GNSS MEASUREMENT PROCESSING TO IDENTIFY MODES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240012163 titled 'GNSS MEASUREMENT PROCESSING TO IDENTIFY MODES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and apparatus for processing GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) measurements, specifically carrier phase measurements. The method involves defining a state vector with state variables and obtaining a posterior probability density for the state vector. This probability density is based on non-Gaussian residual error models for the GNSS measurements. A systematic search is then performed on the posterior probability density to identify a set of modes of the probability density.

  • The patent application proposes a method for processing GNSS measurements using carrier phase measurements.
  • The method involves defining a state vector with state variables.
  • A posterior probability density for the state vector is obtained based on non-Gaussian residual error models for the GNSS measurements.
  • A systematic search is performed on the posterior probability density to identify a set of modes of the probability density.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Precise positioning and navigation systems that rely on GNSS measurements.
  • Autonomous vehicles that require accurate and reliable GNSS data for navigation.
  • Surveying and mapping applications that require high-precision GNSS measurements.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Overcoming the limitations of Gaussian error models for GNSS measurements, which may not accurately represent the true error distribution.
  • Improving the accuracy and reliability of GNSS measurements by incorporating non-Gaussian residual error models.
  • Enhancing the performance of GNSS-based positioning and navigation systems in challenging environments with multipath and signal interference.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy and reliability of GNSS measurements, leading to more precise positioning and navigation.
  • Enhanced performance of GNSS-based systems in challenging environments, resulting in better overall system performance.
  • Increased confidence in the integrity of GNSS measurements, reducing the risk of errors and potential safety hazards.
