation noise, which follows a zero-mean Gaussian distribution when the observation model is accurate, and its variance-covariance matrix can be written as .
[0042] According to the application scenario and positioning mode, the GNSS observations can be carrier phase observations in the form of undifferenced, single-differenced, double-differenced, etc. At this time represents the integer ambiguity or its linear combination, can refer to other real-valued parameters to be estimated such as station coordinates / baseline vectors, satellite clock biases, receiver clock biases, ionospheric parameters, tropospheric parameters, etc.
[0043] Solve the above model according to the following steps:
[0044] (1) Ignoring the integer nature of the integer parameters, solve using a real-valued least squares estimator to obtain the parameters to be estimated and :
[0045]
[0046] where , , . and The two orthogonal projection matrices in and are written as:
[0047]
[0048] where represents the m-dimensional identity matrix.
[0049] The obtained parameters and follow a Gaussian distribution, written as:
[0050]
[0051] represents the variance-covariance matrix between elements, represents the variance-covariance matrix between elements, , represents the variance-covariance matrix between the parameters and and are transposes of each other.
[0052] (2) The floating-point ambiguity Mapped to corresponding integers through an integer estimator , the projection function is denoted as , where . . The ambiguity fixing process is written as:
[0053]
[0054] (3) Taking as the prior value, update the parameter , and obtain :
[0055]
[0056] , , represent a p-dimensional real vector, an n-dimensional real vector, and an m-dimensional integer vector respectively.
[0057] The obtained real vector is the fixed solution.
[0058] In the embodiment of the present invention, the GNSS partial ambiguity fixing process further includes constructing an integer least squares optimal solution.
[0059] Since the parameter estimation can be fixed to any integer vector through the projection function , first define the optimal solution. Solved using the real least squares criterion, the objective function can be written as:
[0060]
[0061] The above extreme value problem has been proven to be convertible to an integer least squares problem, and the solution criterion is , written as (XU P, CANNON E, LACHAPELLE G. Mixed integer programming for the resolution of GPS carrier phase ambiguities [M], IUGG95 Assembly; 1995, Boulder: 2-14):
[0062]
[0063] where , that is, the Mahalanobis Distance. Denote the number field satisfying the above condition as , then for any real vector , except for the unique integer vector All other integer vectors have a Mahalanobis distance to this real vector greater than the Mahalanobis distance to this real vector, that is:
[0064]
[0065] At this time, this integer vector is called the optimal solution. At the same time, a sub-optimal solution is defined, that is, except the integer vector with the second smallest Mahalanobis distance to any real vector .
[0066] In the embodiment of the present invention, the GNSS partial ambiguity fixing process further includes constructing a GNSS partial ambiguity fixing projection function .
[0067] For the n-dimensional ambiguity , the ambiguity fixing solution obtained by the projection function is the fixing of all ambiguities, while the partial ambiguity fixing means only fixing some elements in. Define the ambiguity number set as a subset of, represents the ambiguity set corresponding to the subset number, and the corresponding floating-point solution and fixed solution are respectively represented as and , and the projection function for partial ambiguity fixing is represented as ; using the domain to give the definition of the projection function :
[0068] ,
[0069] That is, the domain contains any , where obtains an integer vector through the action of the partial ambiguity fixing projection function . Through describing the relationship between the n-dimensional integer ambiguity and the floating-point ambiguity , we can get:
[0070] .
[0071] Among them, the ambiguity vector of the fixed partial ambiguity elements can be written as an improvement to the real vector :
[0072]
[0073]
[0074] Fixing different ambiguity subsets Fixing the real number fixed solution has different effects. The more ambiguities are fixed, the higher the accuracy of the fixed solution, but the reliability of the fixed ambiguity will also be affected. Therefore, a corresponding test method needs to be constructed to determine the ambiguity subset to be fixed.
[0075] The element-by-element ratio test method described in the embodiments of the present invention, that is, the construction of the element-by-element ratio test index and the subset selection method are as follows. The classical ratio test method controls the quality of the optimal solution by setting the empirical threshold of the Mahalanobis distance ratio of the optimal solution and the sub-optimal solution. If the threshold requirement cannot be met, the fixed solution is considered unreliable, and all integer ambiguity elements are discarded, and the accuracy of the floating-point solution cannot be further improved. The element-by-element ratio test method proposed by the present invention determines the reliability of the ambiguity elements one by one, thereby constructing an ambiguity subset selection method to achieve partial ambiguity fixing.
[0076] Specifically, while obtaining the optimal ambiguity solution , obtain the sub-optimal solution for all single ambiguity elements , that is the Mahalanobis distance between the i-th element in all integer ambiguity alternative groups in and the i-th element of the floating-point ambiguity is the closest. If the Mahalanobis distance between the i-th element in multiple alternative groups and the i-th element of the floating-point ambiguity is the same, select the alternative group with the smallest Mahalanobis distance between as the sub-optimal solution. Thus, a total of n groups of ratio test relationships between the sub-optimal and optimal solutions for the i-th element are constructed, so as to realize the quality control of individual ambiguity elements and serve as the basis for subset selection.
[0077] Define the ambiguity subset in the following way:
[0078]
[0079] The above formula is the element-by-element ratio test method constructed by the invention, where represents a sub-optimal ambiguity alternative group, and the i-th element in this alternative group cannot be the same as the i-th element in the optimal solution, and in addition, it satisfies the condition of the smallest Mahalanobis distance.
[0080] Please refer to Figure 1, in the embodiment of the present invention, taking the real-time precise orbit determination of the GRACE-D satellite as an example, a method for fixing GNSS partial ambiguities based on element-by-element ratio test is provided, which specifically includes the following steps:
[0081] Step 1, establish the observation equation for the real-time precise orbit determination of the GRACE-D satellite, and obtain the floating-point solutions of the GNSS integer ambiguity parameters and the floating-point solutions of the GRACE-D satellite orbit and receiver clock error parameters , and at the same time obtain the variance-covariance matrix between the integer ambiguity parameters and other parameters .
[0082] Step 2, use the element-by-element ratio test method disclosed in the present invention, input and , select the ambiguity subset that meets the element-by-element ratio test index , and finally obtain a reliable ambiguity vector . .
[0083] Step 3, fix the floating-point ambiguity to the integer ambiguity , then update other real parameters , obtain the fixed solutions of the real parameters , and update their variance-covariance information , thereby obtaining the fixed solutions for the real-time precise orbit determination of the final low-earth orbit satellite.
