[0036] An improved Klobuchar model is used to correct the ionospheric delay error in the satellite positioning system, including refitting the broadcast parameters using the high-density CORS station data in the Chinese region and performing least squares optimization using historical GNSS TEC observation data.
[0037] Specifically, the Klobuchar model is used to estimate the ionospheric delay of GNSS users. Its core is to model the delay through 8 broadcast parameters (4 α and 4 β):
[0038] Ionospheric delay (vertical delay):
[0039]
[0040] in:
[0041] F=1+16(0.53-E) 3 is the slope factor (mapping function);

[0045] E is the elevation angle of the ionospheric penetration point;
[0046] The vertical total electron content (VTEC) data obtained from the CORS stations in China are used to perform fitting for a certain period of time. The fitting goal is to minimize the sum of squared residuals between the model estimates and the measured values.
[0047] For each moment i, the measured VTEC is VTEC i , the model prediction value is:
[0048]
[0049] The above formula is expressed as a nonlinear function f(α, β, t i ,φ m,i , E i );
[0050] The objective function is:
[0051]
[0052] in:
[0053] α=[α0, α1, α2, α3];
[0054] β=[β0, β1, β2, β3];
[0055] The nonlinear least squares problem is considered and the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is used to solve it iteratively.
[0056] Define the residual:
[0057] r i =VTEC i -f(α, β, t i ,φ m,i , E i )
[0058] Construct the Jacobian matrix J, find partial derivatives of α and β respectively, and iteratively update the parameter vector:
[0059] δ=(J T J) -1 J T r

[0063] Specifically, step S4 also includes: the monitoring results are displayed in real time through the early warning platform, and the deformation dynamic trend diagram of the monitoring area can be obtained in real time based on the monitoring results, so as to adjust the layout density of the monitoring sites and optimize the transmission network.
[0064] All monitoring stations and the reference station are synchronized based on a unified time reference provided by the GNSS system.
[0065] Example 2
[0066] A monitoring system for implementing the monitoring method based on GNSS distributed solution described in Example 1, comprising: Figure 2 The reference station and early warning platform are communicatively connected, and multiple monitoring stations are communicatively connected to the reference station.
[0067] Example 3
[0068] This embodiment is a specific implementation of Example 1;
[0069] The monitoring technology approach of the GNSS distributed solution monitoring system is centered on static baseline solution. Combining distributed networks and multi-node collaboration, it constructs a real-time, high-precision deformation monitoring system. Multiple GNSS monitoring nodes (monitoring stations) are deployed within the monitoring area. These nodes consist of high-precision GNSS receivers, antennas, and communication modules, providing stable and accurate reference coordinates for the deployed base stations. The base stations collect GNSS data in real time and transmit it to each monitoring node via wireless communication (LORA). The monitoring nodes combine their own observation data with that of the base stations to perform error correction (including ionospheric delay, tropospheric delay, multipath effects, relativistic effects, Earth tides, Earth rotation, etc.), and calculate three-dimensional displacement in real time. This data is transmitted back to the base stations via LORA, and the base stations report the data to the early warning platform in real time via 4G communication.
[0070] To improve system efficiency, the monitoring solution supports edge computing and centralized data fusion. Each node performs preliminary calculations locally and transmits key data back to the base station via LoRa according to the preset upload frequency. The base station then reports the data in real time to the early warning platform via 4G communication. The early warning platform analyzes displacement trends and dynamic changes. Furthermore, the system integrates anomaly detection and early warning functions, leveraging historical data and real-time observations to quickly identify abnormal deformations and provide real-time warnings for geological disasters, landslides, and ground subsidence.
[0071] To optimize positioning algorithm efficiency and reduce modeling time, a more efficient ionospheric correction method was developed. The Klobuchar model was modified to improve its ionospheric delay correction accuracy over China. The Klobuchar model input is based on eight broadcast parameters, which are derived from global ionospheric characteristics and do not fully reflect the ionospheric characteristics of China. Therefore, the broadcast parameters were refitted using high-density CORS station data over China, and a least-squares optimization was performed using historical GNSS TEC observations.
[0072] This technical solution offers high precision, high real-time performance, flexible station deployment, and strong robustness, making it suitable for scenarios such as large-scale geological monitoring, deformation observation of engineering facilities, and research on earthquake fault activity. Furthermore, through its modular design, the system boasts excellent scalability, allowing for increased node density or monitoring range as needed, creating a monitoring network with wider coverage and greater adaptability.
[0073] Specifically, this system not only includes high-precision real-time positioning and error correction, but also covers all aspects of data transmission, processing, and analysis, ensuring that deformation over large areas can be efficiently and accurately monitored. The system relies on static baseline solution technology and provides an efficient and reliable monitoring method through the collaborative work of multiple GNSS monitoring nodes and base stations.
[0074] (1) GNSS signal reception and data collection
[0075] Monitoring Node Deployment: The system deploys multiple GNSS monitoring nodes within the monitoring area, capable of receiving multi-frequency signals from satellites. Base stations, located in known locations, primarily provide reference data, ensuring accuracy for the entire monitoring network.
[0076] Signal acquisition: Monitoring nodes and base stations receive signals from satellites such as the Global Positioning Satellite System (GPS), Beidou Satellite System (BDS), GLONASS, and Galileo, and obtain positioning data through pseudorange measurement and carrier phase measurement.
[0077] (2) Data transmission and synchronization
[0078] Communication method: The base station transmits carrier phase observations and known base station coordinates to all monitoring nodes in real time via LoRa. After the monitoring nodes solve the data, they transmit the results back to the base station via LoRa according to the preset upload frequency. The base station then reports the results to the early warning platform in real time via 4G communication.
[0079] Time synchronization: GNSS system time synchronization is critical. All nodes and base stations are synchronized based on the unified time reference provided by the GNSS system to ensure time consistency between each node and the warning platform, thereby ensuring the accuracy of deformation solution results.
[0080] (3) Data processing and deformation calculation
[0081] Real-time positioning solution: The monitoring node combines the carrier phase observation value of the base station, the known coordinate information of the base station and its own observation data to perform real-time dynamic positioning through static baseline solution, achieving millimeter-level accuracy and calculating the three-dimensional displacement data of each node in real time. These data are then uploaded to the early warning platform.
[0082] (4) Abnormal analysis and early warning
[0083] Deformation analysis: Based on the deformation data obtained in real time, the system uses time series analysis and anomaly detection algorithms to analyze the deformation trend of the monitored area. It can discover local abnormal deformation trends and provide a basis for subsequent early warning.
[0084] Warning release: When abnormal deformation exceeding the set threshold is detected, the system will trigger the warning mechanism and push warning information to users in real time to remind them of possible geological disasters.
[0085] (5) User visualization and feedback
[0086] Real-time display: The monitoring results can be displayed in real time through the early warning platform, and users can clearly see the deformation dynamic trend chart of the monitored area.
[0087] Feedback and Adjustment: Based on the monitoring results, users can adjust the density of monitoring sites, optimize the transmission network, etc., to further improve the accuracy and responsiveness of the monitoring system, and ensure that the system can maintain efficient monitoring even under complex geological conditions.
[0088] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
