GNSS Global Satellite Navigation System
• Originally defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as: “a worldwide position and time determination system
that includes one or more satellite constellations, aircraft receivers and system integrity monitoring, augmented as necessary to support the required navigation performance for the intended operation”
• GNSS = a satellite navigation system • All GNSSs follow the GPS model

Performance Metrics My System is Better than Yours
• Accuracy • Availability of Service • Integrity (or Reliability)
– Can I count on my position estimate to be ‘correct’? • Robustness
– Can the system withstand ‘small’ disturbances? • Security • Challenge:
– Deliver service like a utility: water or power supply – Rigorous, constant maintenance: No screw ups!

GPS has Set High Standards
• Delivers a lot more than promised – Near flawless performance over 20 years
• Made it Look Easy • A Victim of its Own Success?
– Satellites last for ever, no screw-ups – No urgency in Washington re budgets?
• Success Breeds Imitators • Can GPS Remain #1 ?
– Remains to be seen: The race is GPS’ to lose – Not sitting still

GLONASS • History
– Developed by Soviet Union, first launch: 1982 – Declined under Russia, but now revived – Have launched 81 satellites so far
• Constellation – 24 satellites in 3 orbital planes, 64.8º inclination – 19,100 km altitude, 11 ¼ hour period
• Signals – 3 allocated bands: G1 (1602 MHz), G2: (1245
MHz), G3 (1202 MHz) – C/A-like code: 511 chips, 1 ms code period, 50

Marketing a GNSS: You’d Like Our System Better!
– Protecting Domestic Markets, Finding Foreign Markets
– Balance between open trade and Protectionism
– Regulation (A Little Arm Twisting) • Russia’s plan to “require” GLONASS in civil aircraft operating in
its airspace; import tariffs on GNSS receivers that don’t include GLONASS
• China’s plan to “require” transportation operators to use BeiDou
– Political Muscle • Russia agreement with India to promote GLONASS adoption

GPS III • Next generation satellites
– First launch anticipated ~2014
• Potential Block III features (to be phased in incrementally): – New L1 civil (L1C) signal – Increased levels of accuracy, availability, reliability, and integrity – High-speed uplink/downlinks/cross-links – “Spot beam” for military M-code signal
• Longer pseudorandom codes for open signals – Improves cross-correlation performance
• Data-less (pilot) components – Portion of signal energy devoted to component with no navigation
data modulation – Enables more robust tracking
• Advanced modulation schemes – Binary offset carrier and variants
• Robust forward error correction – Convolution encoding, low-density parity check
• More precise navigation data
46

Spectrum Sharing Considerations
• All systems recognize the need for Radio Frequency Compatibility – Technical details for assessment and acceptance still being worked
• Increasing recognition of National Security Compatibility for military or authorized signals – Pioneered by GPS for M code signal – Mimicked by Galileo for PRS – Accepted by IRNSS – Still being discussed with GLONASS and COMPASS
• Interoperability of civil signals with GPS civil signals viewed as benefitting everyone – New systems become useful even with only a few satellites launched – GPS remains the world standard as others mimic it – Users obtain better geometry and availability from more satellites

Summary: Take-Away Points • Satellite navigation systems exploit basic properties of radio waves:
Transit exploited the Doppler effect, GPS exploits the known speed of propagation
• GPS is based on the old idea of trilateration, but implemented with the technology of the second-half of the 20th century: space-based radio transmitters, ultra-stable clocks, and spread spectrum signals
• A GPS receiver measures pseudoranges to the satellites by measuring pseudo-transit times of radio signals. It takes 4 satellites (i.e., 4 pseudoranges) in order to estimate position (x, y, z) and time t
• With a clear view of the sky, it’s easy to get positioning accuracy of several meters with a $100 GPS receiver, or relative positioning accuracy of millimeters with a pair of $1000 receivers.
• GPS satellites are 20-watt transmitters 20,000 km away, so the signals reaching the earth are very weak and, therefore susceptible to interference.
• The success and breadth of GPS applications is attributable largely to “the chip.” The VLSI revolution was well-timed for GPS

• Compatibility – Radio Frequency Compatibility:
no harmful interference among signals
– National Security Compatibility: spectral separation between GPS civil signals and other systems’ signals, and M code
• Interoperability – Two systems are better than
one – Requires attention to signal
