Observability Analysis of Receiver Localization via Pseudorange Measurements From a Single LEO Satellite

Ralph Sabbagh et al.

Summary: This letter presents an observability analysis for terrestrial receiver localization using pseudorange measurements from a single low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite. It is shown that a stationary receiver with unknown state can theoretically localize itself using a LEO satellite with known state. Bounds on the determinant of the I-step observability matrix are derived and geometric interpretations are provided, indicating directions of poor observability. The implications of the analysis on observability-aided LEO satellite selection are discussed.

LEO Doppler-aided GNSS position estimation

Muyuan Jiang et al.

Summary: This article presents an aided joint position algorithm that utilizes LEO Doppler and pseudorange/doppler measurements from GNSS to track the position, clock bias, and clock drift of the receiver. The sensitivity of positioning accuracy to different measurement errors and the impact of LEO orbit errors on positioning accuracy are analyzed. The relationship between the Cramer-Rao bound and position error is also presented. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that with a specific combination of satellites, the positioning accuracy can reach several hundred meters to kilometers and has the potential for improvement.
