Multipath is the main systematic error of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) short baseline positioning. Multipath cannot be eliminated by the double-differenced technique and is difficult to parameterize, which severely restrict the high-precision GNSS positioning application. Based on the spatiotemporal repeatability of multipath, the sidereal filtering in coordinate-domain (SF-CD), the sidereal filtering in observation-domain (SF-OD), and the multipath hemispherical map (MHM) can be used to mitigate the multipath in real-time. However, the multipath model with large matrix for multi-GNSS multipath mitigation is difficult to achieve lightweight calculation and the SF-CD cannot be applied to mitigate the multi-GNSS multipath. In this paper, we propose a new multipath mitigation strategy in the coordinate-domain that shakes off the formation mechanism of multipath, a CNN (convolutional neural network)-LSTM (long short-term memory) method is used to mine the deep multipath features in GNSS coordinate series. Furthermore, multipath will be mitigated in real-time by constantly predicting the value of the next epoch. The experimental results show that the CNN-LSTM effectively mitigates the multi-GNSS multipath. The method can reduce the average RMS (root-mean square) of multi-GNSS positioning errors in the east, north, and vertical directions by 62.3%, 70.8%, and 66.0%. Moreover, comparing with the SF-CD, SF-OD, and MHM, CNN-LSTM can more effectively mitigate the effects of the GPS multipath, and the ability of multipath mitigation is almost not affected over time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
