Navigation message designing with high accuracy for NAV

Navigation message designing with high accuracy guarantee is the key to efficient navigation message distribution in the global navigation satellite system (GNSS). Developing high accuracy-aware navigation message designing algorithms is an important topic. This paper investigates the high-accuracy navigation message designing problem with the message structure unchanged. The contributions made in this paper include a heuristic that employs the concept of the estimated range deviation (ERD) to improve the existing well-known navigation message on L1 frequency (NAV) of global positioning system (GPS) for good accuracy service; a numerical analysis approximation method (NAAM) to evaluate the range error due to truncation (RET) of different navigation messages; and a basic positioning parameters designing algorithm in the limited space allocation. Based on the predicted ultra-rapid data from the ultra-rapid data from the international GPS service for geodynamic (IGU), ERDs are generated in real time for error correction. Simulations show that the algorithms developed in this paper are general and flexible, and thus are applicable to NAV improvement and other navigation message designs.
