Abstract.
For the commonly used GPS wide-area augmentation systems (WAAS) with a grid ionospheric model, the efficient modelling of ionospheric delays in real time, for single-frequency GPS users, is still a crucial issue which needs further research. This is particularly necessary when differential ionospheric delay corrections cannot be broadcast, when users cannot receive them, or when there are ionospheric anomalies. Ionospheric delays have a severe effect on navigation performance of single-frequency receivers. A new scheme is proposed which can efficiently address the above problems. The robust recurrence technique is based on the efficient combination of single-frequency GPS observations by users and the high-precision differential ionospheric delay corrections from WAAS. Its effectiveness is verified with examples.
