Space State Representation Corrections as an Aid in Pseudolite Positioning.

In the presented study, the authors deal with the problem of transmission of pseudolite coordinates to the receiver. Nowadays, there is no uniquely specified method that would provide data about the position of the pseudolite to the GNSS receiver. There is also no technical standard that defines the explicit way of performing such transmission. Solutions presented in the literature are usually tailored to the described system, which is then suited to the specific situation. The article shows that the universal methods, involving the modification of transmitted broadcast ephemeris data, cannot be universally used. The modifications could not have been introduced due to the low resolution of the quantities that are transmitted in the ephemeris data, in relation to the values that would have to be sent by the pseudolite. To overcome the implementation problems, the authors propose two solutions. The first solution presented is the modification of the RTCM SSR frame. This approach allows replacing one of the existing satellites in space with the pseudolite, while the second method involves the use of new RTCM frame for sending the pseudolite position. Finally, a numerical example of the proposed solutions is presented. At the end of the manuscript, their advantages and implementation possibilities are discussed.
