1. Smartphone-Based Positioning Augmented by BDSBAS Ionospheric Corrections.

Author

Liu, Bingcheng, Liu, Ang, Chen, Lei, Li, Zishen, Wang, Ningbo, Shao, Bo, and Wang, Liang

Abstract

BeiDou Satellite-Based Augmentation System (BDSBAS) can notably improve the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) L1 positioning performance by transmitting the orbit, clock, and ionosphere corrections. Aside from terrestrial geodetic receivers, mass-market smartphones also benefit from the augmentation service. In this letter, the smartphone-based GPS-L1 standard point positioning (SPP) augmented by BDSBAS corrections is analyzed using the Huawei-P40 smartphone. The quality of BDSBAS-B1C ionospheric information is evaluated by ionospheric observables retrieved from the selected 20 stations. Compared to the BDS-3 global ionosphere model (BDGIM) and the Global Ionosphere Maps (GIM) of the International GNSS Service (IGS), the accuracy of BDSBAS ionospheric correction is about 28% better than BDGIM and 11% better than the IGS-GIM. Compared to the GPS-L1 SPP, the accuracy of BDSBAS augmented smartphone positioning increases by 27% in the horizontal component and 41% in a vertical component in the open-sky environment, and 50% improvement in both directions in the second experiment where the smartphone connects with an external geodetic GNSS antenna to reduce the negative effects of multipath errors.

Abstract

Every year, for ten years now, the IPIN competition has aimed at evaluating real-world indoor localisation systems by testing them in a realistic environment, with realistic movement, using the EvAAL framework. The competition provided a unique overview of the state-of-the-art of systems, technologies, and methods for indoor positioning and navigation purposes. Through fair comparison of the performance achieved by each system, the competition was able to identify the most promising approaches and to pinpoint the most critical working conditions. In 2020, the competition included 5 diverse off-site off-site Tracks, each resembling real use cases and challenges for indoor positioning. The results in terms of participation and accuracy of the proposed systems have been encouraging. The best performing competitors obtained a third quartile of error of 1 m for the Smartphone Track and 0.5 m for the Foot-mounted IMU Track. While not running on physical systems, but only as algorithms, these results represent impressive achievements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

IPIN 2019 Competition, sixth in a series of IPIN competitions, was held at the CNR Research Area of Pisa (IT), integrated into the program of the IPIN 2019 Conference. It included two on-site real-time Tracks and three off-site Tracks. The four Tracks presented in this paper were set in the same environment, made of two buildings close together for a total usable area of 1000 m2 outdoors and and 6000 m2 indoors over three floors, with a total path length exceeding 500 m. IPIN competitions, based on the EvAAL framework, have aimed at comparing the accuracy performance of personal positioning systems in fair and realistic conditions: past editions of the competition were carried in big conference settings, university campuses and a shopping mall. Positioning accuracy is computed while the person carrying the system under test walks at normal walking speed, uses lifts and goes up and down stairs or briefly stops at given points. Results presented here are a showcase of state-of-the-art systems tested side by side in real-world settings as part of the on-site real-time competition Tracks. Results for off-site Tracks allow a detailed and reproducible comparison of the most recent positioning and tracking algorithms in the same environment as the on-site Tracks.

Abstract

An accurate and reliable Indoor Positioning System (IPS) applicable to most indoor scenarios has been sought for many years. The number of technologies, techniques, and approaches in general used in IPS proposals is remarkable. Such diversity, coupled with the lack of strict and verifiable evaluations, leads to difficulties for appreciating the true value of most proposals. This paper provides a meta-review that performed a comprehensive compilation of 62 survey papers in the area of indoor positioning. The paper provides the reader with an introduction to IPS and the different technologies, techniques, and some methods commonly employed. The introduction is supported by consensus found in the selected surveys and referenced using them. Thus, the meta-review allows the reader to inspect the IPS current state at a glance and serve as a guide for the reader to easily find further details on each technology used in IPS. The analyses of the meta-review contributed with insights on the abundance and academic significance of published IPS proposals using the criterion of the number of citations. Moreover, 75 works are identified as relevant works in the research topic from a selection of about 4000 works cited in the analyzed surveys.
