顾及NLOS信号的多路径误差削弱方法研究

Research on Multipath Error Mitigation Method Considering NLOS Signals

  • 摘要: 多路径误差是全球卫星导航系统(global navigation satellite system, GNSS)精密数据处理中的主要误差源之一,非直射(non line of sight, NLOS)信号与多路径信号具有不同的信号特性,在厘米至毫米级别的GNSS定位中可能导致显著的误差。然而目前针对载波相位观测值的多路径误差改正方法,均未对两者进行有效区分。本文通过3D点云数据检测静态测站处的NLOS载波信号,评估了半天球格网点模型(multi-point hemispherical grid model, MHGM)对多路径和NLOS信号的削弱效果,并在原有MHGM的基础上进一步提出剔除NLOS信号的多路径误差建模改进策略。在本文的实验中,模糊度固定时段内的双差残差统计显示,MHGM对多路径和NLOS误差分别有73.5%和81.2%的削弱,但MHGM改正后NLOS观测值的精度仍然显著低于多路径观测值。在将NLOS信号在多路径误差建模和应用阶段进行剔除之后,模糊度固定时段内载波相位双差观测值残差的RMS进一步降低,相比不剔除NLOS时提升了8.8%。动态定位测试表明:在多系统和可用卫星数量充足的情况下,MHGM对定位结果三维精度有68.6%的提升,而采用剔除NLOS信号的MHGM,此时三维定位精度的改善率可以达到76.0%。

     

    Abstract: Objectives: Multipath error is one of the main error sources in high-precision global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data processing. Non line of sight (NLOS) signal and multipath have different characteristics, which may lead to significant errors in centimeter to millimeter GNSS positioning. However, the current multipath error mitigation methods for carrier phase observations do not effectively distinguish them. Methods: In this paper, the NLOS signals of carrier phase observations at the static station are detected by using 3D point cloud data, and the correction effect of multi-point hemispherical grid model (MHGM) on multipath and NLOS is evaluated. Based on the original MHGM, an improved multipath error modeling strategy to eliminate NLOS signals is further proposed. Results: In the experiments, the statistics of double-differenced residuals in the ambiguity-fixed periods show that MHGM can mitigate the multipath and NLOS errors by 73.5% and 81.2% respectively, but the accuracy of NLOS affected observations after MHGM correction is still significantly lower than that of multipath observations. After the NLOS signal is eliminated in the multipath error modeling and application stage, the RMS of double-differenced residuals in the ambiguity-fixed periods is further reduced, and it is increased by 8.8% compared with the absence of NLOS. Kinematic positioning results show that under the condition of multiple systems and sufficient number of available satellites, MHGM can improve the three-dimensional accuracy of positioning results by 68.6%, while using MHGM with NLOS signals eliminated, the improvement rate can reach 76.0%. Conclusions: It shows that MHGM with NLOS elimination has better correction effect on multipath error, and can achieve a higher positioning accuracy in complex environment.
