GNSS Augmentation Systems

Types
Satellite Based (SBAS), Ground Based (GBAS), Aircraft based (ABAS)
Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS)

  • DGNSS (NTRIP)
  • RTK (NTRIP Protocol, RTCM3.x or other open data formats) / OSR (Observation State Representation) - CPDGNSS
  • PPP (Proprietary Data Formats) (not DGNSS, uses internet correction providers like IGS (International GNSS), unidirectional communication, slow <3-30 min, <10 cm, long range (global))
  • PPP-RTK / SSR (State Space Representation) (SPARTN Data Format)- same accuracy, PPP coverage (continental), lower bandwidth than RTK, as fast as RTK, unidirectional communication); uBlox PointPerfect has SSR (cm level in <30 sec)
  • Trimble RTX (similar accuracy to GAGAN (from a Paper, for Sri Lanka))

  • Network RTK (NRTK)

  • Wide Area RTK (WARTK) - developed by gAGE/UPC (Research Group of Astronomy and Geomatics/Technical University of Catalonia) (Unlike RTK, doesn't assume Ionosphere delay is same for all users, instead broadcasts the data with different algorithms ref: Navipedia, the Offcial European GNSS WIki)

Wide Area DGNSS (WADGNSS)

  • GPS and Geo Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) (Indian SBAS)
  • WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) - USA
  • EGNOS - the European operational SBAS
  • MSAS - the Japanese operational SBAS
  • CDGPS - Canadian Differential GPS
