A Comprehensive Analysis of Multi-GNSS Smartphone Signals
摘要
The Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are constellations of navigation satellites, which assist in navigation and positioning applications. GNSS sensors or receivers can be used to acquire positioning data from the satellites and process them to obtain the coordinates of the user’s location. Real-time positioning is essential to provide or avail location-based services, like door delivery, mapping, etc. in smartphones. To achieve this purpose, low-cost GNSS chips are developed and are being used in many smartphones. This research presents a comprehensive analysis of signals from GPS, GLONASS, and NavIC constellations, focusing on the positioning accuracy of available smartphones and geodetic receiver. The required data is collected in single-frequency, dual-frequency supported smartphones and geodetic receiver. Data logging in smartphones is done by GPSTest and GnssLogger applications. The analysis shows the variability in parameters such as east, north, and up errors, dilution of precision (DOP) values, and accuracy parameters of Android smartphones with that of geodetic receiver under static open-sky condition. The DOP values of single-frequency smartphones obtained are better and more stable in terms of variation with time than those of dual-frequency smartphones. The accuracy obtained in single-frequency smartphones (with 2DRMS < 1) is higher than that in dual-frequency smartphones (with 2DRMS > 1).
