9 Differential GPS
9.1 INTRODUCTION
Differential GPS (DGPS) is a technique for reducing the error in GPS-derived positions by using additional data from a reference GPS receiver at a known position. The most common form of DGPS involves determining the combined effects of navigation message ephemeris and satellite clock errors [including the effects of selective availability (SA), if active] at a reference station and transmitting pseudorange corrections, in real time, to a user`s receiver. The receiver applies the corrections in the process of determining its position [63]. This results in the following:
Some error sources are canceled completely: (a) selective availability and
(b) satellite ephemeris and clock errors.
With other error sources, cancelation degrades with distance: (a) ionospheric delay error and
(b) tropospheric delay error.
Still other error sources are not canceled at all: (a) multipath errors and
(b) receiver errors.

9.2 LADGPS, WADGPS, AND WAAS
9.2.1 Description of Local-Area DGPS (LADGPS)
LADGPS is a form of DGPS in which the user`s GPS receiver receives real-time pseudorange and, possibly, carrier phase corrections from a reference receiver generally located within the line of sight. The corrections account for the combined effects of navigation message ephemeris and satellite clock errors (including the effects of SA) and, usually, atmospheric propagation delay errors at the reference station. With the assumption that these errors are also common to the measurements made by the user`s receiver, the application of the corrections will result in more accurate coordinates [81].
9.2.2 Description of Wide-Area DGPS (WADGPS)
WADGPS is a form of DGPS in which the user`s GPS receiver receives corrections determined from a network of reference stations distributed over awide geographical area. Separate corrections are usually determined for speci®c error sources, such as satellite clock, ionospheric propagation delay, and ephemeris. The corrections are applied in the user`s receiver or attached computer in computing the receiver`s coordinates. The corrections are typically supplied in real time by way of a geostationary communications satellite or through a network of ground-based transmitters. Corrections may also be provided at a later date for post-processing collected data [81].
9.2.3 Description of Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS)
WAAS enhances the GPS SPS and is available over a wide geographical area. The WAAS being developed by the Federal Aviation Administration, together with other agencies, will provide WADGPS corrections, additional ranging signals from geostationary (GEO) satellites, and integrity data on the GPS and GEO satellites [81].
The GEO Uplink Subsytem includes a closed-loop control algorithm and special signal generator hardware. These ensure that the downlink signal to the users is controlled adequately to be used as a ranging source to supplement the GPS satellites in view.
The primary mission of WAAS is to provide a means for air navigation for all phases of ¯ight in the National Airspace System (NAS) from departure, en route, arrival, and through approach. GPS augmented by WAAS offers the capability for both nonprecision approach (NPA) and precision approach (PA) within a speci®c service volume. A secondary mission of the WAAS is to provide a WAAS network time (WNT) offset between the WNT and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for nonnavigation users.
WAAS provides improved en route navigation and PA capability to WAAS certi®ed avionics. The safety critical WAAS system consists of the equipment and

software necessary to augment the Department of Defense (DoD) provided GPS SPS. WAAS provides a signal in space (SIS) to WAAS certi®ed aircraft avionics using the WAAS for any FAA-approved phase of ¯ight. The SIS provides two services: (1) data on GPS and GEO satellites and (2) a ranging capability.
The GPS satellite data is received and processed at widely dispersed wide-area reference Stations (WRSs), which are strategically located to provide coverage over the required WAAS service volume. Data is forwarded to wide-area master stations (WMSs), which process the data from multiple WRSs to determine the integrity, differential corrections, and residual errors for each monitored satellite and for each predetermined ionospheric grid point (IGP). Multiple WMSs are provided to eliminate single-point failures within the WAAS network. Information from all WMSs is sent to each GEO uplink subsystem (GUS) and uplinked along with the GEO navigation message to GEO satellites. The GEO satellites downlink this data to the users via the GPS SPS L-band ranging signal (L1) frequency with GPS-type modulation. Each ground-based station=subsystem communicates via a terrestrial communications subsystem (TCS). See Fig. 9.1.
In addition to providing augmented GPS data to the users, WAAS veri®es its own integrity and takes any necessary action to ensure that the system meets the WAAS performance requirements. WAAS also has a system operation and maintenance function that provides status and related maintenance information to FAA airway facilities (AFs) NAS personnel.
WAAS has a functional veri®cation system (FVS) that is used for early development test and evaluation (DT&E), re®nement of contractor site installation procedures, system-level testing, WAAS operational testing, and long-term support for WAAS.

Correction and Veri®cation (C&V) processes data from all WRSs to determine integrity, differential corrections, satellite orbits, and residual error bounds for each monitored satellite. It also determines ionospheric vertical delays and their residual error bounds at each of the IGPs. C&V schedules and formats WAAS messages and forwards them to the GUSs for broadcast to the GEO satellites.
C&V`s capabilities are as follows:
1. Control C&V Operations and Maintenance (COM) supports the transfer of ®les, performs remotely initiated software con®guration checks, and accepts requests to start and stop execution of the C&V application software.
2. Control C&V Modes (CMD) manage mode transitions in the C&V subsys-tem while the application software is running.
3. Monitor C&V (MCV) reports line replaceable unit (LRU) faults and con®guration status. In addition, it monitors software processes and provides performance data for the local C&V subsystems.
4. Process Input Data (PID) selects and monitors data from the wide-area reference equipment (WREs). Data that passes PID screening is repackaged for other C&V capabilities. PID performs clock and L1 GPS Precision Positioning Service L-band ranging signal (L2) receiver bias calculations, cycle slip detection, outlier detection, data smoothing, and data monitoring. In addition, PID calculates and applies the windup correction to the carrier phase, accumulates data to estimate the pseudorange to carrier phase bias, and computes the ionosphere corrected carrier phase and measured slant delay.
5. Satellite Orbit Determination (SOD) determines the GPS and GEO satellite orbits and clock offsets, WRE receiver clock offsets, and troposphere delay.
6. Ionosphere Correction Computation (ICC) determines the L1 IGP vertical delays, grid ionosphere vertical error (GIVE) for all de®ned IGPs, and L1±L2 interfrequency bias for each satellite transmitter and each WRS receiver.
7. Satellite Correction Processing (SCP) determines the fast and long-term satellite corrections, including the user differential range error (UDRE). It determines the WNTand the GEO and WNTclock steering commands [99].
8. Independent Data Veri®cation (IDV) compares satellite corrections, GEO navigation data, and ionospheric corrections from two independent computa-tional sources, and if the comparisons arewithin limits, one source is selected from which to build the WAAS messages. If the comparisons are not within limits, various responses may occur, depending on the data being compared, all the way from alarms being generated to the C&V being faulted.
9. Message Output Processing (MOP) transmits messages containing indepen-dently veri®ed results of C&V calculations to the GUS processing (GP) for broadcast.
10. C&V Playback (PLB) processes the playback data that has been recorded by the other C&V capabilities.

11. Integrity Data Monitoring (IDM) checks both the broadcast and the to-be-broadcast UDREs and GIVEs to ensure that they are properly bounding their errors. In addition, it monitors and validates that the broadcast messages are sent correctly. It also performs the WAAS time-to-alarm validation [1, 99].
9.2.3.1 WRS Algorithms Each WRS collects raw pseudorange (PR) and accumulated delta range (ADR) measurements from GPS and GEO satellites selected for tracking. Each WRS performs smoothing on the measurements and corrects for atmospheric effects, that is, ionospheric and tropospheric delays. These smoothed and atmospherically corrected measurements are provided to the WMS.
9.2.3.2 WMS Foreground (Fast) Algorithms The WMS foreground algo-rithms are applicable to real-time processing functions, speci®cally the computation of fast correction, determination of satellite integrity status and WAAS message formatting. This processing is done at a 1-HZ rate.
9.2.3.3 WMS Background (Slow) Algorithms The WMS background processing consists of algorithms that estimate slowly varying parameters. These algorithms consist of WRS clock error estimation, grid ionospeci®c delay computa-tion, broadcast ephemeris computation, satellite orbit determination, satellite ephe-meris error computation, and satellite visibility computation.
9.2.3.4 Independent Data Veri®cation and Validation Algorithms This includes a set of WRS and at least one WMS, which enable monitoring the integrity status of GPS and the determination of wide-area DGPS correction data. Each WRS has three dual frequency GPS receivers to provide parallel sets of measurement data. The presence of parallel data streams enables Independent Data Veri®cation and Validation (IDV&V) to be employed to ensure the integrity of GPS data and their corrections in the WAAS messages broadcast via one or more GEOs. With IDV&V active, the WMS applies the corrections computed from one stream to the data from the other stream to provide veri®cation of the corrections prior to transmission. The primary data stream is also used for the validation phase to check the active (already broadcast) correction and to monitor their SIS performance. These algorithms are continually being improved. The latest versions can be found in references [48, 96, 97, 137, 99] and [98, pp. 397±425].
9.3 GEO UPLINK SUBSYSTEM (GUS)
Corrections from the WMS are sent to the ground uplink subsystem (GUS) for uplink to the GEO. The GUS receives integrity and correction data and WAAS speci®c messages from the WMS, adds forward error correction (FEC) encoding, and transmits the messages via a C-band uplink to the GEO satellites for broadcast to the WAAS user. The GUS signal uses the GPS standard positioning service
