The University of New South Wales Performance of Location Determination Techniques in Weak Signal Environments employing Reference Server, Caster, Cellular and Sensor Networks and Multiple Assisted Global Navigation Satellite Systems By Ali Hassan Sarwar A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of New South Wales School of Surveying & Geospatial Engineering 2013 Performance of Location Determination Techniques in Weak Signal Environments employing Reference Server, Caster, Cellular and Sensor Networks and Multiple Assisted Global Navigation Satellite Systems By Ali Hassan Sarwar B.E. University of Engineering and Technology (2003) M.E., University of New South Wales (2005) P.G.D., Macquarie University (2006) A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of New South Wales School of Surveying & Geospatial Engineering 2013 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Sarwar First name: Ali Other name/s: Hassan Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: Ph.D. School: School of Surveying and Geospatial Engineering Faculty: Engineering Title: Performance of Location Determination Techniques in Weak Signal Environments employing Reference Server, Caster, Cellular and Sensor Networks and Multiple Assisted Global Navigation Satellite Systems Abstract Global Navigation Satellite System’s (GNSS) known shortcomings in difficult radio-environments – signal obstructions and jamming vulnerability – could pose significant risks in critical location based services (LBS) applications. Off-the-shelf systems such as ‘Spot Satellite Messenger’ are not compliant for E911 and other emergency response requirements. Despite considerable research and engineering efforts, few techniques have demonstrated promising results. Multiple sensor-based techniques and systems based on Assisted-GNSS (AGNSS) have been proposed in order to improve the performance of stand-alone GNSS. Improved time-to-first-fix (TTFF), system availability and positioning accuracy are the notable performance gains. Many AGNSS techniques employ proprietary protocols which limit further academic research or pre-deployment testing. The Open Source GNSS Reference Server (OSGRS) – on the other hand uses a Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) based stateless GNSS Reference Interface Protocol (GRIP). For the research described in this thesis, a hardware based GNSS receiver was first used to acquire assistance data. Subsequent versions of OSGRS have seen alternative acquisition approaches using numerous GNSS Casters available over Internet Protocol. A variety of data formats are available, hence OSGRSv2 is capable of Multiple Assisted GNSS (MAGNSS). Client and server integration, testing and performance benchmarking against competing technologies appeared promising. The system tracked the highest number of satellites, availability and higher accuracy with low TTFF values. Three configurations of multi- GNSS assistance servers allow flexible operation independent of the presence of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) – a limitation of OSGRSv1. Iteratively, the server has been augmented with Long Term Evolution (LTE) Positioning Protocol (LPP) and the associated extensions (LPPe) to develop the third generation OSGRSv3. Interconnection of multiple networks is provided through Internet Protocol (IP) data control gateways for user-specific information exchange. Assistance Model Portfolio of OSGRSv3 has been expanded with the development of mobile communications interworking criteria. A real network implementation in a controlled mobile network laboratory has been configured. The architecture exploits LTE Radio Access Network (RAN), Transmission, Core and GNSS elements to test the performance of the system. Performance graphs demonstrate that Radio Resource Location Protocol (RRLP) based system lowered the TTFF and improved the satellite availability and positioning accuracy over OSGRSv1 or OSGRSv2. Options of selectively choosing which GNSS to use is managed through a source selector switch. Presence of basic networking infrastructure has been a critical limitation of Multiple Assisted GNSS systems. A low infrastructure strategy to augment GNSS with adhoc Wireless Sensor Nodes (WSN) has been presented. Pre-programmed fixed sensor nodes are deployed in the test area where a rover sensor node is connected to a GNSS-capable mobile device. Based on the received signal strength, signature indices are generated and autonomous proximity calculations of the rover are performed. The localization information is transferred to GNSS via assistance messages. Experiments were conducted to simulate a reduction in navigation search space, competitive TTFF and improved availability and accuracy. Link quality indicators can effectively provide pre-processed frequency offset, range and coordinate assistance in the absence of IP network, in building coverage (IBC) repeaters or GNSS. Stand-alone sensors based localization demonstrated cm-level accuracy, response sensitivity and reliability. System robustness against partial node malfunction in instances of clocking, time syncing, thermal noise, coordinate decoding and processing issues, was observed. Such errors can arbitrarily eventuate in erroneous localization. Reference Server, Caster and Sensor Networks and MAGNSS can provide cost effective alternatives for generic and specific AGNSS localization applications. The contributions of this thesis can be summarized as follows: a. GPS, GNSS, AGNSS, RNSS, SBAS and alternative positioning technologies have been reviewed. Several LBS variants have been investigated and shortcomings listed. Alternative navigation, communication and logging techniques have been suggested to BWRS, NSW Police and the VRA. SPOT GNSS Messenger has been performance evaluated. Architecture for a Multiple Sensor based hybrid Multi-GNSS has been developed. b. An NTRIP capable OSGRS has been developed. System efficiency has been improved and the system has been integrated with an IP and mobile data network. Several configurations of the OSGRS have been developed to suit varying scenarios. Such configurations have been performance tested and benchmarked. c. OSGRSv3 has been developed by upgrading the previous version of server. The system has been augmented with SMLC, GMLC, RRLP 3GPP LPP and OMA LPPe functionality. Performance of the OSGRSv3 vis-à-vis the OSGRSv2 has been evaluated. The design and architecture of the OSGRSv4 has been developed. d. An autonomous positioning method employing the WSN-enabled AGNSS has been developed and tested. The stand-alone WSN-based positioning method which can mitigate the associated communication, energy-cycle and radio limitations has been developed and employed to benchmark the WSN-enabled AGNSS.

    BACHELOR THESIS Mobile advertising and marketing A study of how location-based services is developing the mobile advertising eco-system and its business models Sixten Sidfeldt Bachelor of Science Industrial and Management Engineering Luleå University of Technology Department of Business Administration, Technology and Social Sciences ABSTRACT Purpose The goal of this research study was to examine the current state of mobile marketing and advertising. With focus on how location-based services currently transforms the mobile advertising ecosystem and its associated business models. Method The research study was conducted in association with different market leading industry actors, residing from diverse ends of the mobile advertising value-chain. This provided a broader spectrum for the study and the research questions sought answers to. The gathered empirical data was compared with existing theories providing possibility for further analysis and ultimately to draw conclusions for the research questions. Conclusion The research study concluded that location-based services will play a pivotal role in the coming years for mobile marketing and advertisement, both from the application perspective but also from mobile search integration. The market of location-based advertising is currently in an early stage, but shows high growth potential. The research study also concluded that location-based advertising follows the theories of regular mobile advertising, with the main exception that everything revolves around location. This provided difficulties for the parties involved, since location adds geodata that can that enable identification of specific end-users, as in the location gate scandal. To overcome this dilemma actors clearly- and openly reveal their strategy, on geodata harvesting.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALGARY New Enhanced Sensitivity Detection
    UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY New Enhanced Sensitivity Detection Techniques for GPS L1 C/A and Modernized Signal Acquisition by Surendran K. Shanmugam A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF GEOMATICS ENGINEERING CALGARY, ALBERTA January, 2008 c Surendran K. Shanmugam 2008 ISBN: 978-0-494-38222-6 Abstract Throughout history, there has been a constant effort to master the art of navigation for its importance in trade and commerce. Even today, this pursuit of better navigation is still active for its continual impact in various fields. In the last decade, the navigation field witnessed drastic changes with the advent of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) in the form of the global positioning system (GPS). This decade is currently witnessing the expansion of its scope far beyond its traditional focus. On the other hand, these expansions has brought upon new challenges to the current GPS system that were never encountered before. Hence, the legacy GPS system is expected to overcome some stern impediments inherent to these new applications for its continual dominance. For instance, massive signal attenuation, radio frequency interference (RFI) and multipath readily represents, the axis of evil, in the view point of GPS operations as applied to these new applications. More specifically, massive signal attenuation and RFI conditions poses a grave difficulty in terms of traditional GPS operations. Subsequently, one has to resort to enhanced sensitivity GPS receivers for successful GPS operations under these adverse signal conditions. A number of detection algorithms have been utilized to permit successful GPS operations under degraded signal environments.

  • User Guide for Egnos Application Developers
    USER GUIDE FOR EGNOS APPLICATION DEVELOPERS ED 2.0, 15/12/2011 Preface After more than 10 years of development and qualification efforts bringing together actors from across the European continent, including project teams, industrial teams, and operators, for the first time Europe has at its disposal a GNSS infrastructure which delivers, on a permanent basis and according to international civil aviation standards, a satellite navigation service covering much of the continent. For all space sector participants, it is extremely gratifying to see a programme having origina- ted in research and development leaving the space agency sphere and entering into the world of services addressed at a vast community of users. After telecommunications, meteorology, oceanography, search and rescue and Earth observation, we are now seeing the emergence of a new area of operational space activity, which clearly illustrates the unique and essential contribution space can make to citizens. The success of a development activity is a crucial step on the way to the success of a pro- gramme. For it to become a total success, efforts must now focus on ensuring that users, in all application areas, can obtain easy access to services, making those services straightforward to use and, of course, on guaranteeing quality of service over time. This guide is designed to acquaint the user with the system and to provide the essential tech- nical information that users and application developers require if they are to make the best possible use of EGNOS. CNES, the European Space Agency and the European Commission are proud to have contri- buted to the development of the EGNOS system, and thank all participants in this effort, both public and industrial, for their contributions to and support for the programme.

  • LTE Location Based Services Technology Introduction White Paper
    LTE Location Based Services Technology Introduction White paper LTE Location Based Services (LBS) involve the process of determining where a device is located. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) based solutions are highly accurate and the technology of choice for absolute position accuracy, providing the device has a good line-of-sight, but this is not always the case. A device can be in a highly dense urban environment with reduced satellite visibility or indoors with very low signal levels. These limitations of GNSS systems have meant that LTE cellular based alternatives have been developed within 3GPP Release 9 and onwards. They are described in this white paper. .02/ CI 01.00 3573.7380 Template: 1SP05 J. Schütz J.
