Table 5 The detailed processing setups for PPP–RTK

From: Investigating GNSS PPP–RTK with external ionospheric constraints

Item

Strategy

Float PPP

Global Positioning System (GPS), GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS), Galileo navigation satellite system (Galileo) and BeiDou navigation satellite system (BDS)

Ambiguity fixed

GPS

Frequency

L1 and L2

Weight strategy

Elevation dependent

Priori precision

0.3 m for code observation

0.03 m for phase observation

Tropospheric delay

Without external tropospheric information constraints

Saastamoinen model (Saastamoinen, 1972) for hydrostatic component

Estimated as random walk for zenith total tropospheric delay

Global Mapping Function (GMF) (Boehm et al., 2006) is used as tropospheric mapping function

Ionospheric delay

With external ionospheric information constraints

Server: zero-differenced integer ambiguity fixed method

Users: constrained by network corrections using inversed distance weight

Elevation cutoff

10°

Satellite DCB

Corrected with the monthly satellite DCB products provided by CODE
