Multi-frequency smartphone positioning performance evaluation: insights into A-GNSS PPP-B2b services and beyond
In August 2023, Xiaomi launched the Redmi K60 Ultra, the first multi-frequency smartphone with integrated A-GNSS PPP-B2b services, leveraging the synergy between 5G and GNSS under the 3GPP LPP and OMA SUPL protocols. This study evaluates its performance across multiple metrics including observation noise, TTFF, 5G OTDOA, A-GNSS PPP, and 3DMA PPP positioning. The findings reveal that the Redmi K60 Ultra sets a benchmark in GNSS noise control for the mainstream market, with A-GNSS services reducing cold start positioning time to under 5 s, achieving over 85% efficiency improvement. A-GNSS PPP positioning accuracy surpasses 2 m in most scenarios and 1.5 m under open skies, suitable for lane-level navigation. Additionally, 3DMA PPP significantly enhances positioning in urban canyons, improving accuracy by over 30% compared to standalone PPP. Future enhancements for the A-GNSS platform include 3D city models, precise atmospheric corrections, integrity enhancements, and LEOs.
